Data hiding is the process of embedding information in a video without changing its perceptual quality and also keep away from knowledge of existence of message. The article investigates creation and transformation of video steganographic channels via social network – Facebook, Youtube, cloud storage – Google Photos, Google Drive, WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber and Line. Keywords: video steganography, digital steganography, confidential information.

The Transformation from Text Big Data to Visual Short Video Big Data

The traditional text era has gradually declined, replaced by the boom of short video. In the rapid development of the Internet information age, people's interests and habits have begun to quietly change. Text newspapers and periodicals have become the past, and industry reform has become an irreversible trend. In this process, how to realize the visualization of text data and the transformation of big data is a topic that countless practitioners have been struggling to explore. In order to realize the transformation from text data to short video, the focus of the problem is to overturn the working mode of text data and build a new architecture based on the new trend of short video big data. Because of the limitations of text big data, there are inevitably many drawbacks in today's Internet society. Not only is the media backward, but also the content can no longer meet the needs of the majority of people. It has gradually been recognized as a "sunset industry" in society. On the other hand, short video big data not only caters to the needs and hobbies of the majority of people in the current trend, Moreover, it has made great progress on the development of technological innovation and mode innovation. Compared with each other, short video big data has incomparable advantages over text big data. It is not so much a competition between them as a new revolution of short video big data for text big data.

SAV6: A Novel Inter-AS Source Address Validation Protocol for IPv6 Internet

IP spoofing is prevalently used for anonymity and reflection attacks, e.g., distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which have shown increasingly destructive power in recent years because today's Internet lacks validation on source addresses. Moreover, the fast deployment of IPv6 on the Internet may further aggravate the damages of DDoS attacks. This paper proposes a novel source address validation mechanism called SAV6, which leverages the huge IPv6 address space to validate source addresses at an inter-autonomous system (AS) granularity. In SAV6, each IPv6 address contains an AS number (ASN), whose corresponding AS announces the prefix of the address to other ASes. An AS can determine the authenticity of the source address by whether the ASN in the address matches the corresponding prefix after receiving an incoming packet. The performance evaluation of a SAV6 prototype shows that it adds little performance overhead to the deployed infrastructures and is a lightweight and deployable protocol.

ChainDiscipline - Towards a Blockchain-IoT-Based Self-Sovereign Identity Management Framework

In today's complex Internet platform, online users need help to protect their online identity. Only sometimes, websites are very transparent about how user data will be collected, stored and processed by them. Sometimes Internet entities collect more online user information than required. These entities often share user identity-related data with third parties without consent. Existing traditional identity schemes need to be improved to stop and counter new ways of digital identity theft and fraud. Blockchain is a promising technology to strengthen the preservation of online users' digital identity due to its decentralised nature and robust data security features. In this paper, we proposed and implemented a generic blockchain- IoT-based self-sovereign identity management framework called ChainDiscipline. We have demonstrated the framework's oper- ability and functionality by implementing healthcare and smart home data management-based use cases.

Optimal Network Protocol Selection for Competing Flows via Online Learning

Today's Internet must support applications with increasingly dynamic and heterogeneous connectivity requirements, such as video streaming and the Internet of Things. Yet current network management practices generally rely on pre-specified network configurations, which may not be able to cope with dynamic application needs. Moreover, even the best-specified policies will find it difficult to cover all possible scenarios, given applications' increasing heterogeneity and dynamic network conditions, e.g., on volatile wireless links. In this work, we instead propose a model-free learning approach to find the optimal network policies for current network flow requirements. This approach is attractive as comprehensive models do not exist for how different policy choices affect flow performance under changing network conditions. However, it can raise new challenges for online learning algorithms: policy configurations can affect the performance of multiple flows sharing the same network resources, and this performance coupling limits the scalability and optimality of existing online learning algorithms. In this work, we extend multi-armed bandit frameworks to propose new online learning algorithms for protocol selection with provably sublinear regret under certain conditions. We validate the optimality and scalability of our algorithms through data-driven simulations and testbed experiments.

Packaging is an important marketing tool, not only as a wrapper but also as a differentiator between the company's products and similar products from competitors. Packaging (packaging) is a process related to the design and manufacture of a container (container) or wrapper (wrapper) for a product. Each product should have an attractive packaging design, containing information on the product name, company name, net weight, expiration date, composition, nutritional content, Indonesian National Standard or SNI, Hazard Analytical Critical Control Point (HACCP) and halal marking. 2. In making the packaging design there are aesthetic and identity factors, there should be the words and the Bananation logo, and use a combination of several colors, and add various images to make the packaging more colorful and catchy so that it is easier for everyone to remember. Security and distribution factors must also be a concern of the company without compromising aesthetic value by using corrugated paper type cardboard on the outside and food grade plastic material on the inside so that it is guaranteed durability in shipping and is also environmentally friendly

Persuasive cues and reciprocal behaviors in influencer-follower relationships: The mediating role of influencer defense

In today's internet ecosystem, social media influencers serve a central purpose in the creation of a compelling online presence that engages their followers. This study examines the impact of social attractiveness, physical attractiveness, attitude homophily, actual self-congruity, and parasocial interactivity on influencer defense and purchase intention in the context of beauty influencers. A total of 689 respondents were recruited using Sina Weibo, one of the largest social media platforms in China. The results demonstrate that physical attractiveness, attitude homophily, actual self-congruity, and parasocial interactivity are crucial in affecting influencer defense. However, only attitude homophily, actual self-congruity, and parasocial interactivity emerged as significant predictors of purchase intention. The findings afford insights that can further understanding of the influencer-follower relationship in the social media environment.

