With the ubiquitous network applications and the continuous development of network attack technology, all social circles have paid close attention to the cyberspace security. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) plays a very important role in ensuring computer and communication systems security. Recently, deep learning has achieved a great success in the field of intrusion detection. However, the high computational complexity poses a major hurdle for the practical deployment of DL-based models. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on a lightweight deep neural network (LNN) for IDS. We design a lightweight unit that can fully extract data features while reducing the computational burden by expanding and compressing feature maps. In addition, we use inverse residual structure and channel shuffle operation to achieve more effective training. Experiment results show that our proposed model for intrusion detection not only reduces the computational cost by 61.99% and the model size by 58.84%, but also achieves satisfactory accuracy and detection rate.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency whose transactions are recorded in a common ledger, so called blockchain. Due to the anonymity and lack of law enforcement, Bitcoin has been misused in darknet markets which deal with illegal products, such as drugs and weapons. Therefore from the security forensics aspect, it is demanded to establish an approach to identify newly emerged darknet markets' transactions and addresses. In this paper, we thoroughly analyze Bitcoin transactions and addresses related to darknet markets and propose a novel identification method of darknet markets' addresses. To improve the identification performance, we propose a voting based method which decides the labels of multiple addresses controlled by the same user based on the number of the majority label. Through the computer simulation with more than 200K Bitcoin addresses, it was shown that our voting based method outperforms the nonvoting based one in terms of precision, recal, and F1 score. We also found that DNM's addresses pay higher fees than others, which significantly improves the classification.

A physical layer network coding (PLNC) is a highly efficient scheme for exchanging information between two nodes. Since the relay receives the interfered signal between two signals sent by two nodes, it hardly decodes any information from received signal. Therefore, the secure wireless communication link to the untrusted relay is constructed. The two nodes optimize the transmit power control for maximizing the secure capacity but these depend on the channel state information informed by the relay station. Therefore, the untrusted relay disguises the informed CSI for exploiting the information from two nodes. This paper constructs the game of two optimizations between the legitimate two nodes and the untrusted relay for clarifying the security of PLNC with untrusted relay.
