    2017, 17 (4):  1-8.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.001
    Abstract ( 646 )   HTML ( 14 )   PDF (2489KB) ( 403 )  

    In the model of the semi-honest and curious server, in order to achieve the purpose of fast retrieval of ciphertext and verification of server behaviors by constructing the secure inverted index and the authentication data structure, this paper proposes a verifiable ciphertext retrieval scheme based on Merkle Hash tree. The scheme uses the Lucene search engine toolkit to improve the traditional plaintext index structure to get the secure inverted index which is suitable for the ciphertext retrieval, which ensures the efficiency and security of retrieval. In addition, this paper implements the verification of the completeness and correctness of the retrieval results based on Merkle Hash tree structure. Experimental analysis shows that this scheme not only satisfies the user's efficient retrieval requirement on outsourced private data and data security requirement, but also can accurately and efficiently verify the illegal acts of tampering, deletion, forgery and others that exist on cloud server.

    Abstract ( 1346 )   HTML ( 25 )   PDF (1892KB) ( 779 )  

    We implement a TLS browser which support commercial cryptographic algorithms on Windows platform. A CCA (commercial cryptographic algorithms) library is developed using Windows system interface CryptoAPI: Next Generation. Due to the CCA library, Windows 10 can support the commercial cryptographic algorithms and certificate. Secondly. Using the CCA library and the TLS 1.2 protocol which is modified to add the support of the commercial cryptographic algorithms, the open source browser Chromium is modified to support the commercial cryptographic algorithms. The experiment results show that the implemented TLS browser not only support the HTTPS access based on the commercial cryptographic algorithms, support digital certificates based on commercial cryptographic algorithm, keep similar performance with international cryptographic algorithms, but also keep all the original browser owned features.

    A Contract Signing Protocol Based on the Convertible Undeniable Signature
    Shanjun YANG, Changjin JIANG
    2017, 17 (4):  34-39.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.005
    Abstract ( 538 )   HTML ( 2 )   PDF (1011KB) ( 141 )  

    A fair contract signing protocol allows two potentially mistrusted parties to exchange their digital signatures over the Internet in a fair way, so that after the execution of the protocol, either each of them can get the effective signature of the other’s signature or neither party does. Most of the traditional fair electronic contract signing protocols introduce the trusted third party, and these protocols rely on the reliability of third parties to ensure the fairness, however one of the shortcomings of this type of protocol is that if the third party is dishonest and collusion with one of the parties concerned with the protocol, it will be unfair to the other party. In order to reduce the reliance on trusted third parties, this paper designs a new fair electronic contract signing protocol by using the convertible non-repudiation signature algorithm and the public verifiable secret sharing principle. The protocol not only satisfies the property of abuse-freeness, but also reduces the requirement of trustworthiness to the offline third party by introducing the distributed semi-trusted third party, which makes the contract signing protocol have better fairness.

    Shuo WANG, Xiangguo CHENG, Yameng CHEN, Yue WANG
    2017, 17 (4):  40-45.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.006
    Abstract ( 494 )   HTML ( 2 )   PDF (1193KB) ( 188 )  

    In the cryptographic system, the security of the key determines the security of the whole system. In order to reduce the loss of key disclosure in group signature, this paper proposes a key-isolated group signature scheme by combining the technology of key isolation with group signature. The scheme not only satisfies the security properties of group signature, such as anonymity and traceability, but also greatly reduces the harm caused by key disclosure. Key isolation technology makes the key disclosure on the current time period does not affect the signature before and after the current time period, and supports parallel message updating. The key disclosure of a single helper does not harm the initial key of the helper, thus ensuring the security of the signature. The Scheme is based on the CDH difficult problem, and the security can be proved under the random oracle model.

    Shunan SONG, Zhen YANG
    2017, 17 (4):  46-52.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.007
    Abstract ( 642 )   HTML ( 4 )   PDF (1305KB) ( 292 )  

    In the existing PHY key extraction method based on wireless radio channel characteristics, the measurements which near to a threshold are likely to be quantized to the sides of the threshold in high probability at two legitimate nodes, resulting in bit disagreement in generated secret key. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive channel quantization with guard-band (ACQG) method, which can reduce the bit disagreement rate in generated secret key by adaptively modifying the measurements which located in the guard-band. In order to further improve the bit agreement in generated key, this paper proposes a modified adaptive channel quantization (MACQ) method based on ACQG. Simulation results show that, compared with the traditional key extraction algorithm, the proposed methods can improve the rate of key extraction and bit agreement in generated key effectively.

