this paper, we introduce a secure communication method using complex system. We make a complex system with the n-double scroll or Chua's oscillator. The Complex system is created by applying identical n0double scroll or non-identical n-double scroll and Chua's oscillator with weak soupled method to each cell. In order to secure communication, we have synthesizing the desired information with a complex system circuit by adding the information signal to the hyper-chaos signal. And then, transmitting the synthesized signal to the ideal channel, we confirm secure communication by separating the information signal and the complex system signal in the receiver.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of secure communications in multiple-input-multiple-output interference networks from the perspective of physical layer security. Specifically, the legitimate transmitter-receiver pairs are divided into different categories of active and inactive. To enhance the security performances of active pairs, inactive pairs serve as cooperative jammers and broadcast artificial noises to interfere with the eavesdropper. Besides, active pairs improve their own security by using joint transceivers. The encoding of active pairs and inactive pairs are designed by maximizing the difference of mean-squared errors between active pairs and the eavesdropper. In detail, the transmit precoder matrices of active pairs and inactive pairs are solved according to game theory and linear programming respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has fast convergence speed, and the security performances in different scenarios are effectively improved.

With the development of smart grid technologies, a user can use the secure and reliable power services in smart gird environments. However, the users are not secure against various potential attacks because the smart gird services are provided through the public channel. Therefore, a secure and lightweight authentication and key agreement scheme has become a very important security issue in smart grid in order to guarantee user's privacy. In 2019, Zhang et al. proposed a lightweight authentication scheme for smart gird communications. In this paper, we demonstrate that Zhang et al.'s scheme is vulnerable to impersonation and session key disclosure attacks, and then we propose a secure authentication and key agreement scheme for smart grid environments without tamper-resistant devices. Moreover, we perform the informal security and the BAN logic analysis to prove that our scheme is secure various attacks and provides secure mutual authentication, respectively. We also perform the performance analysis compared with related schemes. Therefore, the proposed scheme is efficiently applicable to practical smart gird environments.

In Multilevel Secure Database Management System(MLS/DBMS), we assume that system has a security clearance level for each user and a classification level for each data item in system and the objective of these systems is to protect secure information from unauthorized user. Many algorithms which have been researched have focus on removing covert channel by modifying conventional lock-based algorithm or timestamp-based algorithm. but there is high-level starvation problem that high level transaction is aborted by low level transaction repeatedly. In order to solve this problem, we propose an algorithm to reduce high-level starvation using dynamic adjustment of serialization order, which is basically using orange lock. Because our algorithm is based on a single version unlike conventional secure algorithms which are performed on multiversion, it can get high degree of concurrency control. we also show that it guarantees the serializability of concurrent execution, and satisfies secure properties of MLS/DBMS.

The Integration of agent technology and security technology is needed to many application areas like electronic commerce. This paper suggests a model of extended multi-agent engine which supports privacy, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation on agent communication. Each agent which is developed with the agent engine is composed of agent engine layer and agent application layer. We describe and use the concepts self-to-self messages, secure communication channel, and distinction of KQML messages in agent application layer and messages in agent engine layer. The suggested agent engine provides an agent communication language which is extended to enable secure communication between agents without any modifications or restrictions to content layer and message layer of KQML. Also, in the model of our multi-agent engine, secure communication is expressed and processed transparently on the agent communication language.

Mobile RFID is a new application that uses a mobile phone as an RFID reader with wireless technology and provides a new valuable service to users by integrating RFID and ubiquitous sensor network infrastructures with mobile communication and wireless Internet. Whereas the mobile RFID system has many advantages, privacy violation problems on the reader side are very concerning to individuals and researchers. Unlike in regular RFID environments, where the communication channel between the server and reader is assumed to be secure, the communication channel between the backend server and the RFID reader in the mobile RFID system is not assumed to be safe. Therefore it has become necessary to devise a new communication protocol that secures the privacy of mobile RFID-enabled devices. Recently, Lo et al. proposed a mutual key agreement protocol that secures the authenticity and privacy of engaged mobile RFID readers by constructing a secure session key between the reader and server. However, this paper shows that this protocol does not meet all of the necessary security requirements. Therefore we developed an enhanced mutual key agreement protocol for mobile RFID-enabled devices that alleviates these concerns. We further show that our protocol can enhance data security and provide privacy protection for the reader in an unsecured mobile RFID environment, even in the presence of an active adversary.

This paper presents a new secure scan design technique to protect secret key from scan-based side channel attack for an Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) core embedded on an System-on-a-Chip(SoC). Our proposed secure scan design technique can be applied to crypto IF core which is optimized for applications without the IP core modification. The IEEE1149.1 standard is kept, and low area and power consumption overheads and high fault coverage can be achieved compared to the existing methods.

FHIR, next-generation standard for health information exchange, allows to exchange health information fast and to provide various health services. In this paper, we propose an indexing scheme of FHIR resources for adopting the resources to wireless data broadcasting with a secure channel. That scheme keeps the information of users to support to download FHIR resources from the secure wireless broadcast channel and the information on the resources. Using the proposed index, massive users can download their desired FHIR resources with less energy in short time. With simulation studies, we show the proposed indexing scheme outperforms other scheme broadcasting FHIR resources.

This paper studies secure wireless transmission from a multi-antenna transmitter to a single-antenna intended receiver overheard by multiple eavesdroppers with considering the imperfect channel state information (CSI) of wiretap channel. To enhance security of communication link, the artificial noise (AN) is generated at transmitter. We first design the robust joint optimal beamforming of secret signal and AN to minimize transmit power with constraints of security quality of service (QoS), i.e., minimum allowable signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at receiver and maximum tolerable SINR at eavesdroppers. The formulated design problem is shown to be nonconvex and we transfer it into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique is used and the approximated method is proved to solve the original problem exactly. To verify the robustness and tightness of proposed beamforming, we also provide a method to calculate the worst-case SINR at eavesdroppers for a designed transmit scheme using semidefinite programming (SDP). Additionally, the secrecy rate maximization is explored for fixed total transmit power. To tackle the nonconvexity of original formulation, we develop an iterative approach employing sequential parametric convex approximation (SPCA). The simulation results illustrate that the proposed robust transmit schemes can effectively improve the transmit performance.
