S.No Title Domain
1 Efficient R-Tree Based Indexing Scheme for
Server-Centric Cloud Storage System
Cloud storage system poses new challenges to the
community to support efficient concurrent querying tasks
for various data-intensive applications, where indices
always hold important positions. A practical method to
construct a two-layer indexing scheme for multi-
dimensional data in diverse server-centric cloud storage
system is proposed. RT-HCN, an indexing scheme
integrating R-tree based indexing structure and HCN-
based routing protocol is proposed. RT-HCN organizes
storage and compute nodes into an HCN overlay, one of the
newly proposed sever-centric data center topologies. Based
on the properties of HCN, we design a specific index
mapping technique to maintain layered global indices and
corresponding query processing algorithms to support
efficient query tasks.
2 Probabilistic Static Load-Balancing of Parallel
Mining of Frequent Sequences
Frequent sequence mining is well known and well studied
problem in datamining. The output of the algorithm is used
in many other areas like bioinformatics, chemistry, and
market basket analysis. Unfortunately, the frequent
sequence mining is computationally quite expensive. A
novel parallel algorithm for mining of frequent sequences
based on a static load-balancing. The static load-balancing
is done by measuring the computational time using a

probabilistic algorithm. For reasonable size of instance, the
algorithms achieve speedups. In the experimental
evaluation, we show that our method performs
significantly better then the current state-of-the-art
methods. The presented approach is very universal: it can
be used for static load-balancing of other pattern mining
algorithms such as itemset/tree/graph mining algorithms.
3 RSkNN: kNN Search on Road Networks by
Incorporating Social Influence
Although k NN search on a road network finding k nearest
objects to a query user, has been extensively studied,
existing works neglected the fact that the q 's social
information can play an important role in this k NN query.
Many real-world applications, such as location-based
social networking services, require such a query. A new
problem is studied: k NN search on road networks by
incorporating social influence (RSkNN). Specifically, the
state-of-the-art Independent Cascade (IC) model in social
network is applied to define social influence. One critical
challenge of the problem is to speed up the computation of
the social influence over large road and social networks. To
address this challenge, three efficient index-based search
algorithms is proposed, i.e., road network-based (RN-
based), social network-based (SN-based), and hybrid
indexing algorithms.
4 Exploit Every Bit: Effective Caching for High-
Dimensional Nearest Neighbor Search
High-dimensional k nearest neighbor (kNN) search has a
wide range of applications in multimedia information
retrieval. Existing disk-based k NN search methods incur

significant I/O costs in the candidate refinement phase.
Cache compact approximate representations is proposed
for data points in main memory in order to reduce the
candidate refinement time during k NN search. This
problem raises two challenging issues: (i) which is the most
effective encoding scheme for data points to support k NN
search and (ii) what is the optimal number of bits for
encoding a data point. This approach is generic and
applicable to exact / approximate k NN search methods.
5 Efficient and Exact Local Search for Random Walk
Based Top-K Proximity Query in Large Graphs
Top- k proximity query in large graphs is a fundamental
problem with a wide range of applications. Various random
walk based measures have been proposed to measure the
proximity between different nodes. Although these
measures are effective, efficiently computing them on large
graphs is a challenging task. An efficient and exact local
search method is developed, FLoS (Fast Local Search), for
top- k proximity query in large graphs. FLoS guarantees
the exactness of the solution. Moreover, it can be applied
to a variety of commonly used proximity measures. FLoS is
based on the no local optimum property of proximity
measures. We show that many measures have no local
optimum. Utilizing this property, we introduce several
operations to manipulate transition probabilities and
develop tight lower and upper bounds on the proximity
values. The lower and upper bounds monotonically
converge to the exact proximity value when more nodes are
visited.

6 Enabling Fine-Grained Multi-Keyword Search
Supporting Classified Sub-Dictionaries over
Encrypted Cloud Data
Using cloud computing, individuals can store their data on
remote servers and allow data access to public users
through the cloud servers. As the outsourced data are
likely to contain sensitive privacy information, they are
typically encrypted before uploaded to the cloud. This,
however, significantly limits the usability of outsourced
data due to the difficulty of searching over the encrypted
data. This issue handled by developing the fine-grained
multi-keyword search schemes over encrypted cloud data.
The relevance scores and preference factors upon
keywords which enable the precise keyword search and
personalized user experience. Second, a practical and very
efficient multi-keyword search scheme is developed. The
proposed scheme can support complicated logic search the
mixed “AND”, “OR” and “NO” operations of keywords.
Third, further employ the classified sub-dictionaries
technique to achieve better efficiency on index building,
trapdoor generating and query.
7 Group Key Agreement with Local Connectivity
A group key agreement problem is studied where a user is
only aware of his neighbors while the connectivity graph is
arbitrary. There is no centralized initialization for users. A
group key agreement with these features is very suitable
for social networks. Under our setting, we construct two
efficient protocols with passive security. We obtain lower
bounds on the round complexity for this type of protocol,
which demonstrates that our constructions are round

