Due to the increasing need for data sharing in the age of big data, how to achieve data access control and implement user permission revocation in the blockchain environment becomes an urgent problem. To solve the above problems, we propose a novel blockchain-based data sharing scheme (BDSS) with fine-grained access control and permission revocation in this paper, which regards the medical environment as the application scenario. In this scheme, we separate the public part and private part of the electronic medical record (EMR). Then, we use symmetric searchable encryption (SSE) technology to encrypt these two parts separately, and use attribute-based encryption (ABE) technology to encrypt symmetric keys which used in SSE technology separately. This guarantees better fine-grained access control and makes patients to share data at ease. In addition, we design a mechanism for EMR permission grant and revocation so that hospital can verify attribute set to determine whether to grant and revoke access permission through blockchain, so it is no longer necessary for ciphertext re-encryption and key update. Finally, security analysis, security proof and performance evaluation demonstrate that the proposed scheme is safe and effective in practical applications.

Traditionally SCADA is connected only in a limited private network. With new technology and facilities, there are also demands of connecting SCADA though the internet. The internet SCADA facility has brought a lot of advantages in terms of control, data viewing and generation. Aside from connecting SCADA to the internet, there are also operators who want to connect their system wirelessly. This can save budget for communication lines. Along with the advantages it brings, are security issues regarding wireless internet SCADA. In this paper, we discuss internet SCADA, its connection through wireless communication and the security issues surrounding it. To answer the security issues, a symmetric-key encryption for internet SCADA is proposed.

This paper proposes the hybrid crypto-system for fast video data encryption of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) under the LTE(Long-Term Evolution) wireless communication environment. This hybrid crypto-system is consisted of ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography) public key algorithm and LEA(Light-weight Encryption Algorithm) symmetric key algorithm. ECC is a faster public key algorithm with the same security strength than RSA(Rivest Shamir Adleman), and Korean standard LEA with the same key size is also a faster symmetric key algorithm than AES(Advances Encryption Standard). We have implemented this hybrid crypto-system using OpenSSL, OpenCV and Socket programs under the Swarm 8-UAV. We have shown the efficient adaptability of this hybrid crypto-system for the real-time swarm UAV through the experiments under the LTE communication environment.

This paper describes the design and implementation of the video conferencing system using public key infrastructure which is used for user authentication and encryption. Public key infrastructure reinforces the authentication process for conference participant, and the symmetric key system blocks malicious access to information and protect conference control information. This paper shows the implementation of the trans portation layer secure protocol in conformity with Korea public key authentication algorithm standard and symmetric encryption algorithm (DES, 3DES and AES) for media stream encryption. In this paper, we deal with two ways of protecting information : transportation layer secure protocol secures user authentication process and the conference control information; while public key-based authentication system protects personal information of users when they connect to the network. When distributing the session keys for encryption, Internet Key Exchange is used for P2P communication, and secure protocol is employed for 1 : N multi-user communication in the way of distributing the public key-based en-cryption key.

In order to combat the security threats that sensor networks are exposed to, a cryptography protocol is implemented at sensor nodes for point-to-point encryption between nodes. Given that nodes have limited resources, symmetric cryptography that is proven to be efficient for low power devices is implemented. Data protection is integrated into a sensor's packet by the means of symmetric encryption with the Dragon stream cipher and incorporating the newly designed Dragon-MAC Message Authentication Code. The proposed algorithm was designed to employ some of the data already computed by the underlying Dragon stream cipher for the purpose of minimizing the computational cost of the operations required by the MAC algorithm. In view that Dragon is a word based stream cipher with a fast key stream generation, it is very suitable for a constrained environment. Our protocol regarded the entity authentication and message authentication through the implementation of authenticated encryption scheme in wireless sensor nodes.

This paper mainly presents a secure and efficient e-Medical Record System via searchable encryption scheme from asymmetric pairings, which could provide privacy data search and encrypt function for patients and doctors in public platform. The core technique of this system is an extension public key encryption system with keyword search, which the server could test whether or not the files stored in platform contain the keyword without leaking the information about the encrypted file. Compared with former e-medical record systems, the system proposed here has several superior features: (1)Users could search the data stored in cloud server contains some keywords without leaking anything about the origin data. (2) We apply asymmetric pairings to achieve shorter key size scheme in the standard model, and adopt the dual system encryption technique to reduce the scheme's secure problem to the hard Symmetric External Diffie-Hellman assumption, which could against the variety of attacks in the future complex network environment. (3) In the last of paper, we analyze the scheme's efficiency and point out that our scheme is more efficient and secure than some other classical searchable encryption models.

Lossless encryption methods are more applicable than lossy encryption methods when marginal distortion is not tolerable. In this research, the author propose a novel lossless symmetric key encryption/decryption technique. In the proposed algorithm, the image is transformed into the frequency domain using the lifting wavelet transform, then the image sub-bands are encrypted in a such way that guarantees a secure, reliable, and an unbreakable form. The encryption involves scattering the distinguishable frequency data in the image using a reversible weighting factor amongst the rest of the frequencies. The algorithm is designed to shuffle and reverse the sign of each frequency in the transformed image before the image frequencies are transformed back to the pixel domain. The results show a total deviation in pixel values between the original and encrypted image. The decryption algorithm reverses the encryption process and restores the image to its original form. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using standard security and statistical methods; results show that the proposed work is resistant to most known attacks and more secure than other algorithms in the cryptography domain.

Encryption of digital images has been requested various fields. In the meantime, many algorithms based on a text - based encryption algorithm have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a method of encryption in wavelet transform domain to utilize the characteristics of digital image. In particular, wavelet transform is used to reduce the association between the encrypted image and the original image. Wavelet packet transformations can be decomposed into more subband images than wavelet transform, and various position permutation, numerical transformation, and visual transformation are performed on the coefficients of this subband image. As a result, this paper proposes a method that satisfies the characteristics of high encryption strength than the conventional wavelet transform and reversibility. This method also satisfies the lossless symmetric key encryption and decryption algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is confirmed by visual and quantitative. Experimental results show that the visually encrypted image is seen as a completely different signal from the original image. We also confirmed that the proposed method shows lower values of cross correlation than conventional wavelet transform. And PSNR has a sufficiently high value in terms of decoding performance of the proposed method. In this paper, we also proposed that the degree of correlation of the encrypted image can be controlled by adjusting the number of wavelet transform steps according to the characteristics of the image.
