In the second stage, to allocate switches to controllers, the proposed strategy employs the Green Anaconda Optimization algorithm (GAO) to achieve an optimal allocation while considering network parameters such as average delay, load balancing, and reliability. Finally, to assess the efficacy of the proposed methodology, it is juxtaposed with three extant methods utilizing diverse datasets from the Internet Topology Zoo.

However, they suffer from the problem of balancing imperceptibility and robustness. To address this issue, the impact of conventional attacks on the stability of feature vectors extracted from the cover image is examined. Accordingly, we proposed a zero-watermarking method with high attack resistance for multi-medical images by employing Contourlet transform (CT), Chebyshev–Fourier moments (CHFMs), and fast Fourier transform (FFT). First, each medical image is normalized separately, and the normalized images are fused using a dual-tree complex wavelet transform-based method. Second, the effective region is extracted and subjected to the CT. The CHFMs of the low-frequency sub-bands are calculated, and the FFT is performed on the generated amplitude sequence to construct a feature matrix. A feature image is generated by combining the magnitude of each feature value with the overall mean. Finally, the copyrighted image is encrypted using the Lorenz chaotic system and Fibonacci Q-matrix, after which an exclusive-OR operation is applied between the generated feature image and the encrypted copyrighted image to produce a zero-watermarking signal. The results show that the proposed method exhibits excellent resistance to attack with a normalized correlation coefficient of up to 0.994 between the extracted image and the original copyrighted one. Furthermore, the average anti-attack performance of our proposed method is approximately 2% higher compared to similar existing methods, indicating that our proposed method is highly resistant to conventional, geometric, and combinatorial attacks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50635,"journal":{"name":"Computer Standards & Interfaces","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 104115"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145737266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our innovation centers around a strengthened hashed timelock cross-chain protocol grounded in trusted middlemen. To safeguard the security and confidentiality of middlemen engaged in cross-chain transactions, we introduce an ingenious anonymous identity authentication mechanism. This mechanism empowers middlemen to execute auxiliary cross-chain transactions while concealing their actual identities. Additionally, we propose a behavior-based assessment of middlemen, utilizing distinct indicators to gauge their trustworthiness in each cross-chain transaction. We introduce both current and historical trust values, providing insights into middlemen's real-time reliability and long-term stability. This approach effectively thwarts attempts by malicious middlemen to manipulate trust values, mitigating security vulnerabilities in cross-chain transactions. Furthermore, by clearing redundant blocks, we not only decrease storage consumption but also facilitate the storage of a substantial amount of identity data and trust data of middlemen. Rigorous security analysis demonstrates our scheme's alignment with foundational security requirements and resilience against common attacks.

With the growing complexity of network environments, deep learning models have emerged as a compelling solution due to their ability to automatically learn discriminative representations from raw traffic. However, these models are highly vulnerable to adversarial examples, which can significantly degrade their performance by introducing imperceptible perturbations. While adversarial training (AT) has emerged as a primary defense, it often suffers from label noise, particularly when hard labels are forcibly assigned to adversarial examples whose true class may be ambiguous. In this work, we first analyze the detrimental effect of label noise on adversarial training, revealing that forcing hard labels onto adversarial examples can cause excessive shifts of the decision boundary away from the adversarial examples, which in turn degrades the model’s generalization. Motivated by the theoretical analysis, we propose Dynamic Label Adversarial Training (DLAT), a novel AT framework that mitigates label noise via dynamically mixed soft labels. DLAT interpolates the logits of clean and adversarial examples to estimate the labels of boundary-adjacent examples, which are then used as soft labels for adversarial examples. By adaptively aligning the decision boundary toward the vicinity of adversarial examples, the framework constrains unnecessary boundary shifts and alleviates generalization degradation caused by label noise. Extensive evaluations on network traffic classification benchmarks validate the effectiveness of DLAT in outperforming standard adversarial training and its variants in both robustness and generalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50635,"journal":{"name":"Computer Standards & Interfaces","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 104111"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145790411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, based on different cryptographic public-key systems (CPKSs), many signcryption schemes have been proposed, but they are applied to a single CPKS. When an original CPKS is upgraded to another new CPKS, all associated cryptographic mechanisms must be rewritten to ensure that all users (i.e., original, upgraded and new users) can operate all functionalities normally in such heterogeneous CPKSs. However, the existing signcryption schemes lack the heterogeneously compatible property that makes them unsuitable for heterogeneous CPKSs.

Security theorems are formally proven that the LHSC-SGC scheme possesses both unforgeability and confidentiality for data transmission.
