چکیده

Service on-demand (SoD) systems allow their users to regulate the sharing of common resources via a voting process. A common application example is the collaborative scheduling of multimedia transmissions in e-radio or video streaming services. Therefore, high user commitment and participation is critical to the success of a SoD system. Securing a SoD system against common attacks, such as vote flooding, can impose client anonymity retraction, online registering and access control mechanisms. Nonetheless, such processes can degrade the users’ quality of experience, discouraging user participation. The present study proposes a defense mechanism against vote flooding attacks that can operate under complete vote anonymity and without any user access restrictions. The novel scheme is implemented as a vote filtering scheme, executed prior to each service scheduling decision. The proposed scheme has linear complexity and is shown via simulations to considerably mitigate or completely negate the effects of several attacks types.

Smart City Reference Model: Interconnectivity for On-Demand User to Service Authentication

The Internet of Things and Services (IoTS) has encouraged the development of service provisioning systems in respect to Smart City topics. Most of them are operated as heterogeneous systems which limits end customers’ access and contradicts with IoTS principles. In this paper, we discuss and develop a reference model of an interconnected service marketplace ecosystem. The prototypical implement...

Technical Report: Privacy-Enhanced Bi-Directional Communication in the Smart Grid

Although privacy concerns in smart metering have been widely studied, relatively little attention has been given to privacy in bi-directional communication between consumers and service providers. Full bi-directional communication is necessary for incentive-based demand response (DR) protocols, such as demand bidding, in which consumers bid to reduce their energy consumption. However, this can ...

Predicting Agent Trustworthiness for Large-Scale Power Demand Shifting

A variety of multiagent systems methods has been proposed for forming cooperatives of interconnected agents representing electricity producers or consumers in the Smart Grid. One major problem that arises in this domain is assessing participating agents’ uncertainty, and correctly predicting their future behaviour regarding power consumption shifting actions. In this paper we adopt two stochast...

Stochastic Filtering Methods for Predicting Agent Performance in the Smart Grid

A variety of multiagent systems methods has been proposed for forming cooperatives of interconnected agents representing electricity producers or consumers in the Smart Grid. One major problem that arises in this domain is assessing participating agents uncertainty, and correctly predicting their future behaviour. In this paper, we adopt two stochastic filtering techniques —the Unscented Kalman...
