Controlled Secure Direct Communication Protocol via the Three-Qubit Partially Entangled Set of States

In this paper, we first re-examine the previous protocol of controlled quantum secure direct communication of Zhang et al.’s scheme, which was found insecure under two kinds of attacks, fake entangled particles attack and disentanglement attack. Then, by changing the party of the preparation of cluster states and using unitary operations, we present an improved protocol which can avoid these two kinds of attacks. Moreover, the protocol is proposed using the three-qubit partially entangled set of states. It is more efficient by only using three particles rather than four or even more to transmit one bit secret information. Given our using state is much easier to prepare for multiqubit states and our protocol needs less measurement resource, it makes this protocol more convenient from an applied point of view.     

Comprehensive Analysis of Secure Data Aggregation Scheme for Industrial Wireless Sensor Network

As an Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN) is usually deployed in a harsh or unattended environment, the privacy security of data aggregation is facing more and more challenges. Currently, the data aggregation protocols mainly focus on improving the efficiency of data transmitting and aggregating, alternately, the aim at enhancing the security of data. The performances of the secure data aggregation protocols are the trade-off of several metrics, which involves the transmission/fusion, the energy efficiency and the security in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Unfortunately, there is no paper in systematic analysis about the performance of the secure data aggregation protocols whether in IWSN or in WSN. In consideration of IWSN, we firstly review the security requirements and techniques in WSN data aggregation in this paper. Then, we give a holistic overview of the classical secure data aggregation protocols, which are divided into three categories: hop-by-hop encrypted data aggregation, end-to-end encrypted data aggregation and unencrypted secure data aggregation. Along this way, combining with the characteristics of industrial applications, we analyze the pros and cons of the existing security schemes in each category qualitatively, and realize that the security and the energy efficiency are suitable for IWSN. Finally, we make the conclusion about the techniques and approach in these categories, and highlight the future research directions of privacy preserving data aggregation in IWSN.

Unconditionally Secure Oblivious Polynomial Evaluation: A Survey and New Results

Oblivious polynomial evaluation (OPE) is a two-party protocol that allows a receiver, R to learn an evaluation f(α), of a sender, S's polynomial f(x), whilst keeping both α and f(x) private. This protocol has attracted a lot of attention recently, as it has wide ranging applications in the field of cryptography. In this article we review some of these applications and, additionally, take an in-depth look at the special case of information theoretic OPE. Specifically, we provide a current and critical review of the existing information theoretic OPE protocols in the literature. We divide these protocols into two distinct cases (three-party and distributed OPE) allowing for the easy distinction and classification of future information theoretic OPE protocols. In addition to this work, we also develop several modifications and extensions to existing schemes, resulting in increased security, flexibility and efficiency. Lastly, we also identify a security flaw in a previously published OPE scheme.     

Multi-key FHE without ciphertext-expansion in two-server model

López-Alt et al.(STOC12)put forward a primitive called multi-key fully homomorphic encryption(MKFHE),in which each involved party encrypts their own data using keys that are independently and randomly chosen whereby arbitrary computations can be performed on these encrypted data by a final collector.Subsequently,several superior schemes based on the standard assumption(LWE)were proposed.Most of these schemes were constructed by expanding a fresh GSW-ciphertext or BGV-ciphertext under a single key to a new same-type ciphertext of the same message under a combination of associated parties’keys.Therefore,the new ciphertext’s size grew more or less linearly with an increase in the number of parties.In this paper,we proposed a novel and simple scheme of MKFHE based on LWE without increasing the size of the ciphertext in the two non-collusion server model.In other words,each party first independently shares their own data between two servers and each server only needs a one-round communication with another to construct a ciphertext of the same plaintext under a sum of associated parties’keys.Our new ciphertext under multiple keys has the same size as that of the original one with only one-round communication between two servers.The communication complexity is O(kmlogq)-bit,where k is the number of input ciphertexts involved,m is the size of a GSW-ciphertext and q is a modulus.In conclusion,we proved that our scheme is CPA-secure against semi-honest adversaries.

Design and ARM‐embedded implementation of a chaotic map‐based multicast scheme for multiuser speech wireless communication

This paper proposes a chaotic map‐based multicast scheme for multiuser speech wireless communication and implements it in an ARM platform. The scheme compresses the digital audio signal decoded by a sound card and then encrypts it with a three‐level chaotic encryption scheme. First, the position of every bit of the compressed data is permuted randomly with a pseudo‐random number sequence (PRNS) generated by a 6‐D chaotic map. Then, the obtained data are further permuted in the level of byte with a PRNS generated by a 7‐D chaotic map. Finally, it is operated with a multiround chaotic stream cipher. The whole system owns the following merits: the redundancy in the original audio file is reduced effectively and the corresponding unicity distance is increased; the balancing point between a high security level of the system and real‐time conduction speed is achieved well. In the ARM implementation, the framework of communication of multicast–multiuser in a subnet and the Internet Group Manage Protocol is adopted to obtain the function of communication between one client and other ones. Comprehensive test results were provided to show the feasibility and security performance of the whole system. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Secure Occupancy: A New Framework for Analysing Security in Rental Housing

Unlike debates about security for owner occupiers which recognise that security is complex and multi-layered, security for renters is often presented as single dimensional and conflated with de jure security of tenure, deriving from a property rights perspective. This article proposes a broader concept of ‘secure occupancy’ to enable a more nuanced understanding of security for tenants. A new framework is developed to enable investigation of the dynamic interactions between legislation/regulation, housing market conditions, public policies and cultural norms around renting, which shape security of occupancy for tenants. The paper illustrates this approach, drawing on a study of the rental systems of nine developed countries, identifying key factors that appear to have a strong bearing on strengthening, and weakening, of security of occupancy for renter households. The article concludes that this approach has the potential to deepen understanding of security for renters and to stimulate new avenues for research.