efficient. Finally, we construct an actively secure protocol
from a passively secure one.
8 PROVEST: Provenance-based Trust Model for
Delay Tolerant Networks
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are often encountered in
military network environments where end-to-end
connectivity is not guaranteed due to frequent
disconnection or delay. A provenance-based trust
framework is proposed, namely PROVEST (PROVEnance-
baSed Trust model) that aims to achieve accurate peer-to-
peer trust assessment and maximize the delivery of correct
messages received by destination nodes while minimizing
message delay and communication cost under resource-
constrained network environments. Provenance refers to
the history of ownership of a valued object or information.
The interdependency between trustworthiness of
information source and information itself in PROVEST.
PROVEST takes a data-driven approach to reduce resource
consumption in the presence of selfish or malicious nodes
while estimating a node’s trust dynamically in response to
changes in the environmental and node conditions.
2016
based P2P networks
More and more users are attracted by P2P networks
characterized by decentralization, autonomy and
anonymity. However, users’ unconstrained behavior
makes it necessary to use a trust model when establishing
trust relationships between peers. Most existing trust
models are based on recommendations, which, however,
suffer from the shortcomings of slow convergence and high
2016

complexity of trust computations, as well as huge overhead
of network traffic. Inspired by the establishment of trust
relationships in human society, a guarantee-based trust
model, GeTrust, is proposed for Chord-based P2P
networks. A service peer needs to choose its guarantee
peer(s) for the service it is going to provide, and they are
both required to pledge reputation mortgages for the
service. The request peer makes evaluations on all the
candidates of service peer by referring their service
reputations and their guarantee peers’ reputations, and
selects the one with highest evaluation to be its service
provider. In order to enhance GeTrust’s availability and
prevent malicious behavior, incentive mechanism and
anonymous reputation management strategy is proposed.
Relay assignment significantly affects the performance of
the cooperative communication, which is an emerging
technology for the future mobile system. Previous studies
in this area have mostly focused on assigning a dedicated
relay to each source-destination pair for one-to-one (121)
traffic. However, many-to-one (M21) traffic, which is also
common in many situations (for example, several users
associate with one access point in a wireless access
network such as a WLAN), hasn't been well studied. Shared
relay assignment (SRA) problem is studied for M21 traffic.
Two new optimization problems are studied: one is to
maximize the minimum throughput among all the sources
(hereafter called M21-SRA-MMT), and the other is to
maximize the total throughput over all the sources while
2016

maintaining some degree of fairness (hereafter called M21-
SRA-MTT).
11 Optimizing Video Request Routing in Mobile
Networks with Built-in Content Caching
Built-in content caching in mobile core networks can help
improve quality of service, reduce operation expenses, simplify
inter-network cooperation, and thus is a promising approach for
more efficient networking architectures. In addition to the
complexity of content placement as revealed in the literature,
routing video requests remains a challenging issue. Two
problems must be addressed: (i) how to distribute video requests
among multiple internal servers (i.e., server selection); and (ii)
how to route so-generated video flows (i.e., flow routing). In this
work, we jointly formulate these two problems with two traffic-
engineering objectives considered, namely, minimizing
maximum link utilization and minimizing total link cost. Fast
algorithm is developed to solve the problems with provable
approximation guarantees. A hop-by-hop routing protocol is
proposed, which implements the optimization solutions by
generating a set of flow-splitting and routing decisions for each
router/caching node.
Mobile Computing, July
2016
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are resource constrained.
Energy is one of the most important resources in such networks.
Therefore, optimal use of energy is necessary. A novel energy-
efficient routing protocol for WSNs is proposed. The protocol is
reliable in terms of data delivery at the base station (BS).
Considered mobility in sensor nodes and in the BS. The proposed
protocol is hierarchical and cluster based. Each cluster consists
of one cluster head (CH) node, two deputy CH nodes, and some
ordinary sensor nodes. The reclustering time and energy
requirements have been minimized by introducing the concept
System Journal, Jun 2016

