Today’s security systems have been drawing great attentions as cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to the nature that make them suitable for use in constrained environment such as mobile sensor information applications, where computing resources and power availability are limited. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is one of them, which requires less computational power, communication bandwidth, and memory in comparison with other cryptosystem. In particularly, in order to save pre-computing there is a trend for sensor networks to design a sensor-group-leader rather than every sensor node communicates to the end database, which indicated the needs to prevent from the man-in-the middle attacking. In this paper we first present an algorithm that we called “hidden generation point” ECC protocol to protecting the ECC key exchange system from the man-in-middle attacking in wireless sensor networks. Even though there are other ways to be investigated, which will published in other paper, the major contribution in this paper is showing the hidden generation point” works. Also it is noted that the agent technology provides a method for handling increasing software complexity and supporting rapid and accurate decision making. A multi-agent applying for key exchange is motioned even the further discussed will be presented in another paper as the major task of this paper is presenting “hidden generation point.”

This paper extends the dynamic copula model for bivariate option pricing in Goorbergh et al (2004) to price credit spread options. We use GARCH-t model to describe the marginal distributions for corporate bonds and treasury, and combine them with dynamic Gaussian copula to obtain the joint distribution. As an application we use this model to price credit spread options written on American corporate bonds. Unlike other approaches for credit spread option pricing, this model is based on the two components of the spread rather than the spread itself, and the dependence structure is time-varying.

Since the number of server providing the facilities for users is usually more than one, remote user authentication schemes used for multi-server architectures, rather than single server circumstance, is considered. In 2009, Hsiang and Shih proposed an “Improvement of the secure dynamic ID based remote user authentication scheme for multi-server environment” that uses dynamic ID instead of static ID to achieve user’s anonymity for verifying the legitimacy of a remote login user. In this paper, we analyze their protocol and demonstrate that it cannot achieve true anonymity and has some other weaknesses. We further propose the improvements to avoid those security problems. Besides user privacy, the key features of our scheme are including no verification table, freely chosen password, mutual authentication, low computation and communication cost, single registration, session key agreement, and being secure against the related attacks.

In this paper, a new orientation-based method which operates in two-step, called in Dynamic Processing (DP) system, is proposed for the determination of fingerprint reference point. For the two-step operation, it uses different orientation features at different scales: block-based orientation certainty and pixel-based segmented direction map. A block-based orientation certainty is used to describe the change of a block curvature of a fingerprint, which is determined by two eigenvalues of the gradient covariance matrix and a pixel-based segmented direction map is used to find intersections emerging from the directional transition. The DP system is built through their cross-references to determine the position of reference point. While the proposed system has the pixel-based precision by virtue of using a pixel-based segmented direction map, it reduces many possible fault symptoms by virtue of using a block-based orientation certainty. The proposed technique shows better performance in accuracy rate than other previous techniques. The performance of the proposed one is verified through simulations and its analysis.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one of main threats to Internet security. Due to the spatio-temporal properties of the attack, it is possible to detect the attack at its early stage. In this paper, we propose a novel method of DDoS threat assessment based on network vulnerability analysis. Both the multi-phase character in the temporal dimension and the impacts in the spatial dimension are concerned in our method. We use three metrics to assess threat, namely the ratio of progress, botnet size, and bots distribution. Experimental results show that our method is sensitive to the changes of attack states, and is easy to be implemented in an early warning system because of its simplicity.

String matching is a basic problem of string operation, and privacy-preserving string matching, as a special case of secure multi-party computation, has broad applications in auction, bidding and some other commercial areas. In this paper, some protocols are proposed to solve this private matching problem, the security and correctness are analyzed respectively, and the actual efficiency is tested by experiment. A protocol is also designed based on the BMH algorithm which is more efficient and conceals more private information.

Providing access to relevant confidential information during an emergency increases the efficiency of emergency response operations. Existing approaches rely on a centralized on-line authority to regulate access to emergency applications and data. Unfortunately, it cannot be guaranteed that the central authority is available during an incident. Additionally, the central authority must be trusted to manage access to restricted data of each participating organization. Using a physical security token for decentralized trust decisions to gain transient access to emergency applications and data mitigates these problems. Therefore, we propose the Attestation Verification Device (AVD) combined with a proper administration infrastructure and suitable protocols. Our solution allows to distribute the administration responsibility in a way which empowers all participating emergency services and organizations to manage their own applications and confidential data.

Stepping stone attacks are often used by network intruders to hide their identities. The Round Trip Times (RTT) between the send packets and corresponding echo packets for the connection chains of stepping stones are critical for detecting such attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel real-time RTT getting algorithm for stepping stones which is based on the estimation of the current RTT value. Our experiments show that it is far more precise than the previous real-time RTT getting algorithms. We also present the probability analysis which shows that our algorithm has a high matching rate and a high accurate rate.

Feature selection is an important research problem in machine learning and data mining applications. This paper proposes a hybrid wrapper and filter feature selection algorithm by introducing the filter’s feature ranking score in the wrapper stage to speed up the search process for wrapper and thereby finding a more compact feature subset. The approach hybridizes a Mutual Information (MI) based Maximum Relevance (MR) filter ranking heuristic with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based wrapper approach where Artificial Neural Network Input Gain Measurement Approximation (ANNIGMA) has been combined with MR (MR-ANNIGMA) to guide the search process in the wrapper. The novelty of our approach is that we use hybrid of wrapper and filter methods that combines filter’s ranking score with the wrapper-heuristic’s score to take advantages of both filter and wrapper heuristics. Performance of the proposed MR-ANNIGMA has been verified using bench mark data sets and compared to both independent filter and wrapper based approaches. Experimental results show that MR-ANNIGMA achieves more compact feature sets and higher accuracies than both filter and wrapper approaches alone.

As network capacity has increased over the past decade, individuals and organisations have found it increasingly appealling to make use of remote services in the form of service-oriented architectures and cloud computing services. Data processed by remote services, however, is no longer under the direct control of the individual or organisation that provided the data, leaving data owners at risk of data theft or misuse. This paper describes a model by which data owners can control the distribution and use of their data throughout a dynamic coalition of service providers using digital rights management technology. Our model allows a data owner to establish the trustworthiness of every member of a coalition employed to process data, and to communicate a machine-enforceable usage policy to every such member.
