However, it focuses not only on transparency but also on privacy issues. In other words, each ballot should be counted anonymously, correctly, and efficiently. In this work, an effective e-voting system is proposed for voters to minimize their trust in the authority or government. We ensure the transparency of election by putting all messages on the Ethereum blockchain; in the meantime, the privacy of individual voter is protected via an effective ring signature mechanism. Besides, the attractive self-tallying feature is also built in our system, which guarantees that everyone who can access the blockchain network is able to tally the result on his own, i.e., no third party is required after the voting phase. More importantly, we ensure the correctness of voting results and keep the Ethereum gas cost of individual participant as low as possible, at the same time. Moreover, the pre-described characteristics of stealth address in our system makes it more suitable for large-scale election on line.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123192887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this poster, we propose an edge cache-based intelligent content delivery solution to improve network performance in information-centric wireless networks, where a smart router makes caching decisions by analyzing the information of content popularity, users’ mobility and social relation, and its connected access points update cache status of network contents according to the adopted decisions.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128570825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose ICNRL, a novel task-based NRL scheme for ICN. Based on the adjacency matrix generated by NRL, ICNRL can calculate the index threshold value to support the networking decision making of content-store (CS), pending information table (PIT), and forwarding information base (FIB), and therefore improves the management and processing capabilities of ICN.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"15 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113964716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These applications require efficient synchronization among the end points with varying level of loss and delay tolerance. Also application specific requirements like throughput, end-to-end latency and mobility of end points impose even more stringency. IP based solutions often fail to meet these requirements due to lack of efficient multicast. In this paper we study this problem in the context of multi-party video conferencing system, and propose an information-centric solution based on content-centric networking (CCN). CCN, with its innate support for multicast delivery and service centricity, is used to deliver content and control state in a secure and reliable manner. We address the challenge of synchronizing participant states for a real-time experience through a media agnostic notification framework aided by service functions in the CCN network. Then, we implement a proof-of-concept testbed appropriate for this architecture and demonstrate its impact using scalability, QoE and reliability metrics.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131779047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different from traditional TCP/IP networking, any node that caching content can respond to a request for the content. This property makes it convenient that multiple providers deliver different chunks of a content to a requester concurrently, which can offer more reliable network services and better load balancing. However, it may impact quality of service (QoS) because traditional end-to-end QoS control cannot be performed in this scenario. In this paper, a Bandwidth-based QoS-aware Multisource Architecture (BQMA) is proposed for Information-Centric wireless multihop networks, which performs QoS control for multisource routing, forwarding, reservation procedure, and provider selection functions.

This paper proposes a blockchain-inspired event recording system for autonomous vehicles. Due to the inefficiency and limited usage of certain blockchain features designed for the traditional cryptocurrency applications, we design a new “proof of event” mechanism to achieve indisputable accident forensics by ensuring that event information is trustable and verifiable. Specifically, we propose a dynamic federation consensus scheme to verify and confirm the new block of event data in an efficient way without any central authority. The security capability of the proposed scheme is also analyzed against different threat and attack models.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123464001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
