Event-driven,pattern-based methodology for cost-effective development of standardized personal health devices

Experiences applying standards in personal health devices (PHDs) show an inherent trade-off between interoperability and costs (in terms of processing load and development time). Therefore, reducing hardware and software costs as well as time-to-market is crucial for standards adoption. The ISO/IEEE11073 PHD family of standards (also referred to as X73PHD) provides interoperable communication between PHDs and aggregators. Nevertheless, the responsibility of achieving inexpensive implementations of X73PHD in limited resource microcontrollers falls directly on the developer. Hence, the authors previously presented a methodology based on patterns to implement X73-compliant PHDs into devices with low-voltage low-power constraints. That version was based on multitasking, which required additional features and resources. This paper therefore presents an event-driven evolution of the patterns-based methodology for cost-effective development of standardized PHDs. The results of comparing between the two versions showed that the mean values of decrease in memory consumption and cycles of latency are 11.59% and 45.95%, respectively. In addition, several enhancements in terms of cost-effectiveness and development time can be derived from the new version of the methodology. Therefore, the new approach could help in producing cost-effective X73-compliant PHDs, which in turn could foster the adoption of standards.

基于CP—ABE访问控制系统的设计与实现

在访问控制中,传统公钥加密由于其需要对接收群体的每个成员用其公钥加密,再分发,因此需要获取接收群体中每个成员的身份。但是,在分布式应用中,却难以一次获取接收群体的规模与成员身份。如果列举用户身份,则会损害用户隐私。基于密文策略的属性加密体制（CP—ABE）,由于其广播式的、授权人通过满足某些条件就能确定的特点,避免了由于必须获取这些信息而引出的数据安全问题。于是,文中给出了一种基于CP—ABE的混合加密访问控制系统的设计与实现方案。通过实际项目的成功应用,证明了该方案的可行性与优越性。     

完全隐藏策略的基于属性可搜索加密方案

目前的基于属性可搜索加密方案（ATT-PEKS）,虽然解决了关键词密文只能被唯一用户搜索的限制,实现了加密数据的多用户共享,但是却没有隐藏访问策略,访问策略一旦被不好奇且不可信赖的服务器攻击者获取到,可能会造成机密信息的泄露。所以,为了解决此问题,提出了完全隐藏策略的基于属性可搜索加密方案,并给出了具体的算法构造,使得方案不仅具有多用户数据共享的优势,还实现了访问策略的完全隐藏。并对此方案进行了安全性以及性能分析,证明了方案具有在属性集合模型下的抗攻击性安全,还能保证索引和关键词明文的机密性。在性能方面使用较少的运算量就可实现隐藏访问策略和加密数据共享两大功能。     

On the complexity of role updating feasibility problem in RBAC

In Role Based Access Control (RBAC) systems, it is necessary and important to update the role–permission assignments in order to reflect the evolutions of the system transactions. However, role updating is generally complex and challenging, especially for large-scale RBAC systems. This is because the resulting state is usually expected to meet various requirements and constraints. In this paper, we focus on a fundamental problem of role updating in RBAC, which determines whether there exists a valid role–permission assignment, i.e., whether it can satisfy all the requirements of the role updating and without violating any role–capacity or permission–capacity constraint. We formally define such a problem as the Role Updating Feasibility Problem (RUFP), and study the computational complexity of RUFP in different subcases. Our results show that although several subcases are solvable in linear time, this problem is NP-complete in the general case.