of CH panel. At the initial stage of the protocol, the BS selects a
set of probable CH nodes and forms the CH panel. Considering
the reliability aspect of the protocol, it puts best effort to ensure
a specified throughput level at the BS. Depending on the topology
of the network, the data transmission from the CH node to the
BS is carried out either directly or in multihop fashion. Moreover,
alternate paths are used for data transmission between a CH
node and the BS.
13 Distributed Resource Management for Cognitive
Ad Hoc Networks With Cooperative Relays
It is well known that the data transport capacity of a
wireless network can be increased by leveraging the spatial
and frequency diversity of the wireless transmission
medium. This has motivated the recent surge of research
in cooperative and dynamic-spectrum-access (which we
also refer to as cognitive spectrum access) networks. Still,
as of today, a key open research challenge is to design
distributed control strategies to dynamically jointly assign:
1) portions of the spectrum and 2) cooperative relays to
different traffic sessions to maximize the resulting
network-wide data rate. In this paper, we make a
significant contribution in this direction. First, we
mathematically formulate the problem of joint spectrum
management and relay selection for a set of sessions
concurrently utilizing an interference-limited
infrastructure-less wireless network. We then study
distributed solutions to this (nonlinear and nonconvex)
problem. The overall problem is separated into two
subproblems: 1) spectrum management through power
allocation with given relay selection strategy; and 2) relay
selection for a given spectral profile. Distributed solutions
for each of the two subproblems are proposed, which are
Networking, June 2016

then analyzed based on notions from variational inequality
(VI) theory.
14 EPLQ: Efficient Privacy-Preserving Location-Based
Query Over Outsourced Encrypted Data
With the pervasiveness of smart phones, location-based
services (LBS) have received considerable attention and
become more popular and vital recently. However, the use
of LBS also poses a potential threat to user's location
privacy. Spatial range query, a popular LBS providing
information about points of interest (POIs) is used within a
given distance, an efficient and privacy-preserving
location-based query solution is proposed, called EPLQ.
Specifically, to achieve privacy-preserving spatial range
query, the first predicate-only encryption scheme for inner
product range (IPRE), which can be used to detect whether
a position is within a given circular area in a privacy-
preserving way. To reduce query latency, we further design
a privacy-preserving tree index structure in EPLQ. Detailed
security analysis confirms the security properties of EPLQ.

15 Optimizing Cloud-Based Video Crowdsensing
Wearable and mobile devices are widely used for
crowdsensing, as they come with many sensors and are
carried everywhere. Among the sensing data, videos
annotated with temporal-spatial metadata contain huge
amount of information, but consume too much precious
storage space. The problem of optimizing cloud-based
video crowdsensing in three steps is studied. First, we
study the optimal transcoding problem on wearable and
mobile cameras. An algorithm to optimally select the
coding parameters is proposed to fit more videos at higher
quality on wearable and mobile cameras. Investigate the
IOT Journal, June 2016

throughput of different file transfer protocols from
wearable and mobile devices to cloud servers. A real-time
algorithm is proposed to select the best protocol under
diverse network conditions, so as to leverage the
intermittent WiFi access.
16 BLITHE: Behavior Rule Based Insider Threat
Detection for Smart Grid
A behavior rule-based methodology is proposed for insider
threat (BLITHE) detection of data monitor devices in smart
grid, where the continuity and accuracy of operations are
of vital importance. Based on the dc power flow model and
state estimation model, three behavior rules are extracted
to depict the behavior norms of each device, such that a
device (trustee) that is being monitored on its behavior can
be easily checked on the deviation from the behavior
specification. Specifically, a rule-weight and compliance-
distance-based grading strategy is designed, which greatly
improves the effectiveness of the traditional grading
strategy for evaluation of trustees. The statistical property,
i.e., the mathematical expectation of compliance degree of
each trustee, is particularly analyzed from both theoretical
and practical perspectives, which achieves satisfactory
tradeoff between detection accuracy and false alarms to
detect more sophisticated and hidden attackers.

