Authenticating Query Results In Data Publishing, Di Ma, Robert H. Deng, Hwee Hwa Pang, Jianying Zhou
Authenticating Query Results In Data Publishing, Di Ma, Robert H. Deng, Hwee Hwa Pang, Jianying Zhou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose a communication-efficient authentication scheme to authenticate query results disseminated by untrusted data publishing servers. In our scheme, signatures of multiple tuples in the result set are aggregated into one and thus the communication overhead incurred by the signature keeps constant. Next attr-MHTs (tuple based Merkle Hash Tree) are built to further reduce the communication overhead incurred by auxiliary authentication information (AAI). Besides the property of communication-efficiency, our scheme also supports dynamic SET operations (UNION, INTERSECTION) and dynamic JOIN with immunity to reordering attack.
Tailored Watermarking Schemes For Authentication Of Electronic Clinical Atlases, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Beng-Chin Ooi, Yanjiang Yang
Tailored Watermarking Schemes For Authentication Of Electronic Clinical Atlases, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Beng-Chin Ooi, Yanjiang Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
It is accepted that digital watermarking is quite relevant in medical imaging. However, due to the special nature of clinical practice, it is often required that watermarking not introduce irreversible distortions to medical images. The electronic clinical atlas has such a need of "lossless" watermarking. We present two tailored reversible watermarking schemes for the clinical atlas by exploiting its inherent characteristics. We have implemented the schemes and our experimental results look very promising.
A Block Oriented Fingerprinting Scheme In Relational Database, Siyuan Liu, Shuhong Wang, Robert H. Deng, Weizhong Shao
A Block Oriented Fingerprinting Scheme In Relational Database, Siyuan Liu, Shuhong Wang, Robert H. Deng, Weizhong Shao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The need for protecting rights over relational data is of ever increasing concern. There have recently been some pioneering works in this area. In this paper, we propose an effective fingerprinting scheme based on the idea of block method in the area of multimedia fingerprinting. The scheme ensures that certain bit positions of the data contain specific values. The bit positions are determined by the keys known only to the owner of the data and different buyers of the database have different bit positions and different specific values for those bit positions. The detection of the fingerprint can be completed …
Cryptanalysis Of A Forward Secure Blind Signature Scheme With Provable Security, Shuhong Wang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Cryptanalysis Of A Forward Secure Blind Signature Scheme With Provable Security, Shuhong Wang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A forward secure blind signature scheme was proposed by Duc, Cheon and Kim, in ICICS 2003. The security of the scheme was proved to be equivalent to the strong RSA assumption in the random oracle model. In this paper we present an attack to the scheme by forging valid signatures with public keys only. The attack is so efficient that forging a valid signature needs less computation than legally generating a signature, even considering only the user side. Our result implies that the security proof of the scheme must be invalid. Furthermore we point out the fault of the proof …
Sequential Aggregate Signatures Working Over Independent Homomorphic Trapdoor One-Way Permutation Domains, Huafei Zhu, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Sequential Aggregate Signatures Working Over Independent Homomorphic Trapdoor One-Way Permutation Domains, Huafei Zhu, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The contribution of this paper has two folds. In the first fold, we propose a generic construction of sequential aggregate signatures from families of certificated trapdoor one-way permutations. We show that our construction is provably secure in the random oracle model assuming that the underlying homomorphic permutations are trapdoor one-way. Compared to Lysyanskaya et al’s generic construction that is constructed from a trapdoor one-way permutation family working over the same domain [16], our scheme works over independent trapdoor one-way permutation domains. The flexible choice of the underlying permutation domains benefits our scheme to its applications in the real world where …

On Security Notions Of Steganographic Systems, Kisik Chang, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao, Sangjin Lee, Hyungjun Kim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We define the notion of pseudoprocessingness to formulate chosen-input-attack, chosen-stego-attack, and key-recovery. We then construct a efficient, provable secure steganographic algorithm against chosen-input-attack and key-recovery. So far as we know, this is the first paper dealing with those security notions.
Anonymous Dos-Resistant Access Control Protocol Using Passwords For Wireless Networks, Zhiguo Wan, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao, Akkihebbal L. Ananda
Anonymous Dos-Resistant Access Control Protocol Using Passwords For Wireless Networks, Zhiguo Wan, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao, Akkihebbal L. Ananda
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Wireless networks have gained overwhelming popularity over their wired counterpart due to their great flexibility and convenience, but access control of wireless networks has been a serious problem because of the open medium. Passwords remain the most popular way for access control as well as authentication and key exchange. But existing password-based access control protocols are not satisfactory in that they do not provide DoS-resistance or anonymity. In this paper we analyze the weaknesses of an access control protocol using passwords for wireless networks in IEEE LCN 2001, and propose a different access control protocol using passwords for wireless networks. …

Security Analysis And Improvement Of Return Routability Protocol, Ying Qiu, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Mobile communication plays a more and more important role in computer networks. How to authenticate a new connecting address belonging to a said mobile node is one of the key issues in mobile networks. This paper analyzes the Return Routability (RR) protocol and proposes an improved security solution for the RR protocol without changing its architecture. With the improvement, three types of redirect attacks can be prevented.

