Achieving Secure and Efficient Cloud Search Services: Cross-Lingual Multi-Keyword Rank Search over Encrypted Cloud Data
Multi-user multi-keyword ranked search scheme in arbitrary language is a
novel multi-keyword rank searchable encryption (MRSE) framework based on
Paillier Cryptosystem with Threshold Decryption (PCTD). Compared to previous
MRSE schemes constructed based on the k-nearest neighbor searcha-ble encryption
(KNN-SE) algorithm, it can mitigate some draw-backs and achieve better
performance in terms of functionality and efficiency. Additionally, it does not
require a predefined keyword set and support keywords in arbitrary languages.
However, due to the pattern of exact matching of keywords in the new MRSE
scheme, multilingual search is limited to each language and cannot be searched
across languages. In this pa-per, we propose a cross-lingual multi-keyword rank
search (CLRSE) scheme which eliminates the barrier of languages and achieves
semantic extension with using the Open Multilingual Wordnet. Our CLRSE scheme
also realizes intelligent and per-sonalized search through flexible keyword and
language prefer-ence settings. We evaluate the performance of our scheme in
terms of security, functionality, precision and efficiency, via extensive
experiments
Towards Dual-functional Radar-Communication Systems: Optimal Waveform Design
We focus on a dual-functional multi-input-multi-output (MIMO)
radar-communication (RadCom) system, where a single transmitter communicates
with downlink cellular users and detects radar targets simultaneously. Several
design criteria are considered for minimizing the downlink multi-user
interference. First, we consider both the omnidirectional and directional
beampattern design problems, where the closed-form globally optimal solutions
are obtained. Based on these waveforms, we further consider a weighted
optimization to enable a flexible trade-off between radar and communications
performance and introduce a low-complexity algorithm. The computational costs
of the above three designs are shown to be similar to the conventional
zero-forcing (ZF) precoding. Moreover, to address the more practical constant
modulus waveform design problem, we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm that
obtains a globally optimal solution and derive its worst-case complexity as a
function of the maximum iteration number. Finally, we assess the effectiveness
of the proposed waveform design approaches by numerical results.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for
