A secure message delivery scheme with path tracking for delay tolerant networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In delay tolerant networks (DTNs), message delivery is operated in an opportunistic way through store-carry and forward relaying, and every DTN node is in anticipation of cooperation for data forwarding from others. Unfortunately, there always exist some selfish nodes that are reluctant to contribute to this cooperative data forwarding procedure so as to save their valuable storage buffer, limited computation power and precious energy. In order to stimulate nodes' willingness to participate in data forwarding, a number of incentive schemes have been proposed recently. However, most existing incentive schemes simply ignore efforts of nodes involved in message delivery if messages delivered fail to reach their destinations. Due to the nature of DTN, such as intermittent connectivity, it is not unusual to have unreliable message delivery, which results in unrewarded or wasted efforts for participating nodes and may discourage them from participating in future data forwarding. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize contribution of every node involved in a data forwarding procedure even the message it helps to forward doesn't successfully reach its destination. However, how to track all delivery paths so as to give every intermediate node some incentive for their cooperative efforts of data forwarding is still an open research problem. To address this problem, we propose a secure message forwarding scheme with path tracking. The proposed method is end-to-end secure with data source and identity authentication. In addition, it can thwart some well known attacks including edge inserting attack, sibling inserting attack and free riding attack.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