Cuhk At Imageclef 2005: Cross-Language And Cross-Media Image Retrieval, Steven C. H. Hoi, J. Zhu, M. Lyu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we describe our studies of cross-language and cross-media image retrieval at the ImageCLEF 2005. This is the first participation of our CUHK (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) group at ImageCLEF. The task in which we participated is the “bilingual ad hoc retrieval” task. There are three major focuses and contributions in our participation. The first is the empirical evaluation of language models and smoothing strategies for cross-language image retrieval. The second is the evaluation of cross-media image retrieval, i.e., combining text and visual contents for image retrieval. The last is the evaluation of bilingual image retrieval …

New Efficient Mds Array Codes For Raid Part I: Reed-Solomon-Like Codes For Tolerating Three Disk Failures, Gui-Liang Feng, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao, Jia-Chen Shen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper presents a class of binary maximum distance separable (MDS) array codes for tolerating disk failures in redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID) architecture based on circular permutation matrices. The size of the information part is m×n, the size of the parity-check part is m×3, and the minimum distance is 4, where n is the number of information disks, the number of parity-check disks is 3, and (m+1) is a prime integer. In practical applications, m can be very large and n is from 20 to 50. The code rate is R=n/(n+3). These codes can be used for tolerating …

Wmxml: A System For Watermarking Xml Data, Xuan Zhou, Hwee Hwa Pang, Kian-Lee Tan, Dhruv Mangla
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As increasing amount of data is published in the form of XML, copyright protection of XML data is becoming an important requirement for many applications. While digital watermarking is a widely used measure to protect digital data from copyright offences, the complex and flexible construction of XML data poses a number of challenges to digital watermarking, such as re-organization and alteration attacks. To overcome these challenges, the watermarking scheme has to be based on the usability of data and the underlying semantics like key attributes and functional dependencies. In this paper, we describe WmXML, a system for watermarking XML documents. …
Privacy Issues In The Era Of Ubiquitous Commerce, Holtjona Galanxhi, Fiona Fui-Hoon Nah
Privacy Issues In The Era Of Ubiquitous Commerce, Holtjona Galanxhi, Fiona Fui-Hoon Nah
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The vision of ubiquitous commerce (u-commerce) is realized through the convergence of electronic, mobile, television, voice and silent commerce applications. The ubiquity, universality, uniqueness, and unison of u-commerce will provide two principal benefits for individual users and companies: increased convenience as well as more personalized and customized services. However, u-commerce will also bring new issues such as a greater degree of privacy concerns that will impact individual users, companies, and the society at large. This paper proposes and elaborates on a conceptual framework for privacy in the u-commerce era. It combines Lessig’s macro-level perspective – the four-factor model of privacy …

