An Improved Identity-Based Ring Signcryption Scheme

Abstract

Biometrics can be defined as science by which an individual is identified through analyses of physical data and behavioral characteristics.¹ The measurement of an individual's characteristics quantifies his or her physical, behavioral characteristics. The physically unique characteristics include, but are not limited to, fingerprints, hand or palm geometry, retina or iris scans, voice or facial characteristics, keystroke patterns, and gait. These presumably unique characteristics are used, in turn, to recognize (identify), authenticate, deny, or grant access based on the individual's characteristics.     

The consequences of pairing questions: Context effects in personality measurement.

The effect of context on responses to questions has been a prominent focus in social and political survey research. However, little investigation of context effects has been done for the measurement of psychological constructs. A measure of anger experience and expression in development uses vignettes describing interpersonal situations that provoke varying degrees of anger and require respondents to indicate their affective and/or expressive response to the situation. In this study, the consequences of pairing the two questions for each vignette are investigated. Pairing the anger-experience and likelihood-of-expression questions changes the item's context. Item response theory analysis similar to that used to detect differential item functioning was performed. For some of the items, responding to a single or paired question affected the extremity of responses. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for personality measurement.

多FACTS元件控制变量配对方法与协调投运策略

多个灵活交流输电系统(FACTS)元件接入系统中各FACTS元件控制器间存在负的交互影响。针对已有的变量配对方法和交互影响分析方法存在的局限和不足,根据NI指数理论,提出适用于大规模、多变量的基于NI指数的多控制变量配对方法,运用该方法找到使得控制器间交互影响最小的控制变量最优配对组合。通过对最优配对组合进行分析,得到最优配对组合中与交互影响的严重程度关系最大的一组输入-输出变量。依据这一关系,制定出相应的多FACTS元件协调投入控制策略。以第二代串联型FACTS元件——静止同步串联补偿器(SSSC)为例,通过仿真系统的计算与分析,证明了所提出的多控制变量配对方法的可行性;并利用PSCAD搭建了含多个SSSC元件的系统进行仿真验证,证明了所制定的协调投运策略是可行、实用的。     

公平的多方并发签名方案

Tonien等在ISC2006上首次提出了多方并发签名体制,但Xie和谭指出Tonien等的方案并不满足公平性,进而分别重新构造了多方并发签名方案。分别对Xie和谭的多方并发签名方案进行了分析,指出他们的方案也不满足公平性,进而正式定义了公平多方并发签名的安全模型,并基于双线性对及多方密钥协商技术重新构造了一个多方并发签名方案。分析表明,在随机预言模型下,假设CDH问题是难解的,新方案同时满足正确性、不可伪造性、模糊性、并发性和公平性,并且与同类方案相比,新方案在签名长度、计算量、通信代价方面效率较高。

Fault Attack on a Point Blinding Countermeasure of Pairing Algorithms

Recently, Page and Vercauteren proposed a fault attack on pairing algorithms and two countermeasures against such an attack. The countermeasure uses either a random scalar or a random point to blind the input points. To defeat the countermeasure using a random point, we utilize the point addition formula on an elliptic curve. As a result, we successfully defeat the countermeasure using a random point.     

Energy efficiency based multi-relay selection and power allocation in OFDM cooperation networks

Getting along with the improvement of green communications, the energy efficiency （EE） of wireless network becomes more and more important. However, in nmlti-relay-assisted systems, the related work obviously depends on the end-to-end performance, whereas EE of relays has not attracted enough attention. The authors propose an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） multi-relay system based on amplify and forward （AF） mode. Taking incorporating EE and remaining energy as factor, decision criteria of attending cooperation is designed. The EE based asynchronous power iteration method is presented, and the existence and convergence of nash equilibrium （NE） is proven. Furthermore, a joint algorithm in subcarrier pairing, relay selection and power allocation is given. Genetic algorithm （GA） and iteration method are integrated to improve the convergence speed additionally. Simulation demonstrates the obvious improvement of EE, decrease of power consumption and increase of lifetime in relays of this algorithm with the constraint of minimum data transmission rate.     

Enhanced Electron Mobility Due to Dopant‐Defect Pairing in Conductive ZnMgO

The increase of the band gap in Zn_1‐xMg_xO alloys with added Mg facilitates tunable control of the conduction band alignment and the Fermi‐level position in oxide‐heterostructures. However, the maximal conductivity achievable by doping decreases considerably at higher Mg compositions, which limits practical application as a wide‐gap transparent conductive oxide. In this work, first‐principles calculations and material synthesis and characterization are combined to show that the leading cause of the conductivity decrease is the increased formation of acceptor‐like compensating intrinsic defects, such as zinc vacancies (V_Zn), which reduce the free electron concentration and decrease the mobility through ionized impurity scattering. Following the expectation that non‐equilibrium deposition techniques should create a more random distribution of oppositely charged dopants and defects compared to the thermodynamic limit, the paring between dopant Ga_Zn and intrinsic defects V_Zn is studied as a means to reduce the ionized impurity scattering. Indeed, the post‐deposition annealing of Ga‐doped Zn_0.7Mg_0.3O films grown by pulsed laser deposition increases the mobility by 50% resulting in a conductivity as high as σ = 475 S cm^‐1.
