2026 DCS-AMTD: Attention-Based Deep Compressed Sensing With Multiloss Optimization for IIoT Vibration Data
abstract
IIoT sensors collect large volumes of vibration time-series data at high sampling rates. These data are nonstationary and multi-scale and are essential for condition monitoring across different devices and operating conditions. Deep compression sensing reduces data volume while preserving critical information, enabling efficient and low-cost data processing in IIoT systems. However, existing methods for industrial time-series data processing struggle to preserve features effectively under stringent bandwidth and storage constraints. Moreover, most deep compression sensing models overlook computational limitations and robustness demands in noisy industrial settings. Therefore, we propose an Attention-Based Deep Compressed Sensing with Multi-Loss Optimization for IIoT Vibration Data (DCS-AMTD). The model achieves efficient compression and high-quality reconstruction while improving both resource efficiency and noise robustness. Specifically, we design a dual-path convolutional module that incorporates dilated convolutions to capture multi-scale local and global features. We design a one-dimensional convolutional block attention module (CBAM1D) for industrial vibration signals to dynamically reweight multi-scale features and enhance discriminative representations. Furthermore, we design a joint time-frequency loss with multi-domain constraints to improve reconstruction quality under strict bandwidth and computational constraints. Experiments on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and Paderborn (PB) datasets demonstrate that our method achieves superior reconstruction performance across various compression ratios, outperforming existing approaches.

2026 Search Me in the Dark: Access Pattern-Hidden Range Query Over Encrypted Spatial Data
abstract
With the widespread use of encrypted spatial data, many range query schemes emerge to address potential security risks caused by access pattern leakage. However, most existing schemes rely on a dual-server model to hide access patterns and often involve complex spatial relation judgments during range comparisons, leading to low query efficiency. To address these issues, we propose a novel Fast and Access Hidden Range Query (FAHRQ) scheme. First, we introduce an efficient range membership verification technique based on Bloom filters and Lagrange interpolation function, combine homomorphic encryption to ensure the confidentiality of spatial data and the computational flexibility of related operations, and realize the access pattern hidden under single server. Then, we construct an index using R-tree and employ Bloom filters and prefix 0-1 encoding to accelerate the minimum bounding rectangle intersection judgment, enabling secure and efficient range queries over encrypted spatial data while maintaining retrieval accuracy. Finally, we give a formal security analysis to show that our scheme achieves access pattern hidden while protecting data security, and conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate that our scheme improves query efficiency by 5 – 7× compared to existing schemes.

2026 Robust SFC Placement in Next Generation Multi-Domain IoT Networks Under Resource Demand Uncertainty
abstract
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) facilitates on-demand and flexible service provisioning to meet the escalating demands of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, enabled by Service Function Chain (SFC) technique. The widespread deployment of 5G has connected a massive number of devices and users to IoT networks, accelerating the expansion of IoT scales. IoT users’ service requirements exhibit heightened diversity and dynamism. Consequently, the SFC placement problem in Next Generation Multi-domain IoT (NGMIoT) networks has garnered significant attention. How to efficiently place SFCs under uncertain resource demands to adapt to evolving service request dynamics poses substantial challenges. Therefore, this paper investigates the Robust SFC Placement (RSFCP) problem in NGMIoT networks under resource demand uncertainty. Specifically, we formulate the RSFCP problem as an integer linear programming model to minimize overall SFC placement cost while ensuring service quality. We further prove the RSFCP problem is NP-hard and propose a greedy strategy based heuristic SFC placement algorithm to solve it. Finally, extensive simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate performance, demonstrating that the proposed algorithm outperforms benchmark mechanisms in terms of service acceptance rate and placement cost.

2025 A Lightweight and Fine-Grained Ciphertext Search Scheme for Big Data Assisted by Proxy Servers
abstract
In big data scenarios, the data volume is enormous. Data computation and storage in distributed manner with more efficient algorithms is promising. However, most current ciphertext search schemes are designed for the centralized cloud computing platforms and they are inefficient and inapplicable in big data scenarios. A proxy server based system is a cloud computing extension. This new pattern moves some of the data storage and computation burden from end users to the edge servers and it greatly decrease the resource costs of data users. In this paper, we propose a searchable encryption scheme assisted by cloud computing and proxy servers for big data, which can accomplish Lightweight Fine-grained access control and Efficient multi-keyword top-k ciphertext Search synchronously (LFES). To cope with all types of data, we design an innovative fine-grained access control mechanism based on attribute-based encryption and key distribution protocol. Thus, the scheme only allows users with licensed attributes to access data efficiently. Then, a public key searchable encryption scheme is proposed based on privacy Protection Set Intersection (PSI) and the proxy server model. Our scheme greatly reduces the computation burden on end-users and improves retrieval efficiency. Meanwhile, to prevent tampering with stored ciphertexts, a practical data integrity audit mechanism is also designed. Security analysis illustrates that the LFES can resist Chosen Keyword Attack (CKA) and Keyword Guessing Attack (KGA). Finally, the simulation shows that the LFES is efficient and feasible in practice.

2022 An efficient multikeyword fuzzy ciphertext retrieval scheme based on distributed transmission for Internet of Things
abstract
As traditional computing and cloud computing integrate, the Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved into a layered and cloud-network-edge-end architecture. However, most searchable encryption models still use triples, in which hierarchical structures are neglected, and insecure intermediate nodes are exposed to external environment. Meanwhile, mainstream schemes adopting accurate retrieval are incompatible with IoT end users' features of differentiation. To address these issues, we innovatively design an efficient and credible search model with an accurate multikeyword fuzzy ciphertext retrieval scheme in the context of IoT. First, based on network coding and key sharing, data are grouped, encoded, and transmitted in parallel to the receiver node through middle-layer nodes, with high efficiency and reliability. Second, to realize fuzzy retrieval of IoT, edit distance is selected as the standard of difference between keywords, and then document index vector and query vector are created based on locality sensitive hashing (LSH) and Bloom Filter. Furthermore, to improve the traditional scheme, query keywords are split into multiple single-word forms, inner products between each trapdoor of single word and encryption index vector are calculated, respectively, for the sum of each inner product and thus top $\mathrm{top}$ - k $k$ sorting search. Ultimately, feasibility, safety, and efficiency of our improved scheme are verified by security analysis, while simulation results support that our scheme has better accuracy and efficiency.