Valuations Of Possible States (Vps): A Unifying Quantitative Framework For Evaluating Privacy In Collaboration, Rajiv T. Maheswaran, Jonathan Pearce, Pradeep Varakantham, Emma Bowring, Milind Tambe
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
For agents deployed in real-world settings, such as businesses, universities and research laboratories, it is critical that agents protect their individual users’ privacy when interacting with others entities. Indeed, privacy is recognized as a key motivating factor in design of several multiagent algorithms, such as distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) algorithms. Unfortunately, rigorous and general quantitative metrics for analysis and comparison of such multiagent algorithms with respect to privacy loss are lacking. This paper takes a key step towards developing a general quantitative model from which one can analyze and generate metrics of privacy loss by introducing the VPS (Valuations of …
Deposit-Case Attack Against Secure Roaming, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Xiaotie Deng
Deposit-Case Attack Against Secure Roaming, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Xiaotie Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A secure roaming protocol involves three parties: a roaming user, a visiting foreign server and the user’s home server. The protocol allows the user and the foreign server to establish a session key and carry out mutual authentication with the help of the home server. In the mutual authentication, user authentication is generally done in two steps. First, the user claims that a particular server is his home server. Second, that particular server is called in by the foreign server for providing a ‘credential’ which testifies the user’s claim. We present a new attacking technique which allows a malicious server …
How Much You Watch, How Much You Pay, Yongdong Wu, Hwee Hwa Pang, Robert H. Deng
How Much You Watch, How Much You Pay, Yongdong Wu, Hwee Hwa Pang, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper presents a pay-video scheme that manages video stream, key stream and payment stream efficiently. In our scheme, the owner segments a video into fragments and encrypts them with independent keys. The keys are generated with a novel concept called as hash interval, where each hash interval discloses a range of numbers without disclosing any information on numbers outside of the range. The video fragments are then broadcast on one or more channels. A buyer can purchase the keys to decrypt any fragments and, within each fragment, any desired quality level. The accompanying payment protocol is integrated with the …
Efficient Anonymous Roaming And Its Security Analysis, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Xiaotie Deng
Efficient Anonymous Roaming And Its Security Analysis, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Xiaotie Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The Canetti-Krawczyk (CK) model uses resuable modular components to construct indistinguishability-based key exchange protocols. The reusability of modular protocol components makes it easier to construct and prove new protocols when compared with other provably secure approaches. In this paper, we build an efficient anonymous and authenticated key exchange protocol for roaming by using the modular approach under the CK-model. Our protocol requires only four message flows and uses only standard cryptographic primitives. We also propose a one-pass counter based MT-authenticator and show its security under the assumption that there exists a MAC which is secure against chosen message attack.
Breaking Public Key Cryptosystems On Tamper Resistant Devices In The Presence Of Transient Faults, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Y. Han, A. Jeng, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, T. Ngair
Breaking Public Key Cryptosystems On Tamper Resistant Devices In The Presence Of Transient Faults, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Y. Han, A. Jeng, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, T. Ngair
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper we present a method of attacking public-key cryptosystems (PKCs) on tamper resistant devices. The attack makes use of transient faults and seems applicable to many types of PKCs. In particular, we show how to attack the RSA, the E1Gamal signature scheme, the Schnorr signature scheme, and the DSA. We also present some possible methods to counter the attack.
Protecting Group Dynamic Information In Large Scale Multicast Groups, Yongdong Wu, Tieyan Li, Robert H. Deng
Protecting Group Dynamic Information In Large Scale Multicast Groups, Yongdong Wu, Tieyan Li, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Existing key management schemes can secure group communication efficiently, but are failed on protecting the Group Dynamic Information (GDI) that may undermine group privacy. Recently, Sun et al. proposed a scheme to hide the GDI with batch updating and phantom members inserting so that an adversary is not able to estimate the number of group members. In this paper, we first point out that their scheme is only applicable in departure-only group communication instead of the common conference groups. Secondly, we introduce our method of estimating the group size at a higher confidence level given a prior departure probability. Further, …
A New Architecture For User Authentication And Key Exchange Using Password For Federated Enterprises, Yanjiang Yang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
A New Architecture For User Authentication And Key Exchange Using Password For Federated Enterprises, Yanjiang Yang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The rapid rise of federated enterprises entails a new way of trust management by the fact that an enterprise can account for partial trust of its affiliating organizations. On the other hand, password has historically been used as a main means for user authentication because of operational simplicity. We are thus motivated to explore the use of short password for user authentication and key exchange in the context of federated enterprises. Exploiting the special structure of a federated enterprise, our proposed new architecture comprises an external server managed by each affiliating organization and a central server managed by the enterprise …
Secure Human Communications Based On Biometrics Signals, Yongdong Wu, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Secure Human Communications Based On Biometrics Signals, Yongdong Wu, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
User authentication is the first and probably the most challenging step in achieving secure person-to-person communications. Most of the existing authentication schemes require communicating parties either share a secret/password or know each other's public key. In this paper we suggest a novel user authentication scheme that is easy to use and overcomes the requirements of sharing password or public keys. Our scheme allows two human users to perform mutual authentication and have secure communications over an open channel by exchanging biometrics signals (e. g., voice or video signals). In addition to user authentication, our scheme establishes a secret session key …
Providing Efficient Certification Services Against Active Attacks In Ad Hoc Networks, Bo Zhu, Guilin Wang, Zhiguo Wan, Mohan S. Kankanhalli, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Providing Efficient Certification Services Against Active Attacks In Ad Hoc Networks, Bo Zhu, Guilin Wang, Zhiguo Wan, Mohan S. Kankanhalli, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Most of previous research work in key management can only resist passive attacks, such as dropping the certificate request, and are vulnerable under active attacks, such as returning a fake reply to the node requesting the certification service. In this paper, we propose two algorithms to address both security and efficiency issues of certification services in ad hoc networks. Both of the algorithms can resist active attacks. In addition, simulation results show that, compared to the previous works, our second algorithm is not only much faster in a friendly environment, but it also works well in a hostile environment in …

