Typical Security Issues Research Articles

A survey: Typical security issues of software-defined networking

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been a hot topic for future network development, which implements the different layers of control plane and data plane respectively. Despite providing high openness and programmability, the three-layer two-interface architecture of SDN changes the traditional network and increases the network attack nodes, which results in new security issues. In this paper, we firstly introduced the background, architecture and working process of SDN. Secondly, we summarized and analyzed the typical security issues from north to south: application layer, northbound interface, control layer, southbound interface and data layer. Another contribution is to review and analyze the existing solutions and latest research progress of each layer, mainly including: authorized authentication module, application isolation, DoS/DDoS defense, multi-controller deployment and flow rule consistency detection. Finally, a conclusion about the future works of SDN security and an idealized global security architecture is proposed.

Abnormal Detection of Electric Security Data based on Scenario Modeling

Abnormal detection is an important task to ensure the stable running of the electric power system. In this paper, an abnormal detection framework for electric security data is proposed based on scenario modeling that supplies the descriptions of typical security issues. In this framework, the electric power system security-related data is first collected from different resources in real time. Then we create a scenario model based on the historical data for the typical security issues such as warning, system error or fatal error using the association rule mining algorithms. Then multiple scenario models are tagged with indicators that are observable from the sensors or monitors. Finally, the real-time data is analyzed to detect the defined indicators based on which the possible security scenarios are predicted and corresponding operation or protection will be activated automatically. The experiment results suggest that the proposed method can effectively identify and prevent the many of the common issues in the electric system.

The verifiable secure schemes for resisting attacks in cloud deduplication services

Data deduplication is an impactful technology in cloud storage services which permits the cloud side to save the storage space by eliminating the duplicated data. In this paper, we study the risk of deduplication in cloud storage services. Two typical security issues on how clients can be cheated are demonstrated and analysed. Those attacks may result in data losses to the clients. We therefore propose two mechanisms that make the verification of data deduplication feasible. The proposed verification models can effectively reduce the risk of data deduplication.

Secure wireless communication system for smart grid with rechargeable electric vehicles

Current transportation systems are emitting a considerable amount of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. The recent advances in the fuel cell battery is making the zero-carbon electric vehicle (EV) increasingly practical for the commercial market. However, mass use of EVs requires support from a powerful and robust power grid that can efficiently generate, aggregate, and distribute a large amount of energy in real time with low carbon emission. Such a system calls for the application of modern communication technologies that inherently suffer from various cyber attacks. Attacks against the communication system in smart grid can cause catastrophic damage to the highly interdependent smart grid users. In this article, we first propose a smart grid model for supporting mass EV use, then introduce some typical security issues in the communication system, especially for the wireless security in such a smart grid. We mainly introduce two types of security protocols: key agreement from wireless channel estimation and jamming-resilient communication.
