Summary

During the past two decades, mobile internet technologies have been dramatically growing while leading to a paradigm shift in our life. Despites their revolution, mobile internet technologies open doors to various security threats, which should be addressed to keep mobile Internet environments to be secure and trust. Even worse, the latest technologies (e.g. distributed mobility management, mobile internet of things, 5G and Beyond networks, and so forth) continuously have introduced new security challenges. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to study mobile internet security. The purpose of this special issue is to bring together the academic and industry working on different aspects, exchange ideas, and explore new research directions for addressing the challenges in mobility internet security.

 

It also aims to publish high quality papers, which are closely related to various theories and practical applications in mobility management to highlight the state-of-art research. In spite of focusing on security aspects, this symposium welcomes papers which are related to mobile internet technologies.

    Security Monitoring and Management for the Network Services in the Orchestration of SDN-NFV Environment Using Machine Learning Techniques

    Nasser Alshammari, Shumaila Shahzadi, Saad Awadh Alanazi, Shahid Naseem, Muhammad Anwar, Madallah Alruwaili, Muhammad Rizwan Abid, Omar Alruwaili, Ahmed Alsayat, Fahad Ahmad
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.2, pp. 363-394, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.040721

    Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology promote several benefits to network operators, including reduced maintenance costs, increased network operational performance, simplified network lifecycle, and policies management. Network vulnerabilities try to modify services provided by Network Function Virtualization MANagement and Orchestration (NFV MANO), and malicious attacks in different scenarios disrupt the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) lifecycle management related to network services or individual Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes an anomaly detection mechanism that monitors threats in NFV MANO and manages promptly and adaptively to implement and handle security functions in order… More >

    MBE: A Music Copyright Depository Framework Incorporating Blockchain and Edge Computing

    Jianmao Xiao, Ridong Huang, Jiangyu Wang, Zhean Zhong, Chenyu Liu, Yuanlong Cao, Chuying Ouyang
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.3, pp. 2815-2834, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039716
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advances in Mobile Internet Security)
    Abstract Audio copyright is a crucial issue in the music industry, as it protects the rights and interests of creators and distributors. This paper studies the current situation of digital music copyright certification and proposes a music copyright certification framework based on “blockchain + edge computing mode,” abbreviated as MBE, by integrating edge computing into the Hyperledger Fabric system. MBE framework compresses and splits the audio into small chunks, performs Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to extract the peak points of each frequency and combines them to obtain unique audio fingerprint information. After being confirmed by various nodes on the Fabric alliance… More >

    Detecting Ethereum Ponzi Schemes Through Opcode Context Analysis and Oversampling-Based AdaBoost Algorithm

    Mengxiao Wang, Jing Huang
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.1, pp. 1023-1042, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039569
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advances in Mobile Internet Security)
    Abstract Due to the anonymity of blockchain, frequent security incidents and attacks occur through it, among which the Ponzi scheme smart contract is a classic type of fraud resulting in huge economic losses. Machine learning-based methods are believed to be promising for detecting ethereum Ponzi schemes. However, there are still some flaws in current research, e.g., insufficient feature extraction of Ponzi scheme smart contracts, without considering class imbalance. In addition, there is room for improvement in detection precision. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes an ethereum Ponzi scheme detection scheme through opcode context analysis and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) algorithm.… More >

    A Model Training Method for DDoS Detection Using CTGAN under 5GC Traffic

    Yea-Sul Kim, Ye-Eun Kim, Hwankuk Kim
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.1, pp. 1125-1147, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039550
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advances in Mobile Internet Security)
    Abstract With the commercialization of 5th-generation mobile communications (5G) networks, a large-scale internet of things (IoT) environment is being built. Security is becoming increasingly crucial in 5G network environments due to the growing risk of various distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks across vast IoT devices. Recently, research on automated intrusion detection using machine learning (ML) for 5G environments has been actively conducted. However, 5G traffic has insufficient data due to privacy protection problems and imbalance problems with significantly fewer attack data. If this data is used to train an ML model, it will likely suffer from generalization errors due to… More >
