In order to design an end-to-end data security preservation mechanism, this paper first proposes a grid terminal data security management model based on master-slave Blockchain, including grid terminal, slave Blockchain, and main Blockchain. Among them, the grid terminal mainly completes data generation and data release, the receiving of data and the distributed signature of data are mainly completed from the slave Blockchain, and the main Blockchain mainly completes the intelligent storage of data. Secondly, the data security management mechanism of grid terminal based on master-slave Blockchain is designed, including data distribution process design, data receiving process design, data distributed signature design and data intelligent storage process design. Finally, taking the identity registration and data storage process of the grid terminal as an example, the workflow of the data security management mechanism of the grid terminal based on the master-slave Blockchain is described in detail.

In order to solve the problem that the Nearest Neighbor Data Association (NNDA) algorithm cannot detect the “dynamic” change of the target, this paper proposes the nearest neighbor data association algorithm based on the Targets “Dynamic” Monitoring Model (TDMM). Firstly, the gate searching and updating of targets are completed based on TDMM, then the NNDA algorithm is utilized to achieve the data association of targets to realize track updating. Finally, the NNDA algorithm based on TDMM is realized by simulation. The experimental results show that the algorithm proposed can achieve “dynamic” monitoring in multi-target data association, and have more obvious advantages than Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) in timeliness and association performance.

We address secure resource allocation for the energy harvesting (EH) based 5G cooperative cognitive radio networks (CRNs). To guarantee that the size-limited secondary users (SUs) can simultaneously send the primary user's and their own information, we assume that SUs are equipped with orthogonally dual-polarized antennas (ODPAs). In particular, we propose, develop, and analyze an efficient resource allocation scheme under a practical non-linear EH model, which can capture the nonlinear characteristics of the end-to-end wireless power transfer (WPT) for radio frequency (RF) based EH circuits. Our obtained numerical results validate that a substantial performance gain can be obtained by employing the non-linear EH model.

Superconducting technology is being seriously explored for certain applications. We propose a new clean-slate method to derive fault models from large numbers of simulation results. For this technology, our method identifies completely new fault models – overflow, pulse-escape, and pattern-sensitive – in addition to the well-known stuck-at faults.

Searchable encryption server protects privacal data of data owner from leaks. This paper analyzes the security of a multi-user searchable encryption scheme and points out that this scheme does not satisfy the invisibility of trapdoors. In order to improve the security of the original scheme, this paper proposes a probably secure multi-user multi-keyword searchable encryption scheme. New secheme not only ensures the confidentiality of the cipher text keyword, but also does not increase the encryption workload of the data owner when the new data user joins. In the random oracle model, based on the hard problem of decisional Diffie-Hellman, it is proved that the scheme has trapdoor indistinguishability. In the end, obtained by the simulation program to achieve a new computationally efficient communication at low cost.

The growing interest in the smart device/home/city has resulted in increasing popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) deployment. However, due to the open and heterogeneous nature of IoT networks, there are various challenges to deploy an IoT network, among which security and scalability are the top two to be addressed. To improve the security and scalability for IoT networks, we propose a Software-Defined Virtual Private Network (SD-VPN) solution, in which each IoT application is allocated with its own overlay VPN. The VPN tunnels used in this paper are VxLAN based tunnels and we propose to use the SDN controller to push the flow table of each VPN to the related OpenvSwitch via the OpenFlow protocol. The SD-VPN solution can improve the security of an IoT network by separating the VPN traffic and utilizing service chaining. Meanwhile, it also improves the scalability by its overlay VPN nature and the VxLAN technology.

With increasing demand for travelling, high-quality network service is important to people in vehicle cabins. Visible light communication (VLC) system is more appropriate than wireless local area network considering the security, communication speed, and narrow shape of the cabin. However, VLC exhibits technical limitations, such as uneven distribution of optical signals. In this regard, we propose a novel weight search bat algorithm (WSBA) to calculate a set of optimal power adjustment factors to reduce fluctuation in signal distributions. Simulation results show that the fairness of signal distribution in the cabin optimized by WSBA is better than that of the non-optimized signal distribution. Moreover, the coverage rate of WSBA is higher than that of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization.
