  • Publication number: 20240283801
    Abstract: The invention discloses a blockchain-based intrusion detection system for railway signal, which is built on a blockchain's distributed chain structure, without a central, trusted control center. This design mitigates the vulnerabilities associated with centralized intrusion detection centers. Additionally, by utilizing a blockchain-based distributed structure, it also eliminates the risk of a single point of failure for the intrusion detection center. Moreover, the data within the blockchain-based intrusion detection system is highly resistant to malicious tampering. This is achieved by leveraging the consensus mechanism inherent in the blockchain, which can achieve consensus among intrusion detection nodes. The current invention solves the internal evil attacks and avoid the inability to reach consensus between nodes due to internal evil, thereby affecting the intrusion detection performance; at the same time, the intrusion detection model can resist external network attacks.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include capturing, by a computing device, a current position of a wearable device and a current position of user eye gaze at a current time. The method may also include determining that a user eye gaze is at a fixation position based on a speed of gaze movement. Additionally, the method may include calculating a direction of cursor movement by comparing a current cursor position with a previous cursor position at a previous time. Furthermore, the method may include calculating a likelihood of the fixation position being a target cursor position based on a difference between the direction of cursor movement and a direction from the current cursor position to the fixation position. Finally, the method may include increasing a speed of cursor movement toward the fixation position based on the likelihood.
