Abstract Blockchain technology promotes the development of the Internet of medical things (IoMT) from the centralized form to distributed trust mode as blockchain-based Internet of medical things (BIoMT). Although blockchain improves the cross-institution data sharing ability, there still exist the problems of authentication difficulty and privacy leakage. This paper first describes the architecture of the BIoMT system and designs an anonymous authentication model for medical data sharing. This BIoMT system is divided into four layers: perceptual, network, platform, and application. The model integrates an anonymous authentication scheme to guarantee secure data sharing in the network ledger. Utilizing the untampered blockchain ledger… More >

Abstract With the development of sensor technology and wireless communication technology, edge computing has a wider range of applications. The privacy protection of edge computing is of great significance. In the edge computing system, in order to ensure the credibility of the source of terminal data, mobile edge computing (MEC) needs to verify the signature of the terminal node on the data. During the signature process, the computing power of edge devices such as wireless terminals can easily become the bottleneck of system performance. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve efficiency through computational offloading. Therefore, this paper proposes an identity-based… More >

Abstract Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a self-organizing wireless sensor network model, which is extensively used in the existing traffic. Due to the openness of wireless channel and the sensitivity of traffic information, data transmission process in VANET is vulnerable to leakage and attack. Authentication of vehicle identity while protecting vehicle privacy information is an advantageous way to improve the security of VANET. We propose a scheme based on fair blind signature and secret sharing algorithm. In this paper, we prove that the scheme is feasible through security analysis. More >

Abstract Along with the increase of wearable medical device, the privacy leakage problem in the process of transmission between these edge medical devices. The blockchain-enabled Internet of Medical Things (BIoMT) has been developed to reform traditional centralized medical system in recent years. This paper first introduces a data anonymous authentication model to protect user privacy and medical data in BIoMT. Then, a proxy group signature (PGS) scheme has been proposed based on lattice assumption. This scheme can well satisfy the anonymous authentication demand for the proposed model, and provide anti-quantum attack security for BIoMT in the future general quantum computer age.… More >

Abstract The vehicular cloud computing is an emerging technology that changes vehicle communication and underlying traffic management applications. However, cloud computing has disadvantages such as high delay, low privacy and high communication cost, which can not meet the needs of real-time interactive information of Internet of vehicles. Ensuring security and privacy in Internet of Vehicles is also regarded as one of its most important challenges. Therefore, in order to ensure the user information security and improve the real-time of vehicle information interaction, this paper proposes an anonymous authentication scheme based on edge computing. In this scheme, the concept of edge computing… More >

Abstract Vehicle sensor networks (VSN) play an increasingly important part in smart city, due to the interconnectivity of the infrastructure. However similar to other wireless communications, vehicle sensor networks are susceptible to a broad range of attacks. In addition to ensuring security for both data-at-rest and data-in-transit, it is essential to preserve the privacy of data and users in vehicle sensor networks. Many existing authentication schemes for vehicle sensor networks are generally not designed to also preserve the privacy between the user and service provider (e.g., mining user data to provide personalized services without infringing on user privacy). Controllable linkability can… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of IoT (Internet of Things), VANETs (Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks) have become an attractive ad-hoc network that brings convenience into people’s lives. Vehicles can be informed of the position, direction, speed and other real-time information of nearby vehicles to avoid traffic jams and accidents. However, VANET environments could be dangerous in the absence of security protection. Because of the openness and self-organization of VANETs, there are plenty of malicious pathways. To guarantee vehicle security, the research aims to provide an effective VANET security mechanism that can track malicious vehicles as necessary. Therefore, this work focuses on malicious… More >