    2017, 17 (4):  53-60.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.008
    Abstract ( 849 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1388KB) ( 779 )  

    Cryptography is the core technology of information security. Password system security depends on the key, and manage key is a big problem. The key agreement technology can be used to achieve the task of key distribution, and to ensure the safety of users to establish a shared key. At present, the security design of the key agreement technology is mostly based on the discrete logarithm problem in a finite field. The problem has a mature attack method on the quantum computer. Before the quantum computer is successfully developed, it needs to explore the key that can resist the quantum attack exchange technology. The weakness of the classical public key cryptosystem is becoming more and more prominent in the face of the rapid development of quantum technology. This paper analyzes the security of RSA algorithm, and introduces the method and principle of typical quantum algorithm to attack the classical public key cryptography algorithm. At the same time, this paper summarizes the characteristics of mature quantum computing attack, and points out the necessity of finding the resistance to quantum attack and the requirement of the public key cryptography to resist the quantum attack. This paper proposes a more random and an improved key exchange protocol algorithm. At last, this paper analyses the advantages of the algorithm from design security and implementation efficiency.

    2017, 17 (4):  61-70.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.009
    Abstract ( 498 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF (1642KB) ( 258 )  

    Due to the fact that existing resource-oriented fault location methods were not suitable in cyberspace, where resources and missions were coupled tightly, a mission-oriented fault location model was presented. Firstly, with the application of hypergraph theory, a mission-resource model was built to portray complex relationships between resources and missions. This model establishedthe foundation for the further study of fault location problem in cyberspace. Furthermore, according to the logic of the propagation of fault in cyberspace, a function describing the effect of resource fault on mission performance was derived. Then we proposeda segment location algorithm to locate task faults based on mission faults; and then proposed an iteration method and a collaboration method to locate resource faults based on task faults. Based on these, we constructed the mission-oriented fault location model in cyberspace. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the presented model through analyzing atypical fault location case in the military field.

    Nianhua KANG, Mingzhi CHEN, Yingyan FENG, Chuanbao LIU
    2017, 17 (4):  71-77.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2017.04.010
    Abstract ( 641 )   HTML ( 2 )   PDF (1658KB) ( 276 )  

    The browser fingerprinting technique builds a unique browser fingerprinting through the combination of user User-Agent, browser version, plug-ins list, OS and other features. This technique is commonly employed to user tracking, authentication and other aspects. However, with the deepening of the research, the method of interfering with the browser fingerprinting generation has been proposed. The fingerprinting interference tool can affect the generation of the fingerprinting by forging the information and limiting the functions. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an anti-interference browser fingerprinting generation algorithm based on implicitly acquiring features. Firstly, the features are collected to construct the database of fingerprinting features. Then, the obtained features are encrypted by SHA 1 algorithm. Finally, the encrypted features are encoded by base 64 method to generate the fingerprinting. Even in the case of using interference tools, the generated fingerprinting result will not be affected. Experimental result shows that the algorithm is effective and accurate.

    Abstract ( 742 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1376KB) ( 284 )  

    This paper is dedicated to design a brand new information security risk assessment model, aka AF-RA model, based on AHP analysis algorithm utilized in risk assessment system and methods from fussy mathematics under the specific application condition of electricity power system, to address the problems of relatively low accuracy, low efficiency and inadequate optimization of information risk assessment mechanism in classical electricity power system. This model will be explained and analyzed in depth in this paper. In this model, the probability of the system vulnerabilities being exploited is estimated through a hierarchical structure of vulnerabilities assessment subsystem, and then a threatening level mark is given from the expertise. The security value of primal points is calculated according to risk level of the asset, threatening and vulnerability and the overall risk of the subject under assessment can be concluded based on this calculation result and synthesized risk parameters. At the output side of this model, security measures to eliminate the vulnerability of correlated systems can be arranged according to the security risk level concluded and the measures is prioritized by the significance of the total data information and core asset security, in accordance of the specific characteristics of electricity power system security.
