代理多重门限签名方案

代理多重签名可以实现一个代理签名同时代表多个原始签名者,门限签名方案,签名的生成不需要所有成员的参与只要部分成员参与就可形成有效的签名,将这两种签名方式结合,构造一个代理多重门限签名方案。该方案既具有代理权的多重性,又具有门限的灵活性和安全性。同时,利用前向安全的特性,对代理密钥进行时间性的更新,既保证了方案的安全性,又对代理权的有效时间进行控制。     

消息保密的代理签名方案的安全性分析与改进

通过对一种消息保密的代理签名方案进行安全性分析，发现原始签名人和盲签名的接收者可以在互不泄漏对方秘密的情况下合谋篡改待签名的消息并伪造代理签名，并且代理人可以滥用代理权。为此，通过将代理签名密钥转换为Schnorr签名，并利用授权证书给出了改进方案，可防止代理人滥用代理权和抵制原始签名人和盲签名的接收者合谋攻击，克服了这种方案的缺点，同时具备这种方案的其它安全性要求。     

可收回代理权的公平盲代理盲签名方案

提出了一个具有可收回代理权特性的公平盲代理盲签名方案。该方案能安全收回代理签名权,克服目前许多代理签名方案代理签名权难以收回的缺陷,同时在代理签名权收回后,以前的有效代理签名仍能得到验证。该方案既保障了原始签名人的权益,又保护了代理签名人的隐私,更好地体现了公平性原则。由于方案能保证代理签名人每次以不同的别名进行有效的签名,因此还具有很好的使用灵活性。     

可收回代理权的代理签名方案

给出一种可收回代理权的代理签名方案,它具有一些代理签名方案的新特点:可回收性和可追查性.这个方案具有在原始签名者需要时,收回某个代理签名者代理权的特性.另外,当出现争议时,验证者可通过代理群管理员追查出代理签名者的身份,因此可以间接起到对代理签名者的监督,有效防止代理签名者签名权利的滥用.     

有效的安全代理签名方案

对Marebo—Usuda—Okamoto的代理签名方案进行分析，并指出其方案存在的问题与不足；然后设计出了一个具有代理权限与时间限制以及防止代理转移的安全代理签名方案；最后对方案进行了分析。     

指定验证人的(t,n)门限代理签名方案

将指定验证人概念引入门限代理签名,提出了一个指定验证人的(t,n)门限代理签名方案.该方案不仅实现了门限代理签名,而且还能实现只有指定验证人一起才能验证门限代理签名的特性.在普通的门限代理签名方案中,任何人都能验证门限代理签名的有效性.然而,在某些情况下,只希望指定的验证人一起才能验证门限代理签名.这在实际中是需要的,如电子商务中的电子投标等.另外,该方案还具有在原始签名人需要时,收回某个代理签名人代理权的特性.     

一个基于双线性对的前向安全的代理签名方案

提出了一个基于双线性时的前向安全的代理签名方案,方案能实现即使代理签名人的密钥被泄露,之前所产生的代理签名依然有效.该方案是基于双线性签名体制构造的,具有签字短、安全、高效等优点,不仅能有效抵制任何第三方和原始签名人的伪造攻击和代理签名人的代理权滥用,而且能满足强代理的一切性质.最后,对所提出方案的安全性做了详细分析和讨论.     

一种性能良好的基于椭圆曲线上的代理签名方案

提出一种基于椭圆曲线离散对数问题的代理签名方案。新方案除满足代理签名的七条基本性质外,还对目前已有的代理签名方案中尚未很好解决的问题——代理权滥用进行了有效的控制。在新方案中,若代理签名人签名超过证书上规定的次数,则他的私钥就会被破解（对原始签名人无影响）,从而真正做到了对签名代理权的控制。另外,新方案基于椭圆曲线,且整个过程参与方少,具有安全性高、密钥量小、便于实现等优点。     

代理权可撤销的前向安全多重代理签名方案*

基于前向安全签名的思想,提出了一个代理权受保护的前向安全多重代理签名方案。该方案满足代理签名的五个安全需求：可验证性、强不可伪造性、强可识别性、强不可否认性、代理签名的可区分性;新的方案同时保护了代理签名人和原始签名人的权益,还具有前向安全性。分析表明该方案是安全且可行的。     

基于零知识签名的代理签名方案

在代理签名方案中，原始签名人将其签名权委托给代理签名人，代理签名人代表原始签名人行使签名权。许多基于Schnorr签名的代理签名方案被提出。但是，其中有一些方案存在着原始签名人假冒代理签名人、伪造代理签名的安全问题。首次使用零知识数字签名的方式进行代理签名，分别提出了两个带有授权书的、保护代理人的代理签名和多重代理签名方案。这两个方案不仅具有强可区分性、强不可否认性，而且具有强不可伪造性，能抵抗原始签名人假冒代理签名人、伪造代理签名攻击。我们的方法可以应用到存在原始签名人伪造的其他E1Gamal类代理签名方案。     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services

In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services (DAS). Though, particularly in data-intensive applications, using and developing DAS are very common today, the link between the DAS and their implementation, e.g. a layer of data access objects (DAOs) encapsulating the database queries, still is not sufficiently elaborated, yet. As a result, as the number of DAS grows, finding the desired DAS for reuse and/or associated documentation can become an impossible task. In this paper we focus on bridging this gap between the DAS and their implementation by presenting a view-based, model-driven data access architecture (VMDA) managing models of the DAS, DAOs and database queries in a queryable manner. Our models support tailored views of different stakeholders and are scalable with all types of DAS implementations. In this paper we show that our view-based and model driven architecture approach can enhance software development productivity and maintainability by improving DAS documentation. Moreover, our VMDA opens a wide range of applications such as evaluating DAS usage for DAS performance optimization. Furthermore, we provide tool support and illustrate the applicability of our VMDA in a large-scale case study. Finally, we quantitatively prove that our approach performs with acceptable response times.     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

A pragmatic multi-method investigation of discrepant technological events: Coping,attributions, and ‘accidental’ learning

Discrepant technological events or situations that entail a problem, a misunderstanding or a difficulty with the Information Technology (IT) being employed, are common in the workplace, and can lead to frustration and avoidance behaviors. Little is known, however, about how individuals cope with these events. This paper examines these events by using a multi-method pragmatic approach informed by coping theory. The results of two studies – a critical incident study and an experiment – serve to build and test, respectively, a theoretical model that posits that individuals use a variety of strategies when dealing with these events: they experience negative emotions, make external attributions, and adopt engagement coping strategies directed at solving the event, eventually switching to a disengagement coping strategy when they feel they have no control over the situation. Furthermore, users’ efforts may result in ‘accidental’ learning as they try to overcome the discrepant IT events through engagement coping. The paper ends with a discussion of the results in light of existing literature, future opportunities for research, and implications for practice.
