With the rapid growth of image transmission and storage, image security has become a hot topic in the community of information security. Image encryption is a direct way to ensure image security. This paper presents a novel approach that uses a hyperchaotic system, Pixel-level Filtering with kernels of variable shapes and parameters, and DNA-level Diffusion, so-called PFDD, for image encryption. The PFDD totally consists of four stages. First, a hyperchaotic system is applied to generating hyperchaotic sequences for the purpose of subsequent operations. Second, dynamic filtering is performed on pixels to change the pixel values. To increase the diversity of filtering, kernels with variable shapes and parameters determined by the hyperchaotic sequences are used. Third, a global bit-level scrambling is conducted to change the values and positions of pixels simultaneously. The bit stream is then encoded into DNA-level data. Finally, a novel DNA-level diffusion scheme is proposed to further change the image values. We tested the proposed PFDD with 15 publicly accessible images with different sizes, and the results demonstrate that the PFDD is capable of achieving state-of-the-art results in terms of the evaluation criteria, indicating that the PFDD is very effective for image encryption.

Group decision making for internet public opinion emergency based upon linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy information

Yi Liu, Guiwu Wei, Haobin Liu, Lei Xu

Summary: The study aims to construct the emergency group decision-making model for multiple network public opinion emergencies under the linguistic intuitionistic environment. New concepts such as extended Copula and extended Co-Copula are introduced, along with operational rules based on linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed EGDM approach integrates Choquet integral and operational rules of LIFNs, showing its validity and advantages compared to existing approaches.

The Generalized Dice Similarity Measures for Probabilistic Uncertain Linguistic MAGDM and Its Application to Location Planning of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Guiwu Wei, Rui Lin, Jianping Lu, Jiang Wu, Cun Wei

Summary: The optimal location of electric vehicle charging stations is crucial for their operational efficiency and user satisfaction, involving multiple attributes and group decision making. In practical scenarios, uncertain linguistic term sets are used to depict fuzzy cognitive decision information, which can be transformed into probabilistic uncertain linguistic sets. Novel probabilistic uncertain linguistic similarity measures are designed and applied in the decision-making process for electric vehicle charging station location planning.

TODIM Method Based on Cumulative Prospect Theory for Multiple Attributes Group Decision Making Under Probabilistic Hesitant Fuzzy Setting

Ningna Liao, Guiwu Wei, Xudong Chen

Summary: The TODIM method, based on the Probabilistic Hesitant Fuzzy sets, considers decision makers' bounded rationality and uses an Extended TODIM based on Cumulative Prospect Theory for probabilistic hesitant fuzzy multiple attributes group decision-making (MAGDM). Entropy is applied to calculate weights between attributes, and a numerical case study is used to compare the extended TODIM method with other methods to test its reasonability.

An image encryption algorithm based on joint RNA-level permutation and substitution

Duzhong Zhang, Xiancheng Wen, Chao Yan, Taiyong Li

Summary: This paper presents a novel joint RNA-level permutation and substitution (JRPS) based image encryption algorithm, which utilizes a six-dimensional hyper-chaotic system to generate pseudo-random sequences and transforms plaintext images into RNA codon sequences according to RNA rules. Running two rounds of joint RNA-level permutation and substitution on the RNA codon sequence yields a cipher image. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can withstand various attacks.

Hyper-chaotic color image encryption based on 3D orthogonal Latin cubes and RNA diffusion

Duzhong Zhang, Lexing Chen, Taiyong Li

Summary: This paper presents a new image encryption algorithm called HCLRNA, which is based on a hyper-chaotic system, three-dimensional orthogonal Latin cube transformation, and RNA diffusion. It consists of three main steps: generating chaotic matrices using a 6D hyper-chaotic system, scrambling the plaintext image using 3D orthogonal Latin cube transformation, and diffusing the scrambled pixel values using RNA codons. Experimental results show that HCLRNA meets the requirements of different evaluation indicators, effectively resists common attacks, and performs significantly better in resisting differential attacks compared to other studies.

KNN-Based Consensus Algorithm for Better Service Level Agreement in Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) Systems

Qingxiao Zheng, Lingfeng Wang, Jin He, Taiyong Li

Summary: With the expansion of services in cloud manufacturing, service level agreements (SLAs) are increasingly used by cloud manufacturers to ensure business processing cooperation. However, consensus algorithms in Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) systems often overlook the importance of SLAs. To address this issue, a KNN-based consensus algorithm is proposed that classifies transactions based on their priority. The enhanced consensus algorithm improves the satisfaction of SLAs in BaaS systems, allowing cloud service providers to provide better services to cloud service consumers.

Panjie Wang, Jiang Wu, Yuan Wei, Taiyong Li

Summary: This study proposes a hybrid ensemble learning algorithm, CEEMD-MultiRocket, which combines Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMD) with an improved MultiRocket for accurate time series classification. The method decomposes the raw time series into IMFs and a residue using CEEMD, and selects the decomposed sub-series based on their classification accuracy compared to the raw time series. The improved MultiRocket is then applied to the selected sub-series and the first-order difference of the raw time series to generate the final classification results.
