Most of the existing security Mobicast routing protocols are not suitable for the monitoring applications with higher quality of service (QoS) requirement. A QoS dynamic clustering secure multicast scheme (QoS-DCSMS) based on Mobicast and multi-level IxTESLA protocol for large-scale tracking sensornets is presented in this paper. The multicast clusters are dynamically formed according to the real-time status of nodes, and the cluster-head node is responsible for status review and certificating management of cluster nodes to ensure the most optimized QoS and security of multicast in this scheme. Another contribution of this paper is the optimal QoS security authentication algorithm, which analyzes the relationship between the QoS and the level Mofmulti-level oTESLA. Based on the analysis and simulation results, it shows that the influence to the network survival cycle ('NSC) and real-time communication caused by energy consumption and latency in authentication is acceptable when the optimal QoS security authentication algorithm is satisfied.
Despite the large size of most communication and transportation systems, there are short paths between nodes in these networks which guarantee the efficient information, data and passenger delivery; furthermore these networks have a surprising tolerance under random errors thanks to their inherent scale-free topology. However, their scale-free topology also makes them fragile under intentional attacks, leaving us a challenge on how to improve the network robustness against intentional attacks without losing their strong tolerance under random errors and high message and passenger delivering capacity. Here We propose two methods (SL method and SH method) to enhance scale-free network's tolerance under attack in different conditions.
A scheme is proposed for quantum information splitting of a two-qubit Bell state by using a four-qubit entangled state as a quantum channel. In the scenario, it is supposed that there axe three legitimate parties, say Alice, Bob and Chaxlie. Alice is the sender of quantum information. Bob and Charlie are two agents. Alice first performs GHZ state measurement and tells Bob and Chaxlie the measurement results via a classical channel. It is impossible for Bob to reconstruct the original state with local operations unless help is obtained from Chaxlie. If Chaxlie allows Bob to reconstruct the original state information, he needs to perform a single-qubit measurement and tell Bob the measurement result. Using the measurement results from Alice and Charlie, Bob can reconstruct the original state. We also consider the problem of security attacks. This protocol is considered to be secure.