17 Privacy-Preserving Ride Sharing Scheme for
Autonomous Vehicles in Big Data Era
Ride sharing can reduce the number of vehicles in the
streets by increasing the occupancy of vehicles, which can
facilitate traffic and reduce crashes and the number of
needed parking slots. Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) can
2016

make ride sharing convenient, popular, and also necessary
because of the elimination of the driver effort and the
expected high cost of the vehicles. However, the
organization of ride sharing requires the users to disclose
sensitive detailed information not only on the pick-
up/drop-off locations but also on the trip time and route.
A scheme to organize ride sharing is proposed and address
the unique privacy issues. This scheme uses a similarity
measurement technique over encrypted data to preserve
the privacy of trip data. The ride sharing region is divided
into cells and each cell is represented by one bit in a binary
vector. Each user should represent trip data as binary
vectors and submit the encryptions of the vectors to a
server. The server can measure the similarity of the users’
trip data and find users who can share rides without
knowing the data.
18 Robust Relay Selection for Large-Scale Energy-
Harvesting IoT Networks
Relay selection problem is considered in largescale energy-
harvesting (EH) networks. It is known that if channel state
information (CSI) is available at EH relays, a diversity order
equal to the number of relays can be obtained, however at
the penalty of a feedback overhead (necessary to obtain
accurate CSI) which is not suitable for energy-limited
devices intended e:g: for internet-of-things (IoT)
applications. Therefore propose a new EH relay selection
scheme which is based on the residual energy at each
relay’s battery, and on information on the distribution of
the channels between relays and the destination. The
method thus minimizes both the outage probability and
the feedback cost. Where previous work relay selection
based on channel distribution information (CDI) consider
2016

only small-scale fading distribution, employ a stochastic
geometry approach to consider jointly the geometrical
distribution (i:e:, large-scale fading) and small-scale fading
yielding a simple relay selection criterion that furthermore
utilizes only rough information on the relay’s location, i:e:,
an ordinal number from the destination.
19 A Secure and Efficient ID-Based Aggregate
Signature Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
Affording secure and efficient big data aggregation
methods is very attractive in the field of wireless sensor
networks research. In real settings, the wireless sensor
networks have been broadly applied, such as target
tracking and environment remote monitoring. However,
data can be easily compromised by a vast of attacks, such
as data interception and data tampering, etc. Mainly focus
on data integrity protection, give an identity-based
aggregate signature scheme with a designated verifier for
wireless sensor networks. According to the advantage of
aggregate signatures, our scheme not only can keep data
integrity, but also can reduce bandwidth and storage cost
for wireless sensor networks. Furthermore, the security of
our identity-based aggregate signature scheme is
rigorously presented based on the computational Diffie-
Hellman assumption in random oracle model.

20 Security, Privacy & Incentive Provision for Mobile
Crowd Sensing Systems
Recent advances in sensing, computing, and networking
have paved the way for the emerging paradigm of Mobile
Crowd Sensing (MCS). The openness of such systems and
the richness of data MCS users are expected to contribute
2016

to them raise significant concerns for their security,
privacy preservation and resilience. Prior works addressed
different aspects of the problem. But in order to reap the
benefits of this new sensing paradigm, we need a holistic
solution. That is, a secure and accountable MCS system
that preserves user privacy, and enables the provision of
incentives to the participants. At the same time, we are
after a MCS architecture that is resilient to abusive users
and guarantees privacy protection even against multiple
misbehaving and intelligent MCS entities (servers).
21 Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images With
Distributed Source Encoding
A novel scheme of reversible data hiding in encrypted
images using distributed source coding. After the original
image is encrypted by the content owner using a stream
cipher, the data-hider compresses a series of selected bits
taken from the encrypted image to make room for the
secret data. The selected bit series is Slepian-Wolf encoded
using low-density parity check codes. On the receiver side,
the secret bits can be extracted if the image receiver has
the embedding key only. In case the receiver has the
encryption key only, he/she can recover the original image
approximately with high quality using an image estimation
algorithm. If the receiver has both the embedding and
encryption keys, he/she can extract the secret data and
perfectly recover the original image using the distributed
source decoding.

