Multifactor Authentication - Today, with the rapid development of the information society and the increasingly complex computer network environment, multi-factor authentication, as one of the security protection technologies, plays an important role in both IT science and business. How to safely complete multi-factor authentication without affecting user experience has attracted extensive attention from researchers in the field of business security protection and network security. The purpose of this paper is to apply multi-factor authentication technology to enterprise security protection systems, develop and design a security protection technology based on multi-factor authentication dynamic authorization, and provide enterprises with unified identity management and authority management methods. The cornerstone of trust and security to ensure uninterrupted and stable operation of users. The original master key k is subjected to secondary multi-factor processing, which enhances the user s authentication ability and effectively avoids the risk of easy password theft and disguised identity. In order to meet the given VoIP security requirements, a SIP multi-factor authentication protocol is proposed for the VoIP environment by using the multi-factor authentication technology to solve the security problem. The performance test results show that due to the influence of data encryption and decryption, the response time of the encrypted database is 100s longer than that of the unencrypted one, but the growth rate is 10\% smaller than that of the unencrypted one. Therefore, the performance of this scheme is better when the amount of data is larger.

Multicore Computing Security - Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is a widely deployed low-power technology in modern systems. In this paper, we discover a vulnerability in the implementation of the DVFS technology that allows us to measure the processor’s frequency in the userspace. By exploiting this vulnerability, we successfully implement a covert channel on the commercial Intel platform and demonstrate that the covert channel can reach a throughput of 28.41bps with an error rate of 0.53\%. This work indicates that the processor’s hardware information that is unintentionally leaked to the userspace by the privileged kernel modules may cause security risks.

Metadata Discovery Problem - Semantic segmentation is one of the key research areas in computer vision, which has very important applications in areas such as autonomous driving and medical image diagnosis. In recent years, the technology has advanced rapidly, where current models have been able to achieve high accuracy and efficient speed on some widely used datasets. However, the semantic segmentation task still suffers from the inability to generate accurate boundaries in the case of insufficient feature information. Especially in the field of medical image segmentation, most of the medical image datasets usually have class imbalance issues and there are always variations in factors such as shape and color between different datasets and cell types. Therefore, it is difficult to establish general algorithms across different classes and robust algorithms that differ across different datasets. In this paper, we propose a conditional data preprocessing strategy, i.e., Conditional Metadata Embedding (CME) data preprocessing strategy. The CME data preprocessing method will embed conditional information to the training data, which can assist the model to better overcome the differences in the datasets and extract useful feature information in the images. The experimental results show that the CME data preprocessing method can help different models achieve higher segmentation performance on different datasets, which shows the high practicality and robustness of this method.

MANET Attack Detection - The MANET architecture's future growth will make extensive use of encryption and encryption to keep network participants safe. Using a digital signature node id, we illustrate how we may stimulate the safe growth of subjective clusters while simultaneously addressing security and energy efficiency concerns. The dynamic topology of MANET allows nodes to join and exit at any time. A form of attack known as a black hole assault was used to accomplish this. To demonstrate that he had the shortest path with the least amount of energy consumption, an attacker in MATLAB R2012a used a digital signature ID to authenticate the node from which he wished to intercept messages (DSEP). “Digital Signature”, “MANET,” and “AODV” are all terms used to describe various types of digital signatures. Black Hole Attack, Single Black Hole Attack, Digital Signature, and DSEP are just a few of the many terms associated with MANET.

MANET Attack Prevention - All across the world, majority of humans rely upon wireless ADHOC network. So, it turns into the maximum priority to lessen the vulnerability of wireless network. Wireless networks are exposed to many distinct varieties of attacks out of which wormhole attack is most dangerous. Unlike many different attacks on ad hoc routing, wormhole attack could be very effective and cannot be avoided with cryptographic approach due to the fact intruders do now no longer modify the packet data, it replays the packets. An intentionally positioned wormhole can cause a significant breakdown in communication. An analysis was performed in this study that removed wormhole attacks from MANET using changes to the AODV routing protocol. We have used Smart Packet Detection and Prevention Technique (SPDPT) to remove Wormhole. We have examined simulation parameters such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, energy consumption, and throughput.

MANET Attack Prevention - Since the mid-1990s, the growth of laptops and Wi-Fi networks has led to a great increase in the use of MANET (Mobile ad hoc network) in wireless communication. MANET is a group of mobile devices for example mobile phones, computers, laptops, radios, sensors, etc., that communicate with each other wirelessly without any support from existing internet infrastructure or any other kind of fixed stations. As MANET is an infrastructure-less network it is prone to various attacks, which can lead to loss of information during communication, security breaches or other unauthentic malpractices. Various types of attacks to which MANET can be vulnerable are denial of service (DOS) and packet dropping attacks such as Gray hole, Blackhole, Wormhole, etc. In this research, we are particularly focusing on the detection and prevention of Gray hole attack. Gray hole node drops selective data packets, while participating in the routing process like other nodes, and advertises itself as a genuine node. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) technique is used for identification and aversion of the Gray hole attack. Use of AODV routing protocol is made in the network. The network is incorporated and simulation parameters such as PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), Energy Consumption, End-to-end delay, and Throughput are analyzed using simulation software.

