With the advancement of 5G technology, smart city services have become essential for modern city development. However, existing crowdsourcing systems pose security risks due to reliance on centralized payment institutions. To address this issue, a blockchain-empowered and decentralized trusted service mechanism has been proposed for 5G-enabled smart cities, showing effectiveness in experiments.
With the development of 5G(5th generation mobile networks) technology, smart cities are an inevitable trend in modern city development. Among them, smart city services are the foundation of 5G-enabled smart cities. As an emerging and informational city service model, crowdsourcing has been widely used in our daily life. However, in the existing crowdsourcing systems, the requesters and the workers are usually required to use the crowd sourcing platform as the trust center, and the payment depends on the third-party central payment institutions, which have a massive security risk. Once these centers are attacked or do evil, it will bring higher losses to the crowdsourcing parties. These problems will negatively affect the further development of 5G-enabled smart cities. To address these issues, we propose a blockchain-empowered and decentralized trusted service mechanism for the crowdsourcing system in 5G-enabled smart cities. In the proposed mechanism, the crowdsourcing service process is divided into nine stages: initialization, task submission, task publication, task reception, scheme submission, scheme arbitration, payment, task rollback, and service compensation. The smart contract controls the execution of each step in each stage, and the payment is completed by blockchain without the involvement of third-party central institutions. Finally, we develop smart contracts to conduct experiments based on Ethereum and compare it with the existing crowdsourcing system. The experimental results show the effectiveness and applicability of the crowdsourcing system service mechanism without the central institutions.

SM2-DualRing: Efficient SM2-based ring signature schemes with logarithmic size
Mengqi Feng, Chao Lin, Wei Wu, Debiao He
Summary: Digital signature provides resistance against information tampering and identity impersonation, but lacks specific anonymity requirement for scenarios such as voting and whistle-blowing. Ring signature was introduced for achieving anonymity, but existing schemes face size limitations. In this paper, a novel construction paradigm called DualRing is proposed for logarithmic-sized ring signature. The SM2 digital signature is transformed into Type-T and integrated with DualRing technology, proving unforgeability and anonymity. Optimized and linkable schemes are proposed, and the performance in communication and computation costs are demonstrated.

Enhancing cyber security in WSN using optimized self-attention-based provisional variational auto-encoder generative adversarial network
B. Meenakshi, D. Karunkuzhali
Summary: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a crucial component of the cyber physical system, consisting of fixed or moving sensors that collectively sense, gather, analyze, and transfer data of detected objects. Intrusion detection schemes in WSNs often suffer from poor identification rate, high computation overhead, and higher false alarm rate. This study proposes an innovative approach that combines advanced techniques such as self-attention, provisional learning, and generative adversarial networks to improve security and adaptability in WSNs.

Assessment of the quality of the text of safety standards with industrial semantic technologies
Jose Luis de la Vara, Hector Bahamonde, Clara Ayora
Summary: Most safety-critical systems undergo rigorous assurance processes to ensure dependability, often in compliance with standards like DO-178C for aerospace software. However, following these standards can be challenging due to issues in their text, such as imprecision and ambiguity. This study introduces an approach using RQA - Quality Studio for evaluating the text quality of safety standards, identifying common issues like passive voice and imprecise modal verbs in DO-178C.

Lattice based distributed threshold additive homomorphic encryption with application in federated learning
Haibo Tian, Yanchuan Wen, Fangguo Zhang, Yunfeng Shao, Bingshuai Li
Summary: In this paper, a lattice-based distributed threshold additive homomorphic encryption (DTAHE) scheme is proposed and its applications in federated learning are demonstrated. The DTAHE scheme saves communication bandwidth compared to other lattice-based DTAHE schemes. Two secure aggregation protocols are obtained when embedding the scheme into federated learning, one against semi-honest adversary and the other against active adversary using a smart contract in a ledger.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel personalized sequential recommendation model, BERTSeqHybrid, which utilizes Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to improve user-user similarity model. The model also employs asymmetric schemas and topic modeling to enhance contextual data from Points of Interest (POIs). Furthermore, a novel method for evaluating user preferences utilizing explicit demographic data is proposed to solve the cold start problem. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the superiority of the developed methodology in terms of RMSE, F-Score, MAP, and NDCG indexes on two different datasets (Yelp and Flickr).

Abuse-resistant deniable encryption
Yanmei Cao, Jianghong Wei, Yang Xiang, Willy Susilo, Xiaofeng Chen
Summary: Deniable encryption (DE) allows private communication even when adversaries force participants to reveal their secret keys. However, existing DE systems do not consider potential abuse by malicious users. This paper proposes an abuse-resistant DE scheme and provides formal definitions and security analysis. The proposed scheme outperforms existing work in terms of functionality and ciphertext rate.

A lattice-based public key encryption scheme with delegated equality test
Kaifeng Xiao, Xinjian Chen, Jianye Huang, Hongbo Li, Qiong Huang
Summary: Ordinary encryption techniques cannot meet the needs of comparing, sharing, and classifying data hidden in ciphertexts in the face of growing threats to data security. The advent of the quantum computing era has brought unprecedented challenges to traditional cryptography. Fortunately, a lattice-based PKEET scheme can solve these problems by providing satisfying anti-quantum computing security and resisting OMRA attacks. This paper presents a lattice-based PKE-DET scheme that supports delegated tester function and demonstrates security under the LWE hardness assumption in the standard model. The scheme offers advantages such as high security, delegated tester authorization, and small storage space compared to existing schemes.

An Identity-Based Encryption with Equality Test scheme for healthcare social apps
Jingwei Lu, Hongbo Li, Jianye Huang, Sha Ma, Man Ho Allen Au, Qiong Huang
Summary: This paper introduces public key encryption with equality test (PKEET) and identity-based encryption with equality test (IBEET) to address the problem of determining whether two ciphertexts contain the same message encrypted with different public keys, without decryption. The proposed IBEET scheme resists offline message recovery attacks (OMRA) and does not require the dual-tester setting or group mechanism. Security is demonstrated through mathematical assumptions, and experiment results show the efficiency of the scheme. From a usability perspective, the paper explains why the scheme is more suitable for healthcare social Apps compared to other OMRA-resistant schemes.

On Stablecoin: Ecosystem, architecture, mechanism and applicability as payment method
Dun Li, Dezhi Han, Tien-Hsiung Weng, Zibin Zheng, Hongzhi Li, Kuan-Ching Li
Summary: Stablecoins have facilitated the growth of decentralized payments and the emergence of a new generation of payment systems using cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology. However, the existing research lacks a comprehensive overview of Stablecoins that focuses on their full context, stabilization mechanisms, and payment applicability. This paper provides a thorough summary of the definition, current state, and ecosystem of Stablecoins. It discusses the system structure, stability mechanisms, and their applicability in payment scenarios. The study identifies asset-backed Stablecoins as the most efficient and widely used, while cryptocurrency-backed Stablecoins are more balanced in relation to the original concept. Algorithm-backed Stablecoins show significant potential for development but are hesitant due to the lack of collateral or deposit reserves, making them prone to collapse. The paper concludes by presenting possible future trends for Stablecoins.
