  • A native code reinforcement framework based on control-flow integrity (CFI), DroidCFI is proposed, to prevent native code of Android applications from core code extraction and malicious injection. This framework can extract the control-flow features of subroutine invocation process by static analysis, provide developers with a visual policy configuration view to set the reinforced points, generate the reinforcement code based on the CFI policy, and integrate the verification module into the target application. Then a CFI check is enforced during the run-time of the application to defend against the malicious attack. Experiments show that DroidCFI can provide secure protection to native code of applications by minimal performance overhead.

  • Abstract ( 394 )     HTML     　　
  • Aiming at the problem of low embedding capacity and poor semantic coherence of text steganography, a text steganographic scheme based on neural image caption is proposed. An encode-decode structure with a combination of long short term memory and convolution neural network is used to model the joint probability distributions between image features and the descriptive sentences. Two methods with different sampling process are designed from the perspectives of sharing and non-sharing models. Experimental results show that the proposed model can achieve high embedding capacity and desirable text quality. This scheme belongs to "carrier-free" steganography and has good security.

  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2018, 41(6): 14-19. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-051
  • Abstract ( 321 )     HTML     　　
  • To ascertain the damper bidirectional ratio effect on the impact dynamic behavior of the human-seat system, the most widely used X-type seat is taken as the research object. Based on the measured data by the damper bench, the damper damping characteristic of the seat is simplified as an asymmetric piecewise linear function. A nonlinear dynamic model for the human-seat was proposed and its equation was created and validated by seat test. Based on the model and the equation, taking a typical pulse with different intensity as inputs, numerical simulations were carried out under different bidirectional ratios. It is shown that when the seat damper bidirectional ratio is larger than 1, it becomes more conducive to attenuate the impact on drivers, and the greater the impact input intensity is, the better the relative isolation effect is.

  • The outage probability in a large-scale cooperative relaying system based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is investigated. A relay-assisted cooperative transmission protocol is proposed in which the relays that can decode the signal from the sources and are located in a relaying area become the potential relays, and are dedicated to assist the information transmission from the sources to the receivers. The outage probability is analyzed and the comparison is made among the direct link, the relay-only link, and the cooperative link.

  • In order to adapt to dynamical channel conditions and improve the transmission reliability, rate-adaptive cooperative relay transmission schemes are investigated under multi-relay selection in combination with incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request and rate-compatible low density parity check code (RC-LDPC). With respect to random and specific distributions of relay nodes, two different multi-relay selection protocols are proposed with deriving the expressions for the outage probability and throughput performances of the system. Both numerical and simulation results show that introducing a cooperation between the relays can significantly improve the system performance in both outage probability and throughput under the considered specific relay distribution.

  • Abstract ( 598 )     HTML     　　
  • Mostly,the charging strategy in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) adopts single mobile charger, but it can't meet the requirements of network scale. The charging strategy of multiple charging vehicles based on K-means improvement periodic energy replenishment based on charging priority (K-PPER) is proposed. Firstly, the network is divided into clusters by adopting the K-means improvement algorithm. Then, the network is recharged in clusters unit. The node with charging request is added to the charging sequence of the belonging cluster. And each charging sequence is sorted by the node's charging priority. At last, the base station sends a mobile charger to the cluster and starts to charge according to the sequence. The experimental results show that the network utility is about 42% higher than K-means. The energy utility of K-PPER algorithm increases about 4% compared with distributed coordination local knowledge (DCLK) protocol, and increases about 18% compared with distributed coordination protocol.

  • In order to solve the problem of personal privacy information disclosure caused by aggressive reasoning of the trajectory data, based on dynamic time warping (DTW) exchange query, a trajectory privacy protection scheme is proposed. Through anonymizing the identities of user and candidates who request location-based service (LBS), and calculating the trajectory similarity between all candidates and the initiator within acertain period of time by using the DTW algorithm, then choosing the candidate with the optimal trajectory similarity to replace real user in requesting LBS, the real user privacy information about identity and location is effectively protected. Security analyses prove that this scheme not only satisfies the security characteristics such as privacy, anonymity, and unforgeability, but also can resist query service tracking attack. Simulation experiments show that the optimal trajectory similarity is significantly improved.

  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2018, 41(6): 129-136. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-056
  • Abstract ( 277 )     HTML     　　
  • We consider the wireless senor network which is equipped with an energy harvesting device and a rechargeable battery, and the aim is to enable the sensor having the ability of adaptively adjusting the data sampling rate according to the available energy. Since the stochastic nature of the harvested energy, we define the energy deficiency probability for equivalently characterizing an information acquisition metric. We formulate the problem of adjusting data sampling rate as a constrained optimization problem, maximizing the data sampling rate while keeping the energy deficiency probability below a threshold. The classic large deviation theory is invoked for estimating the energy deficiency probability. Our experimental results verify that the algorithms proposed have the adaptation capability to accommodate both the energy-dynamics and the channel-dynamics for improving the information acquisition.
