内容中心网络的DoS攻击研究

“内容中心网络”(Content Centric Networking,CCN)是未来互联网架构体系群中极具前景的架构之一。CCN的核心思想在于内容命名,即用户不需要根据数据的地址而仅根据数据的名字来获取目标内容。在设计上,CCN是一种基于拉(pull-based)的网络,即用户为了获取相应的内容,必须向网络发送一个兴趣包(Interest)以便获取同名数据包(Data),也就是说CCN是一个用户驱动的网络。安全对任何一种网络架构来说,都是不容忽视的一个问题,其中,拒绝服务攻击(DoS)是TCP/IP网络中最为常见的攻击手法之一,这里研究了CCN中常见的DoS攻击,并提出了具有针对性的解决方案。     

Practical cross‐layer routing and channel assignment in cognitive radio ad hoc networks

In the heterogeneous and unreliable channel environment of cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs), a multipath route with channel assigned is preferable in both throughput and reliability. The cross‐layer multipath routing and channel assignment in CRAHNs is becoming a challenging issue. In this paper, this problem is characterized, formulated, and shown to be in the form of mixed integer programming. For this Non‐deterministic Polynomial‐time (NP)‐hard problem, the deficiency of the widely used linearization and sequential fixing algorithm is first analyzed. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a new backtracking algorithm with feasibility checking to search optimal solutions and a heuristic algorithm with high feasible solution‐obtained probability (HHFOP) for distributed application in CRAHNs. Through feasibility checking and solution bounds validating, backtracking algorithm with feasibility checking cuts off unnecessary searching space in early stage without loss of optimal solutions, making it much more efficient than brute searching. For practical application in CRAHNs with polynomial complexity, HHFOP first computes the maximal‐supported throughput through link‐channel assignment and link‐capacity coordination for each candidate path. Then the paths are combined, and the route throughput is optimized. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that HHFOP can achieve a high feasible solution‐obtained probability with little throughput degradation compared with linearization and sequential fixing algorithm, indicating its practicability for distributed applications in CRAHNs.

MQBV: multicast quality of service swarm bee routing for vehicular ad hoc networks

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are witnessing in recent years a rapid development for road transmissions and are considered as one of the most important types of next generation networks, in which drivers can have access anywhere and anytime to information. However, vehicles have to deal with many challenges such as the links failures due to their frequent mobility as well as limited degrees of freedom in their mobility patterns. In this paper, we propose a new quality of service multicast and multipath routing protocol for VANETs, based on the paradigm of bee's communication, called multicast quality of service swarm bee routing for VANETs (MQBV). The MQBV finds and maintains robust routes between the source node and all multicast group members. Therefore, the average end‐to‐end delay and the normalized overhead load should be reduced, while at the same time increasing the average bandwidth and the packet delivery ratio. Extensive simulation results were obtained using ns‐2 simulator in a realistic VANET settings and demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed protocol. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An altruistic cross‐layer recovering mechanism for ad hoc wireless networks

Video streaming services have restrictive delay and bandwidth constraints. Ad hoc networks represent a hostile environment for this kind of real‐time data transmission. Emerging mesh networks, where a backbone provides more topological stability, do not even assure a high quality of experience. In such scenario, mobility of terminal nodes causes link breakages until a new route is calculated. In the meanwhile, lost packets cause annoying video interruptions to the receiver. This paper proposes a new mechanism of recovering lost packets by means of caching overheard packets in neighbor nodes and retransmit them to destination. Moreover, an optimization is shown, which involves a video‐aware cache in order to recover full frames and prioritize more significant frames. Results show the improvement in reception, increasing the throughput as well as video quality, whereas larger video interruptions are considerably reduced.

Phytochemical Profiling of Lavandula coronopifolia Poir. Aerial Parts Extract and Its Larvicidal,Antibacterial, and Antibiofilm Activity Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Infections associated with the emergence of multidrug resistance and mosquito-borne diseases have resulted in serious crises associated with high mortality and left behind a huge socioeconomic burden. The chemical investigation of Lavandula coronopifolia aerial parts extract using HPLC–MS/MS led to the tentative identification of 46 compounds belonging to phenolic acids, flavonoids and their glycosides, and biflavonoids. The extract displayed larvicidal activity against Culex pipiens larvae (LC₅₀ = 29.08 µg/mL at 72 h). It significantly inhibited cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase (CYP450), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and carboxylesterase (CarE) enzymes with the comparable pattern to the control group, which could explain the mode of larvae toxification. The extract also inhibited the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 17–38% at different Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) (0.5–0.125 mg/mL) while the activity was doubled when combined with ciprofloxacin (ratio = 1:1 v:v). In conclusion, the wild plant, L. coronopifolia, can be considered a promising natural source against resistant bacteria and infectious carriers.     

Aloe djiboutiensis: Antioxidant Activity,Molecular Networking-Based Approach and In Vivo Toxicity of This Endemic Species in Djibouti

For the first time, the study of the antioxidant activity, the characterization of the phytoconstituants, and the evaluation of in vitro and in vivo toxicity of A. djiboutiensis leave and latex are performed. The antioxidant activity of both latex (ADL) and the methanolic extract of leaves (ADM) is determined using 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) scavenging radical methods and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. The phytochemical study of latex is done using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and a molecular networking-based approach. The evaluation of in vivo toxicity is performed on mice by oral gavage with a suspension of ADL. Our results show that weak antioxidant activity of ADL and ADM in opposition to their high polyphenol, 83.01 mg and 46.4 mg expressed in gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of dry weight (DW), respectively, and flavonoid contents 13.12 mg and 4.25 mg expressed in quercetin equivalent (QE)/g dry weight (DW), respectively. Using the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) website, nine (9) anthraquinones derivatives, ten (10) chromones derivatives, two (2) flavonols/ chromones isomers are annotated in the molecular network. The treated mice do not display abnormalities in their general physical appearance and biochemistry parameters, compared to the controls. Only glucose and calcium levels are slightly higher in male treated mice compared to the vehicles.     

Power-aware routing based on DSR for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks

Energy consumption is a crucial design concern in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks （MANETs） since nodes are powered by batteries with limited energy, whereas Dynamic Source Routing （DSR） protocol does not take the energy limitation of MANET nodes into account. This paper proposes an energy-saving routing algorithm based on DSR： Power Aware Routing protocol based on DSR （PAR-DSR）. The design objective of PAR-DSR is to select energy-efficient paths. The main features of PAR-DSR are： （1） Nodes use the Signal Attenuation Rate （SAR） to conduct power control operations; （2） Minimum path cost as metric to balance the traffic and energy consumption of wireless nodes. The simulation results show that PAR-DSR can greatly reduce the energy consumption of MANET nodes. The average node lifetime of PAR-DSR is 50%-77% longer than that of DSR.