Privacy And Ownership Preserving Of Outsourced Medical Data, Elisa Bertino, Beng Chin Ooi, Yanjiang Yang, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The demand for the secondary use of medical data is increasing steadily to allow for the provision of better quality health care. Two important issues pertaining to this sharing of data have to be addressed: one is the privacy protection for individuals referred to in the data; the other is copyright protection over the data. In this paper, we present a unified framework that seamlessly combines techniques of binning and digital watermarking to attain the dual goals of privacy and copyright protection. Our binning method is built upon an earlier approach of generalization and suppression by allowing a broader concept …

Fingerprinting Relational Databases: Schemes And Specialities, Yingjiu Li, Vipin Swarup, Sushil Jajodia
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we present a technique for fingerprinting relational data by extending Agrawal et al.'s watermarking scheme. The primary new capability provided by our scheme is that, under reasonable assumptions, it can embed and detect arbitrary bit-string marks in relations. This capability, which is not provided by prior techniques, permits our scheme to be used as a fingerprinting scheme. We then present quantitative models of the robustness properties of our scheme. These models demonstrate that fingerprints embedded by our scheme are detectable and robust against a wide variety of attacks including collusion attacks.
Security Of An Ill-Posed Operator Based Scheme For Image Authentication, Yongdong Wu, Robert H. Deng
Security Of An Ill-Posed Operator Based Scheme For Image Authentication, Yongdong Wu, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This letter analyzes the security of an image authentication scheme which exploits the instability of an ill-posed operator. Since the ill-posed operator produces only a limited number of authentic images regardless of the number of watermarks, an attacker can impersonate an image owner to generate authentic images at a high probability. Our experiments demonstrate that our attack is both practical and effective.

Technology Competition And Optimal Investment Timing: A Real Options Perspective, Robert J. Kauffman, X. Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Companies often choose to defer irreversible investments to maintain valuable managerial flexibility in an uncertain world. For some technology-intensive projects, technology uncertainty plays a dominant role in affecting investment timing. This article analyzes the investment timing strategy for a firm that is deciding about whether to adopt one or the other of two incompatible and competing technologies.We develop a continuous-time stochastic model that aids in the determination of optimal timing for managerial adoption within the framework of real options theory. The model captures the elements of the decision-making process in such a way so as to provide managerial guidance in …

Ontology-Assisted Mining Of Rdf Documents, Tao Jiang, Ah-Hwee Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Resource description framework (RDF) is becoming a popular encoding language for describing and interchanging metadata of web resources. In this paper, we propose an Apriori-based algorithm for mining association rules (AR) from RDF documents. We treat relations (RDF statements) as items in traditional AR mining to mine associations among relations. The algorithm further makes use of a domain ontology to provide generalization of relations. To obtain compact rule sets, we present a generalized pruning method for removing uninteresting rules. We illustrate a potential usage of AR mining on RDF documents for detecting patterns of terrorist activities. Experiments conducted based on …

On Security Notions For Steganalysis, Kisik Chang, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao, Sangjin Lee, Hyungjun Kim, Jongin Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
There have been some achievements in steganalysis recently. Many people have been making strides in steganalysis. They have approached steganalysis from different angles; from information theory to complexity theory. Anderson gave a possibility that there is a provable secure steganographic system, but there had not been complexity theoretical approaches for years. In 2002, Katzenbeisser and Petitcolas defined the conditional security of steganography and gave a possibility for a practical, provable secure steganography for the first time, and Hopper et al. introduced a provable secure steganographic algorithm in the sense of complexity theory. Chang et al. also tried to define the …

Anonymous Secure Routing In Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Bo Zhu, Zhiguo Wan, Mohan S. Kankanhalli, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Although there are a large number of papers on secure routing in mobile ad-hoc networks, only a few consider the anonymity issue. In this paper, we define more strict requirements on the anonymity and security properties of the routing protocol, and notice that previous research works only provide Weak Location Privacy and Route Anonymity, and are vulnerable to specific attacks. Therefore, we propose the Anonymous Secure Routing (ASR) protocol that can provide additional properties on anonymity, i.e. Identity Anonymity and Strong Location Privacy, and at the same time ensure the security of discovered routes against various passive and active attacks. …

Flexible Verification Of Mpeg-4 Stream In Peer-To-Peer Cdn, Tieyan Li, Yongdong Wu, Di Ma, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The current packet based stream authentication schemes provide effective and efficient authentication over a group of packets transmitted on erasure channels. However, by fixing the packets in transmission, any packet manipulation will cause authentication failure. In p2p content delivery network where a proxy-in-the-middle is able to store, forward, transcode and transform the stream, previous schemes are simply unapplicable. To address the problem, we propose a flexible verification scheme that relies on special stream formats (i.e. Unequal Loss Protection ULP scheme [7]). We apply the so called Unequal Loss Verification ULV scheme into MPEG-4 framework. The encoding, packing, amortizing and verifying …