1 FiDoop: Parallel Mining of Frequent Itemsets
Using MapReduce
Existing parallel mining algorithms for frequent
itemsets lack a mechanism that enables automatic
parallelization, load balancing, data distribution, and
fault tolerance on large clusters. As a solution to this
problem, we design a parallel frequent itemsets mining
algorithm called FiDoop using the MapReduce
programming model. To achieve compressed storage
and avoid building conditional pattern bases, FiDoop
incorporates the frequent items ultrametric tree, rather
than conventional FP trees. In FiDoop, three
MapReduce jobs are implemented to complete the
mining task. In the crucial third MapReduce job, the
mappers independently decompose itemsets, the
reducers perform combination operations by
constructing small ultrametric trees, and the actual
mining of these trees separately. We implement FiDoop
on our in-house Hadoop cluster. We show that FiDoop
on the cluster is sensitive to data distribution and
dimensions, because itemsets with different lengths
have different decomposition and construction costs.

Big Data for Cloud-assisted Mobile
Crowdsourcing
The ubiquity of smartphones makes the mobile

crowdsource data from the workers by using their
sensor-rich mobile devices. However, data collection,
data aggregation, and data analysis have become
challenging problems for a resource constrained
requester when data volume is extremely large, i.e., big
data. In particular to data analysis, set operations,
including intersection, union, and complementation,
exist in most big data analysis for filtering redundant
data and preprocessing raw data. Facing challenges in
terms of limited computation and storage resources,
cloud-assisted approaches may serve as a promising
way to tackle big data analysis issue. However, workers
may not be willing to participate if the privacy of their
sensing data and identity are not well preserved in the
untrusted cloud.
3 A Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing Framework
for Smart Grid
Distributed energy resources, featured with small scale
power generation technologies and renewable energy
sources, are considered as necessary supplements for smart
grid. To ensure that merged resources contribute effectively
to the grid, data generated by consumer side should be
shared among the energy resources. However, it also
introduces challenges of the protection of consumer privacy.
To address these difficulties, a new framework is proposed to
share data in smart grid by leveraging new advances in
homomorphic encryption and proxy re-encryption. Proposed
framework allows energy resources to analyze consumer
data while ensuring consumer privacy. An additional benefit
of our proposed framework is that consumer data is
transmitted over the smart grid only once.

1 2FLIP: A Two-Factor Lightweight Privacy-Preserving
Authentication Scheme for VANET
Authentication in a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) requires not
only secure and efficient authentication with privacy preservation
but applicable flexibility to handle complicated transportation
circumstances as well. In this paper, we proposed a Two-Factor
LIghtweight Privacy-preserving authentication scheme (2FLIP) to
enhance the security of VANET communication. 2FLIP employs the
decentralized certificate authority (CA) and the biological-password-
based two-factor authentication (2FA) to achieve the goals. Based
on the decentralized CA, 2FLIP only requires several extremely
lightweight hashing processes and a fast message-authentication-
code operation for message signing and verification between
vehicles. Furthermore, any certificate revocation list (CRL)-related
overhead on vehicles is avoided. 2FLIP makes the scheme resilient
to denial-of-service attack in both computation and memory, which
is caused by either deliberate invading behaviors or jammed traffic
scenes. The proposed scheme provides strong privacy preservation
that the adversaries can never succeed in tracing any vehicles, even
with all RSUs compromised.

2 Shared Relay Assignment (SRA) for Many-to-One Traffic in
Cooperative Networks
Relay assignment significantly affects the performance of the
cooperative communication, which is an emerging technology for
the future mobile system. Previous studies in this area have mostly
focused on assigning a dedicated relay to each source-destination
pair for one-to-one traffic. However, many-to-one (M21) traffic,
which is also common in many situations, hasn't been well studied.
This paper addresses the shared relay assignment (SRA) problem
for M21 traffic. Optimization problems studied: one is to maximize
2016

the minimum throughput among all the sources (hereafter called
M21-SRA-MMT), and the other is to maximize the total throughput
over all the sources while maintaining some degree of fairness
(hereafter called M21-SRA-MTT). As the optimal solutions to the two
problems are hard to find, we propose two approximation
algorithms whose performance factors are 5.828 and 3,
respectively, based on the rounding mechanism.
3 Mitigating Denial of Service Attacks in OLSR
Protocol Using Fictitious Nodes
With the main focus of research in routing protocols for Mobile Ad-
Hoc Networks (MANET) geared towards routing efficiency, the
resulting protocols tend to be vulnerable to various attacks. Over
the years, emphasis has also been placed on improving the security
of these networks. Different solutions have been proposed for
different types of attacks, however, these solutions often
compromise routing efficiency or network overload. One major DOS
attack against the Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR)
known as the node isolation attack occurs when topological
knowledge of the network is exploited by an attacker who is able to
isolate the victim from the rest of the network and subsequently
deny communication services to the victim. A novel solution is
proposed to defend the OLSR protocol from node isolation attack by
employing the same tactics used by the attack itself.