Information Reuse and Security - Successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) is widely adopted in the Internet of Things (IoT) systems due to its simple structure and high energy efficiency. Unfortunately, SAR ADC dissipates various and unique power features when it converts different input signals, leading to severe vulnerability to power side-channel attack (PSA). The adversary can accurately derive the input signal by only measuring the power information from the analog supply pin (AVDD), digital supply pin (DVDD), and/or reference pin (Ref) which feed to the trained machine learning models. This paper first presents the detailed mathematical analysis of power side-channel attack (PSA) to SAR ADC, concluding that the power information from AVDD is the most vulnerable to PSA compared with the other supply pin. Then, an LSB-reused protection technique is proposed, which utilizes the characteristic of LSB from the SAR ADC itself to protect against PSA. Lastly, this technique is verified in a 12-bit 5 MS/s secure SAR ADC implemented in 65nm technology. By using the current waveform from AVDD, the adopted convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms can achieve \textgreater99\% prediction accuracy from LSB to MSB in the SAR ADC without protection. With the proposed protection, the bit-wise accuracy drops to around 50\%.

Information Reuse and Security - The experimental results demonstrated that, With the development of cloud computing, more and more people use cloud computing to do all kinds of things. However, for cloud computing, the most important thing is to ensure the stability of user data and improve security at the same time. From an analysis of the experimental results, it can be found that Cloud computing makes extensive use of technical means such as computing virtualization, storage system virtualization and network system virtualization, abstracts the underlying physical facilities into external unified interfaces, maps several virtual networks with different topologies to the underlying infrastructure, and provides differentiated services for external users. By comparing and analyzing the experimental results, it is clear that virtualization technology will be the main way to solve cloud computing security. Virtualization technology introduces a virtual layer between software and hardware, provides an independent running environment for applications, shields the dynamics, distribution and differences of hardware platforms, supports the sharing and reuse of hardware resources, provides each user with an independent and isolated computer environment, and facilitates the efficient and dynamic management and maintenance of software and hardware resources of the whole system. Applying virtualization technology to cloud security reduces the hardware cost and management cost of "cloud security" enterprises to a certain extent, and improves the security of "cloud security" technology to a certain extent. This paper will outline the basic cloud computing security methods, and focus on the analysis of virtualization cloud security technology

Information Reuse and Security - With the development of software defined network and network function virtualization, network operators can flexibly deploy service function chains (SFC) to provide network security services more than before according to the network security requirements of business systems. At present, most research on verifying the correctness of SFC is based on whether the logical sequence between service functions (SF) in SFC is correct before deployment, and there is less research on verifying the correctness after SFC deployment. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of using Colored Petri Net (CPN) to establish a verification model offline and verify whether each SF deployment in SFC is correct after online deployment. After the SFC deployment is completed, the information is obtained online and input into the established model for verification. The experimental results show that the SFC correctness verification method proposed in this paper can effectively verify whether each SF in the deployed SFC is deployed correctly. In this process, the correctness of SF model is verified by using SF model in the model library, and the model reuse technology is preliminarily discussed.

Intrusion Intolerance - Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) offer a promising wireless communications technology for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Among various existing LPWAN technologies, Long-Range WAN (LoRaWAN) consumes minimal power and provides virtual channels for communication through spreading factors. However, LoRaWAN suffers from the interference problem among nodes connected to a gateway that uses the same spreading factor. Such interference increases data communication time, thus reducing data freshness and suitability of LoRaWAN for delay-sensitive applications. To minimize the interference problem, an optimal allocation of the spreading factor is requisite for determining the time duration of data transmission. This paper proposes a game-theoretic approach to estimate the time duration of using a spreading factor that ensures on-time data delivery with maximum network utilization. We incorporate the Age of Information (AoI) metric to capture the freshness of information as demanded by the applications. Our proposed approach is validated through simulation experiments, and its applicability is demonstrated for a crop protection system that ensures real-time monitoring and intrusion control of animals in an agricultural field. The simulation and prototype results demonstrate the impact of the number of nodes, AoI metric, and game-theoretic parameters on the performance of the IoT network.

Internet-scale Computing Security - With the rapid growth of the number of global network entities and interconnections, the security risks of network relationships are constantly accumulating. As the basis of network interconnection and communication, Internet routing is facing severe challenges such as insufficient online monitoring capability of large-scale routing events and lack of effective and credible verification mechanism. Major global routing security events emerge one after another, causing extensive and far-reaching impacts. To solve these problems, China Telecom studied the BGP (border gateway protocol) SDN (software defined network) controller technology to monitor the interconnection routing, constructed the global routing information database trust source integrating multi-dimensional information and developed the function of the protocol level based real-time monitoring system of Internet routing security events. Through these means, it realizes the second-level online monitoring capability of large-scale IP network Internet service routing events, forms the minute-level route leakage interception and route hijacking blocking solutions, and achieves intelligent protection capability of Internet routing security.

Insider Threat - Compare to outside threats, insider threats that originate within targeted systems are more destructive and invisible. More importantly, it is more difficult to detect and mitigate these insider threats, which poses significant cyber security challenges to an industry control system (ICS) tightly coupled with today’s information technology infrastructure. Currently, power utilities rely mainly on the authentication mechanism to prevent insider threats. If an internal intruder breaks the protection barrier, it is hard to identify and intervene in time to prevent harmful damage. Based on the existing in-depth security defense system, this paper proposes an insider threat protection scheme for ICSs of power utilities. This protection scheme can conduct compliance check by taking advantage of the characteristics of its business process compliance and the nesting of upstream and downstream business processes. Taking the Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMIs) in power utilities as an example, the potential insider threats of violation and misoperation under the current management mechanism are identified after the analysis of remote charge control operation. According to the business process, a scheme of compliance check for remote charge control command is presented. Finally, the analysis results of a specific example demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively prevent the consumers’ power outage due to insider threats.
