The emerging of cloud data sharing can create great values, especially in multi-cloud environments. However, "data island" between different cloud service providers (CSPs) has drawn trust problem in data sharing, causing contradictions with the increasing sharing need of cloud data users. And how to ensure the data value for both data owner and data user before sharing, is another challenge limiting massive data sharing in the multi-cloud environments. To solve the problems above, we propose a Uniform Encoding and Parsing Framework (UEPF) with blockchain to support trustworthy and valuable data sharing. We design namespace-based unique identifier pair to support data description corresponding with data in multi-cloud, and build a blockchain-based data encoding protocol to manage the metadata with identifier pair in the blockchain ledger. To share data in multi-cloud, we build a data parsing protocol with smart contract to query and get the sharing cloud data efficiently. We also build identifier updating protocol to satisfy the dynamicity of data, and data check protocol to ensure the validity of data. Theoretical analysis and experiment results show that UEPF is pretty efficient.

The smart cities are evolving constantly and are responsible for the current transformation of cities and countries into a completely connected network of information and technology This interconnected network of a huge number of smart devices is capable of exchanging complex information and provides tremendous support including enhanced quality of life within urban locations. Unfortunately this set-up is vulnerable to security attacks and requires the widespread ubiquitous network to authorize access through privacy and thus offer security in order to ensure civilian participation in a country. The smart network should benefit the individuals of the country by developing potential strategies to protect the smart cities and their participating entities from the unauthorized attacks. Trustworthy data sharing strategies based on the utilization of advanced technology features via smart communication network could solve some issues of privacy and security. This paper presents the challenges and issues related to protection and highlights the important aspects of securing the smart cities and its components. It also presents the role of cloud security for building a secure smart city.

Web service is giving an equal privilege to all user for sharing their resources. Under this situation, a lot of vulnerability against the various attacks through the Internet is possible, more sophisticated security services are necessary. In this paper, we propose an access control scheme using SPKI (Simple Public Infrastructure). The scheme designates an access control by providing the certificate to users who request a connection for resource sharing and limits the resource usage of information provider according to the access right that is given to their own rights.

IoT applications are quickly spread in many fields. Blockchain methods(BC), defined as a distributed sharing mechanism, offer excellent support for IoT evolution. The BC provides a secure way for communication between IoT devices. However, the IoT environments are threatened by hacker attacks and malicious intrusions. The IoT applications security are faced with three challenges: intrusions and attacks detection, secure communication, and compressed storage information. This paper proposed a system based on double-blockchain to improve the communication transactions' safety and enhance the information compression method for the stored data. Information security is enhanced by using an Ellipse Curve Cryptography(ECC) considered in a double-blockchain case. The data compression is ensured by the Compressed Sensing(CS) method. The conducted experimentation reveals that the proposed method is more accurate in security and storage performance than previous related works.

As the communication technology and mobile devices develop, the need for the efficient and secure remote storage is required. And recently, many companies support cloud storages to meet the requirements of the customers. Especially in the business field where various companies collaborate, data sharing is an essential functionality to enhance their work performance. However, existing researches have not fully satisfied the requirement either efficiency and security. This paper suggests efficient and secure data sharing scheme for cloud storage by using secret sharing scheme. Proposed scheme can be applied to business collaborations and team projects.

A blockchain based platform can ensure data integrity, reliability, and security by applying distributed processing and encryption technology for transaction records. In the existing knowledge sharing platform, the created knowledge could not be shared or utilized sufficiently due to information asymmetry and centralization. However little research has been done so far on this area. In this study, we will examine case studies and development potentials for blockchain based knowledge sharing platforms based on previous studies of blockchain technology, token economy, knowledge sharing, motivation theory, and social exchange theory. Blockchain based platforms can contribute to the activation of knowledge sharing, by resolving information asymmetry, simplifying unnecessary work procedures through unified knowledge sharing flow and excluded centralization of authority by decentralization, and strengthening access and utilization of the knowledge produced by the platform.

The Kad network is a peer-to-peer (P2P) network which implements the Kademlia P2P overlay protocol. Nowadays, the Kad network has attracted wide concern as a popular architecture for file sharing systems. Meanwhile, many problems have been coming out in these file sharing systems such as freeriding of users, uploading fake files, spreading viruses, and so on. In order to overcome these problems, we propose an incentive mechanism based on game theory, it establishes a more stable and efficient network environment for Kad users. Users who share valuable resources receive rewards by increasing their credits, while others who supply useless or harmful files are punished. This incentive mechanism in Kad network can be used to detect and prevent malicious behaviors of users and encourage honest interaction among users.

A novel key sharing fuzzy vault scheme is proposed based on the classic fuzzy vault and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. In this proposed scheme, two users cooperatively build their fuzzy vault for their shared key using their own biometrics. Either of the users can use their own biometrics to unlock the fuzzy vault with the help of the other to get their shared key without risk of disclosure of their biometrics. Thus, they can unlock the fuzzy vault cooperatively. The security of our scheme is based on the security of the classic fuzzy vault scheme, one-way hash function and the discrete logarithm problem in a given finite group.

The proposed zone-based self-organized clustering broadcasts neighbor information to only a zone with the same ID. Besides, the zone-based self-organized clustering with unique IDs can communicate securely even if the state transition of nodes in zone-based self-organized clustering is threatened by corrupted nodes. For this security, the Byzantine agreement protocol with proactive asynchronous verifiable secret sharing (AVSS) is considered. As a result of simulation, an efficiency and a security of the proposed clustering are better than those of a traditional clustering. Therefore, this paper describes a new and extended self-organized clustering that securely seeks to minimize the interference in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).
