    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 1-16, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.001
    Abstract The aim of information hiding is to embed the secret message in a normal cover media such as image, video, voice or text, and then the secret message is transmitted through the transmission of the cover media. The secret message should not be damaged on the process of the cover media. In order to ensure the invisibility of secret message, complex texture objects should be chosen for embedding information. In this paper, an approach which corresponds multiple steganographic algorithms to complex texture objects was presented for hiding secret message. Firstly, complex texture regions are selected based on a kind of… More >

    Jinhua Cui1,2, Yuanyuan Zhang3, Zhiping Cai1,*, Anfeng Liu4, Yangyang Li5
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 17-35, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.017
    Abstract While smart devices based on ARM processor bring us a lot of convenience, they also become an attractive target of cyber-attacks. The threat is exaggerated as commodity OSes usually have a large code base and suffer from various software vulnerabilities. Nowadays, adversaries prefer to steal sensitive data by leaking the content of display output by a security-sensitive application. A promising solution is to exploit the hardware visualization extensions provided by modern ARM processors to construct a secure display path between the applications and the display device. In this work, we present a scheme named SecDisplay for trusted display service, it… More >

    Verifiable Diversity Ranking Search Over Encrypted Outsourced Data

    Yuling Liu1,*, Hua Peng1, Jie Wang2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 37-57, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.037
    Abstract Data outsourcing has become an important application of cloud computing. Driven by the growing security demands of data outsourcing applications, sensitive data have to be encrypted before outsourcing. Therefore, how to properly encrypt data in a way that the encrypted and remotely stored data can still be queried has become a challenging issue. Searchable encryption scheme is proposed to allow users to search over encrypted data. However, most searchable encryption schemes do not consider search result diversification, resulting in information redundancy. In this paper, a verifiable diversity ranking search scheme over encrypted outsourced data is proposed while preserving privacy in… More >

    Defining Embedding Distortion for Intra Prediction Mode-Based Video Steganography

    Qiankai Nie1, Xuba Xu1, Bingwen Feng1,*, Leo Yu Zhang2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 59-70, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.059
    Abstract In this paper, an effective intra prediction mode-based video strganography is proposed. Secret messages are embedded during the intra prediction of the video encoding without causing large embedding impact. The influence on the sum of absolute difference (SAD) in intra prediction modes (IPMs) reversion phenomenon is sharp when modifying IPMs. It inspires us to take the SAD prediction deviation (SPD) to define the distortion function. What is more, the mapping rule between IPMs and the codewords is introduced to further reduce the SPD values of each intra block. Syndrome-trellis code (STC) is used as the practical embedding implementation. Experimental results… More >

    Localization Algorithm of Indoor Wi-Fi Access Points Based on Signal Strength Relative Relationship and Region Division

    Wenyan Liu1, Xiangyang Luo1,*, Yimin Liu1, Jianqiang Liu2, Minghao Liu1, Yun Q. Shi3
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 71-93, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.071
    Abstract Precise localization techniques for indoor Wi-Fi access points (APs) have important application in the security inspection. However, due to the interference of environment factors such as multipath propagation and NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight), the existing methods for localization indoor Wi-Fi access points based on RSS ranging tend to have lower accuracy as the RSS (Received Signal Strength) is difficult to accurately measure. Therefore, the localization algorithm of indoor Wi-Fi access points based on the signal strength relative relationship and region division is proposed in this paper. The algorithm hierarchically divide the room where the target Wi-Fi AP is located, on the region… More >

    Jieren Cheng1,2, Ruomeng Xu1,*, Xiangyan Tang1, Victor S. Sheng3, Canting Cai1
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 95-119, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.095
    Abstract Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is a rapidly growing problem with the fast development of the Internet. There are multitude DDoS detection approaches, however, three major problems about DDoS attack detection appear in the big data environment. Firstly, to shorten the respond time of the DDoS attack detector; secondly, to reduce the required compute resources; lastly, to achieve a high detection rate with low false alarm rate. In the paper, we propose an abnormal network flow feature sequence prediction approach which could fit to be used as a DDoS attack detector in the big data environment and solve aforementioned problems.

    Adversarial Learning for Distant Supervised Relation Extraction

    Daojian Zeng1,3, Yuan Dai1,3, Feng Li1,3, R. Simon Sherratt2, Jin Wang3,*
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 121-136, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.121
    Abstract Recently, many researchers have concentrated on using neural networks to learn features for Distant Supervised Relation Extraction (DSRE). These approaches generally use a softmax classifier with cross-entropy loss, which inevitably brings the noise of artificial class NA into classification process. To address the shortcoming, the classifier with ranking loss is employed to DSRE. Uniformly randomly selecting a relation or heuristically selecting the highest score among all incorrect relations are two common methods for generating a negative class in the ranking loss function. However, the majority of the generated negative class can be easily discriminated from positive class and will contribute… More >

    Steganography Using Reversible Texture Synthesis Based on Seeded Region Growing and LSB

    Qili Zhou1, Yongbin Qiu1, Li Li1,*, Jianfeng Lu1, Wenqiang Yuan1, Xiaoqing Feng2, Xiaoyang Mao3
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 151-163, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.151
    Abstract Steganography technology has been widely used in data transmission with secret information. However, the existing steganography has the disadvantages of low hidden information capacity, poor visual effect of cover images, and is hard to guarantee security. To solve these problems, steganography using reversible texture synthesis based on seeded region growing and LSB is proposed. Secret information is embedded in the process of synthesizing texture image from the existing natural texture. Firstly, we refine the visual effect. Abnormality of synthetic texture cannot be fully prevented if no approach of controlling visual effect is applied in the process of generating synthetic texture.… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 165-176, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.165
    Abstract Dioxin is a highly toxic and caustic substance, which widely existed in the atmosphere, soil and water with tiny particles. Dioxin pollution has become a major problem that concerns the survival of mankind, which must be strictly controlled. The bond length, bond angle, energy, dipole moment, orbital energy level distribution of dioxin under the external field are investigated using DFT (density functional theory) on basis set level of B3LYP/6-31G (d, p). The results indicate that with the increase of the electric field, the length of one Carbon-Oxygen bond increases while another Carbon-Oxygen bond decreases. The energy gradually decreases with the… More >

    Early Stage of Oxidation on Titanium Surface by Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulation

    Liang Yang1,2, Caizhuang Wang3,*, Shiwei Lin2,*, Yang Cao2, Xiaoheng Liu1
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.55, No.1, pp. 177-188, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2018.055.177
    Abstract Understanding of metal oxidation is very critical to corrosion control, catalysis synthesis, and advanced materials engineering. Metal oxidation is a very complex phenomenon, with many different processes which are coupled and involved from the onset of reaction. In this work, the initial stage of oxidation on titanium surface was investigated in atomic scale by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using a reactive force field (ReaxFF). We show that oxygen transport is the dominant process during the initial oxidation. Our simulation also demonstrate that a compressive stress was generated in the oxide layer which blocked the oxygen transport perpendicular to the Titanium… More >
