This drastically reduces computing and storage costs for users. Considering secure computing for multilevel users in enterprises, the notion of hierarchical identity-based inner product functional encryption (HIB-IPFE) is proposed. In this cryptosystem, a sender can encrypt a vector <span></span><math></math> into a ciphertext with a hierarchical identity, while a receiver who possesses a secret key corresponding to the same hierarchical identity and a vector <span></span><math></math> can decrypt the ciphertext and obtain the inner product <span></span><math></math>. However, HIB-IPFE is not sufficient to capture flexible data sharing and forward security. In this study, we present a notion of hierarchical identity-based puncturable HIBP-IPFE. Furthermore, we present a formal definition and security model of HIBP-IPFE to guarantee data confidentiality and receiver anonymity. Compared with HIB-IPFE, our proposed scheme enables users to puncture keys on specific tags ensuring that the punctured keys cannot be used to decrypt the ciphertexts associated with those tags. The proposed scheme is provably secure under <i>d</i>-DBDHE assumption in the standard model.

Currently, deep learning methods are widely applied in DDoS anomaly traffic detection. However, they often lack the ability to collectively model both local and global traffic features, which presents challenges in improving performance. In order to provide an effective method for detecting abnormal traffic, this paper proposes a novel network architecture called DDoS-MSCT, which combines a multiscale convolutional neural network and transformer. The DDoS-MSCT architecture introduces the DDoS-MSCT block, which consists of a local feature extraction module (LFEM) and a global feature extraction module (GFEM). The LFEM employs convolutional kernels of different sizes, accompanied by dilated convolutions, with the aim of enhancing the receptive field and capturing multiscale features simultaneously. On the other hand, the GFEM is utilized to capture long-range dependencies for attending to global features. Furthermore, with the increase in network depth, DDoS-MSCT facilitates the integration of multiscale local and global contextual information of traffic features, thereby improving detection performance. Our experiments are conducted on the CIC-DDoS2019 dataset, and also the CIC-IDS2017 dataset, which is introduced as a supplement to address the issue of sample imbalance. Experimental results on the hybrid dataset show that DDoS-MSCT achieves accuracy, recall, F1 score, and precision of 99.94%, 99.95%, 99.95%, and 99.97%, respectively. Compared to the state of the art methods, the DDoS-MSCT model achieves a good performance for detecting the DDoS attack to provide the protecting ability for network security.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50380,"journal":{"name":"IET Information Security","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/1056705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142244563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The future of cloud is the “cloud of clouds,” where cloud service providers (CSPs) collaborate with each other to provide ever-scalable solutions to their customers. However, one of the most restricting factors toward the use of the cloud by its consumers is their concerns about data security. Most sensitive to any organization is its data, thus, to give confidence to these organizations to put their data in the cloud requires a trustworthy framework. Therefore, this paper proposes an inter-cloud data security framework, which is a set of controls and a mechanism to measure trust for data sharing based on compliance with the controls. The proposed framework for building inter-cloud trust for data security (FBI-TDS) defines a set of data security controls extracted to cover the possible data-related threats linked with various inter-cloud use cases. As part of FBI-TDS, a mechanism is suggested that would enable CSPs to view compliance with data security controls and the overall trustworthiness of other CSPs. This would enable them to decide the level of interaction that they might undertake, depending upon their data security commitments. A data security compliance monitor service is proposed which measures compliance with data security controls. This service communicates with data trust as a service (DTaaS), which measures the trustworthiness of a CSP based on its total compliance value, users’ feedback rating, and cloud security auditor rating. CSPs who subscribe to DTaaS would be able to view the trustworthiness of other CSPs, yet they would be bound to provide access to the service to measure theirs as well. This new approach to data security in inter-cloud is a mix of data security controls, their measure of compliance, and based on this trust value of a CSP for handling data. The proposed solution thus promotes the cloud of clouds by securing inter-cloud interactions for data-related use cases.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50380,"journal":{"name":"IET Information Security","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/6565102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142100124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have comprehensively sought the longest distinguisher for linear cryptanalysis, zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis, impossible differential attack, and integral attack using the mixed integer linear Programming (MILP) on SLIM, LBC-IoT, and SLA.

To prevent this attack on the cloud data, this manuscript proposes a crypto deep ring topology firewall to protect the cloud from data breaches. The data transmission has been performed using egress ring topology crypto encryption that solves the difficulty in isolating the traffic path between the edge and cloud network. Moreover, during the cloud data retrieval, the data interoperability issue arises due to the improper cloud service level agreement, which is solved using an application programing interface firewall fetch intrusion prevention system used in the secure transmission technique in which the data are entered into the transport and session layer of the firewall and then into the intrusion detection and prevention system thus sieving of data is carried out to solve the amenability violation of the cloud network and eliminate data interoperability issue. The proposed model was implemented in the Python platform and provided an enhanced level of encryption and decryption performance than the existing cloud retrieval model, producing high access speed to the cloud network with data security.