4 Detecting Colluding Blackhole and Greyhole Attacks
in Delay Tolerant Networks
Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is developed to cope with intermittent
connectivity and long delay in wireless networks. Due to the limited
connectivity, DTN is vulnerable to blackhole and greyhole attacks
in which malicious nodes intentionally drop all or part of the
received messages. Although existing proposals could accurately
detect the attack launched by individuals, they fail to tackle the
case that malicious nodes cooperate with each other to cheat the
defense system. A scheme is proposed called Statistical-based
2016

Detection of Blackhole and Greyhole attackers (SDBG) to address
both individual and collusion attacks. Nodes are required to
exchange their encounter record histories, based on which other
nodes can evaluate their forwarding behaviors. To detect the
individual misbehavior, forwarding ratio metrics is defined that can
distinguish the behavious of attackers from normal nodes.
Malicious nodes might avoid being detected by colluding to
manipulate their forwarding ratio metrics. To continuously drop
messages and promote the metrics at the same time, attackers need
to create fake encounter records frequently and with high forged
numbers of sent messages.
5 Energy and Memory Efficient Clone Detection in
An energy-efficient location-aware clone detection protocol is
proposed in densely deployed WSNs, which can guarantee
successful clone attack detection and maintain satisfactory
network lifetime. Specifically, we exploit the location information of
sensors and randomly select witnesses located in a ring area to
verify the legitimacy of sensors and to report detected clone attacks.
The ring structure facilitates energy-efficient data forwarding along
the path towards the witnesses and the sink. Proposed protocol can
achieve 100 percent clone detection probability with trustful
witnesses. We further extend the work by studying the clone
detection performance with untrustful witnesses and show that the
clone detection probability still approaches 98 percent when 10
percent of witnesses are compromised.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are resource constrained.
Energy is one of the most important resources in such
networks. Therefore, optimal use of energy is necessary. A
novel energy-efficient routing protocol is proposed for WSNs.
The protocol is reliable in terms of data delivery at the base

station (BS). We consider mobility in sensor nodes and in the
BS. The proposed protocol is hierarchical and cluster based.
Each cluster consists of one cluster head (CH) node, two
deputy CH nodes, and some ordinary sensor nodes. The
reclustering time and energy requirements have been
minimized by introducing the concept of CH panel. At the

CH nodes and forms the CH panel. Considering the reliability
aspect of the protocol, it puts best effort to ensure a specified
throughput level at the BS. Depending on the topology of the
network, the data transmission from the CH node to the BS
is carried out either directly or in multihop fashion.
7 Cloud-Assisted Data Fusion and Sensor Selection for
Internet-of-Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is connecting people and smart devices
on a scale that was once unimaginable. One major challenge for the
IoT is to handle vast amount of sensing data generated from the
smart devices that are resource-limited and subject to missing data
due to link or node failures. By exploring cloud computing with the
IoT, we present a cloud-based solution that takes into account the
link quality and spatio-temporal correlation of data to minimize
energy consumption by selecting sensors for sampling and relaying
data. We propose a multiphase adaptive sensing algorithm with
belief propagation (BP) protocol (ASBP), which can provide high
data quality and reduce energy consumption by turning on only a
small number of nodes in the network.

8 RMER: Reliable and Energy-efficient Data Collection
for Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks
A novel event data collection approach named RMER (Reliability
and Multi-path Encounter Routing) is proposed for meeting
reliability and energy efficiency requirements. The contributions of
the RMER approach are the following: (a) Fewer monitor nodes are
IOT, preprint 2016

selected in hotspot areas that are close to the Sink, and more
monitor nodes are selected in non-hotspot areas, which can lead to
increased network lifetime and event detection reliability. (b) The
RMER approach sends data to the Sink by converging multi-path
routes of event monitoring nodes into a one-path route to aggregate
data. Thus, energy consumption can be greatly reduced, thereby
enabling further increased network lifetime.
9 A Secure and Efficient ID-Based Aggregate Signature
Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
Affording secure and efficient big data aggregation methods
is very attractive in the field of wireless sensor networks
research. In real settings, the wireless sensor networks have
been broadly applied, such as target tracking and
environment remote monitoring. However, data can be easily
compromised by a vast of attacks, such as data interception
and data tampering, etc. In this paper, we mainly focus on
data integrity protection, give an identity-based aggregate
signature scheme with a designated verifier for wireless
sensor networks. According to the advantage of aggregate
signatures, our scheme not only can keep data integrity, but
also can reduce bandwidth and storage cost for wireless
sensor networks. Furthermore, the security of our identity-
based aggregate signature scheme is rigorously presented
based on the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in
random oracle model.

