Quantum Private Comparison: A Review
As an important branch of quantum secure multiparty computation, quantum
private comparison (QPC) has attracted more and more attention recently. In
this paper, according to the quantum implementation mechanism that these
protocols used, we divide these protocols into three categories: The quantum
cryptography QPC, the superdense coding QPC, and the entanglement swapping QPC.
And then, a more in-depth analysis on the research progress, design idea, and
substantive characteristics of corresponding QPC categories is carried out,
respectively. Finally, the applications of QPC and quantum secure multi-party
computation issues are discussed and, in addition, three possible research
mainstream directions are pointed out
Routing-Verification-as-a-Service (RVaaS): Trustworthy Routing Despite Insecure Providers
Computer networks today typically do not provide any mechanisms to the users
to learn, in a reliable manner, which paths have (and have not) been taken by
their packets. Rather, it seems inevitable that as soon as a packet leaves the
network card, the user is forced to trust the network provider to forward the
packets as expected or agreed upon. This can be undesirable, especially in the
light of today's trend toward more programmable networks: after a successful
cyber attack on the network management system or Software-Defined Network (SDN)
control plane, an adversary in principle has complete control over the network.
This paper presents a low-cost and efficient solution to detect misbehaviors
and ensure trustworthy routing over untrusted or insecure providers, in
particular providers whose management system or control plane has been
compromised (e.g., using a cyber attack). We propose
Routing-Verification-as-a-Service (RVaaS): RVaaS offers clients a flexible
interface to query information relevant to their traffic, while respecting the
autonomy of the network provider. RVaaS leverages key features of
OpenFlow-based SDNs to combine (passive and active) configuration monitoring,
logical data plane verification and actual in-band tests, in a novel manner
Trust Evaluation for Embedded Systems Security research challenges identified from an incident network scenario
This paper is about trust establishment and trust
evaluations techniques. A short background about trust, trusted
computing and security in embedded systems is given. An analysis
has been done of an incident network scenario with roaming
users and a set of basic security needs has been identified.
These needs have been used to derive security requirements for devices and systems, supporting the considered scenario. Using the requirements, a list of major security challenges for future research regarding trust establishment in dynamic networks have been collected and elaboration on some different approaches for future research has been done.This work was supported by the Knowledge foundation and RISE within the ARIES project
