Various DRM standards curb users freedom to transfer and share digital contents among rendering devices. Several interoperability schemes that accommodate devices DRM compatibility have been raised through content distribution or sharing channel, these approaches are usually implemented by domain management or third party transformation services. Most of these schemes emphasize their advantages over others on trust level, security, cost, efficiency and flexibility. Our proposal integrates previous work to maintain the basic requirement of DRM system, we stick to local third party as the foundation for interoperability, we also use proxy re-encryption scheme to protect raw content from disclosure during content translation. And we try to enhance the system by bringing in three principles: security of content encryption key, fewest participants in conversion and minimum calculation requirements for end device. Finally, Statistical demonstration is presented with comparison to other schemes in our analysis to prove performance improvements.

Comparable Encryption

User authentication has been widely deployed to prevent unauthorized access in the new era of Internet of Everything (IOE). When user passes the legal authentication, he/she can do series of operations in database. We mainly concern issues of data security and comparable queries over ciphertexts in IOE. In traditional database, a Short Comparable Encryption (SCE) scheme has been widely used by authorized users to conduct comparable queries over ciphertexts, but existing SCE schemes still incur high storage and computational overhead as well as economic burden. In this paper, we first propose a basic Short Comparable Encryption scheme based on sliding window method (SCESW), which can significantly reduce computational and storage burden as well as enhance work efficiency. Unfortunately, as the cloud service provider is a semitrusted third party, public auditing mechanism needs to be furnished to protect data integrity. To further protect data integrity and reduce management overhead, we present an enhanced SCESW scheme based on position-aware Merkle tree, namely, PT-SCESW. Security analysis proves that PT-SCESW and SCESW schemes can guarantee completeness and weak indistinguishability in standard model. Performance evaluation indicates that PT-SCESW scheme is efficient and feasible in practical applications, especially for smarter and smaller computing devices in IOE.

In the paper we discuss how to support the process of creating tools which transform natural language (NL) queries into SPARQL queries (hereinafter referred to as a transformation tool). In the introduction, we describe the relevance of the task of understanding natural language queries by information systems, as well as the advantages of using ontologies as a means of representing knowledge for solving this problem. This ontology-based data access approach can be also used in systems which provide natural language interface to databases. Based on the analysis of problems related to the integration and testing of existing transformation tools, as well as to support the creation and testing own transformation modules, the concept of a software platform that simplifies these tasks is proposed. The platform architecture satisfies the requirements for ease of connecting third party transformation tools, reusing individual modules, as well as integrating the resulting transformation tools into other systems, including testing systems. The building blocks of the created transformation systems are the individual transformation modules packaged in Docker containers. Program access to each module is carried out using gRPC. Modules loaded into the platform can be built into the transformation pipeline automatically or manually using the built-in third party SciVi data flow diagram editor. Compatibility of individual modules is controlled by automatic analysis of application programming interfaces. The resulting pipeline is combined according to specified data flow into a single multi-container application that can be integrated into other systems, as well as tested on extendable test suites. The expected and actual results of the query transformation are available for viewing in graphical form in the visualization tool developed earlier.

Commercial Web-based Personal-Health Record (PHR) systems can help patients to share their personal health records (PHRs) anytime from anywhere. PHRs are very sensitive data and an inappropriate disclosure may cause serious problems to an individual. Therefore commercial Web-based PHR systems have to ensure that the patient health data is secured using state-of-the-art mechanisms. In current commercial PHR systems, even though patients have the power to define the access control policy on who can access their data, patients have to trust entirely the access-control manager of the commercial PHR system to properly enforce these policies. Therefore patients hesitate to upload their health data to these systems as the data is processed unencrypted on untrusted platforms. Recent proposals on enforcing access control policies exploit the use of encryption techniques to enforce access control policies. In such systems, information is stored in an encrypted form by the third party and there is no need for an access control manager. This implies that data remains confidential even if the database maintained by the third party is compromised. In this paper we propose a new encryption technique called a type-and-identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme which is suitable to be used in the healthcare setting. The proposed scheme allows users (patients) to securely store their PHRs on commercial Web-based PHRs, and securely share their PHRs with other users (doctors).

Among responses to governmental regulations for curbing carbon emissions, outsourcing carbon reduction to a specialized third-party is an important means to satisfy a variety of carbon-emission restraints. In this situation, however, designing efficient contracts for emission reducing while retaining appropriate supply-chain profit is a substantial but challenging problem. We therefore refine this from practice and consider a low-carbon supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer to analyze in which conditions the system should outsource its carbon reduction efforts to an external expert firm under the assumption that consumers with a sense of social responsibility prefer low carbon products. In the decarbonization expert firm embedded supply chain, we examine the respective impacts of three cost-pooling schemes for emission reduction on supply chain performances. We find that the manufacturer-undertaking contract is the worst in terms of profit and carbon reduction level among the contracts being studied, while the retailer-undertaking contract yields the best outcome in terms of the profit and performs well in carbon reduction when the contractor has cost efficiency in carbon reduction, which is even better than the joint-undertaking contract in carbon reduction when the contractor is inefficient. The study shows the diversity of contracts on outsourcing carbon reduction significantly impacts the supply chain profitability, carbon reduction efficiency and sustainability of operations.

Ciphertext Policy

It is the most important and challenging problem to share the data safely in cloud computing. Some so-called trusted third parties may also infringe users’ data privacy. It is an urgent problem for data owners to share data safely with the designated users rather than the third party or other users. Traditional encryption schemes utilize different keys to produce multiple encrypted copies of the same data for users. It is no longer applicable for cloud data sharing security. Attribute-based encryption can solve above problems, but it needs to rely on trusted third parties to protect the users’ privacy. In this article, in order to address the above problems, we propose a blockchain-based ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme for cloud data secure sharing without relying on any trusted third parties. Blockchain-based ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme can protect the rights and security of data owner. Compared with existing cloud security schemes, the proposed scheme has more advantages in terms of the six aspects: (1) data owners have the authority to decide who can decrypt the data; (2) the operations of users are retained permanently, and all records are tamper-proof; (3) our proposed scheme has the characteristic of “one-to-many” encryption, and data is encrypted only once; (4) our scheme does not rely on any trusted third party; (5) in terms of the discrete logarithm problem and decisional q parallel-bilinear Diffie–Hellman exponent problem, we prove that our proposed scheme is secure; and (6) experiment shows that our proposed scheme is more efficient than the comparative scheme.