10 PROVEST: Provenance-based Trust Model for Delay
Tolerant Networks
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are often encountered in military
network environments where end-to-end connectivity is not
guaranteed due to frequent disconnection or delay. This work
proposes a provenance-based trust framework, namely PROVEST
(PROVEnance-baSed Trust model) that aims to achieve accurate
computing, Preprint

peer-to-peer trust assessment and maximize the delivery of correct
messages received by destination nodes while minimizing message
delay and communication cost under resource-constrained
network environments. Provenance refers to the history of
ownership of a valued object or information. We leverage the
interdependency between trustworthiness of information source
and information itself in PROVEST. PROVEST takes a data-driven
approach to reduce resource consumption in the presence of selfish
or malicious nodes while estimating a node’s trust dynamically in
response to changes in the environmental and node conditions.
based P2P networks
More and more users are attracted by P2P networks
characterized by decentralization, autonomy and anonymity.
However, users’ unconstrained behavior makes it necessary
to use a trust model when establishing trust relationships
between peers. Most existing trust models are based on
recommendations, which, however, suffer from the
shortcomings of slow convergence and high complexity of
trust computations, as well as huge overhead of network
traffic. Inspired by the establishment of trust relationships in
human society, a guarantee-based trust model, GeTrust, is
proposed for Chord-based P2P networks. A service peer needs
to choose its guarantee peer(s) for the service it is going to
provide, and they are both required to pledge reputation
mortgages for the service. The request peer makes
evaluations on all the candidates of service peer by referring
their service reputations and their guarantee peers’
reputations, and selects the one with highest evaluation to be
its service provider. In order to enhance GeTrust’s availability
and prevent malicious behavior, incentive mechanism and
anonymous reputation management strategy is proposed.

12 A Provably Secure, Efficient and Flexible
Authentication Scheme for Ad hoc Wireless Sensor
Networks
Smart card-based authentication scheme for heterogeneous ad hoc
wireless sensor network. This scheme is very efficient since it
employs only hash function and XOR operation. However, we found
that Turkanovic et al.'s scheme is vulnerable to impersonation
attack with node capture, stolen smart card attack, sensor node
spoofing attack, stolen verifier attack, and fails to ensure backward
secrecy. We propose an efficient scheme to overcome all those
weaknesses. Moreover, an advanced scheme is proposed, which
provides perfect forward secrecy without much modification from
the first proposed scheme.

13 Dictionary Based Secure Provenance Compression
for Wireless Sensor Networks
Due to energy and bandwidth limitations of wireless sensor
networks (WSNs), it is crucial that data provenance for these
networks be as compact as possible. Even if lossy compression
techniques are used for encoding provenance information, the size
of the provenance increases with the number of nodes traversed by
the network packets. To address such issues, we propose a
dictionary based provenance scheme. In our approach, each sensor
node in the network stores a packet path dictionary. With the
support of this dictionary, a path index instead of the path itself is
enclosed with each packet. Since the packet path index is a code
word of a dictionary, its size is independent of the number of nodes
present in the packet's path. Furthermore, scheme binds the packet
and its provenance through an AM-FM sketch and uses a secure
packet sequence number generation technique, it can defend
against most of the known provenance attacks.

14 ActiveTrust: Secure and Trustable Routing in
Information Forensics
and Security, Sep 2016

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly being deployed
in security-critical applications. Because of their inherent resource-
constrained characteristics, they are prone to various security
attacks, and a black hole attack is a type of attack that seriously
affects data collection. To conquer that challenge, an active
detection-based security and trust routing scheme named
ActiveTrust is proposed for WSNs. The most important innovation
of ActiveTrust is that it avoids black holes through the active
creation of a number of detection routes to quickly detect and
obtain nodal trust and thus improve the data route security. More
importantly, the generation and the distribution of detection routes
are given in the ActiveTrust scheme, which can fully use the energy
in non-hotspots to create as many detection routes as needed to
achieve the desired security and energy efficiency.