A Manifold View of Connectivity in the Private Backbone Networks of Hyperscalers

As hyperscalers such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon play an increasingly important role in today's Internet, they are also capable of manipulating probe packets that traverse their privately owned and operated backbones. As a result, standard traceroute-based measurement techniques are no longer a reliable means for assessing network connectivity in these global-scale cloud provider infrastructures. In response to these developments, we present a new empirical approach for elucidating connectivity in these private backbone networks. Our approach relies on using only "lightweight" (i.e., simple, easily interpretable, and readily available) measurements, but requires applying "heavyweight" mathematical techniques for analyzing these measurements. In particular, we describe a new method that uses network latency measurements and relies on concepts from Riemannian geometry (i.e., Ricci curvature) to assess the characteristics of the connectivity fabric of a given network infrastructure. We complement this method with a visualization tool that generates a novel manifold view of a network's delay space. We demonstrate our approach by utilizing latency measurements from available vantage points and virtual machines running in datacenters of three large cloud providers to study different aspects of connectivity in their private backbones and show how our generated manifold views enable us to expose and visualize critical aspects of this connectivity.

Making TCP BBR Pacing Adaptive With Domain Knowledge Assisted Reinforcement Learning

Congestion control algorithms (CCAs) are the fundamental building block of TCP protocol. As one of the newest CCAs, TCP BBR is designed to operate around Kleinrock's optimal point, i.e. maximum bandwidth and minimum delay, and is seeing increased adoption in today's Internet. However, BBR may send packets at a higher rate than the actual bandwidth due to bandwidth overestimation, especially under time-varying environments, resulting in large queueing delay. In this paper, we propose an adaptive BBR pacing algorithm, namely ABBR, for achieving high throughput and low delay simultaneously. ABBR uses deep reinforcement learning (DRL) techniques to train a highly performant agent through trial-and-error to infer the packet sending rate. The design of ABBR is deeply rooted in BBR domain knowledge in terms of data collection and decision-making. ABBR is implemented in Linux kernel and is backward compatible with vanilla BBR. Extensive experiments show that ABBR can reduce the delay by 40% with about 3% throughput loss on average compared with BBR. The best throughput-delay-overhead tradeoff is achieved in ABBR compared with the state-of-the-art CCAs.

Paul’s Pattern of Handling the Pop Culture Based on 1 Corinthians 9:19-27

The emergence of pop culture is inevitable and irresistible. Society in general will find it difficult to accept something new and tend to reject it until there are positives to be found. Despite the absence of any positive aspects, popular culture will continue to exist and evolve as long as a sufficient number of people in society have embraced it through the advanced information technology available on the internet today. After a particular notion or conviction has been acknowledged by specific segments of society, it becomes difficult for even the more established members of the community to question or disprove it. Refusing to accept the new culture, such as pop culture, could lead to social unrest and possibly even trigger conflicts. To ensure that the culture continues to exist and evolve in a regulated manner, it must be handled with appropriate and intelligent methods. Communication channels must be kept open to allow the Gospel to guide the development of the new culture in a constructive direction.

Design and implementation of computer network security protection system based on artificial intelligence technology

Abstract With the rapid development of the Internet, security issues are becoming more and more prominent, and since most information is transmitted through the Internet today, Internet security is particularly important. When the Internet was designed, only mutual compatibility and interoperability between networks were considered, and security issues were not fully considered. As a result, as the Internet continues to grow, security issues are becoming more and more serious. One of the more difficult attacks is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, which has many forms of attacks, is harmful, and is difficult to identify and defend. Therefore, building a global Internet security protection system to achieve effective protection against DDoS attacks is the main work of this research paper. In this paper, we propose an artificial intelligence DDoS attack protection system, which implements a controller and switch auto-detection model by extending the protocol and establishing an optimization model to realize a low-load and low-latency traffic monitoring scheme; for DDoS attacks. We propose the attack inspection algorithm SCVAE based on Variational Encoder (VAE) and Spectral Clustering. in order to mitigate DDoS attack traffic, the protection system uses the QoS traffic control method, builds the application flow hierarchy model, and filters the attack traffic endured by the system by setting the application flow bandwidth limit as well as the traffic priority dual policy. Finally, a Mininet-based simulation test environment is built to evaluate the model, and different test indexes are set for different system modules to evaluate their actual performance. The results of this paper show that in the network traffic monitoring test, the artificial intelligence DDoS attack protection algorithm can respond to the attack more quickly by reducing the average 73ms per sampling compared with other algorithms; in the attack traffic identification test, the comparison accuracy (P) is improved by 15.14%, the accuracy (AC) is improved by 13.26%, the recall (R) is reduced by 9.23%, and the F1 measurement criteria improved by 23%. The test verifies that the artificial intelligence DDoS attack protection system can achieve real-time monitoring of each performance parameter and also illustrates the feasibility and practicality of the research content of this paper, which strengthens the construction of the technical means of Internet security protection and further enhances the Internet security defense capability.

Debating New Media: Rewriting Communications History.

Many historians, journalists, and media mavens have traced the genealogy of Victorian communications networks backward, beginning with radio after World War I and continuing with personal computing in the 1980s and ending with the internet today. This impulse has accelerated with the rise of electronic commerce, social media, and virtual reality. This essay proposes a different agenda. Drawing on recent historical writing on mythmaking, materiality, and political economy and illustrated with case studies from Europe, North America, Asia, and North Africa, it reenvisions the history of new media by telling the story of Victorian communications networks in relation to the issues of their day, not ours. The essay spans five networks in the period between 1830 and 1914: the landline telegraph, the undersea cable, the telephone, the wireless telegraph, and the mail.
