Improved Authenticated Multi-Key Agreement Protocol

Zhou et al give an attack on Ham＇s modified authenticated multi-key agreement protocol, and give a protocol that can prevent the unknown key-share attack. The paper points out that the protocol is vulnerable to a concatenation attack. This paper proposes an improved authenticated multi-key agreement protocol which shows how to make Harn＇s protocol more secure by modifying the signature and verification. And this protocol can escape the concatenation attack.

This paper focuses on the problem of integer programming, and describes an evolutionary soft a-gent model to solve it. In proposed model, agent is composed of three components: goal, environment and behavior. Experimental shows the model has the characters of parallel computing and goal driving.

A Secure Anonymous Internet Electronic Voting Scheme Based on the Polynomial

In this paper, we use the polynomial function and Chaum＇s RSA （Rivest, Shamir, Adleman） blind signature scheme to construct a secure anonymous internet electronic voting scheme. In our scheme, each vote does not need to be revealed in the tallying phase. The ballot number of each candidate gets is counted by computing the degrees of two polynomials＇ greatest common divisor. Our scheme does not require a special voting channel and communication can occur entirely over the current internet.     

Study on the action of sodium selenite on the mitochondria metabolism of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Carassius auratus</Emphasis> hybrid carps liver by microcalorimetry

By using an LKB-2277 bioactivity monitor and ampoule method, the fundamental thermogenesis curves of the metabolic process of liver mitochondria fromCarassius auratus hybrid carps and the toxic effect of Na₂SeO₃ on it were studied at 28°C. From the thermogenesis curves, the thermokinetic equations were established under different condition. The kinetics show that Na₂SeO₃ has toxic action on the metabolism process ofCarassius auratus hybrid carps liver mitochondria.

Dynamic Vector Space Secret Sharing Based on Certificates

A vector space secret sharing scheme based on certificates is proposed in this paper. The difficulties of solving discrete logarithm assure confidential information＇s security, and the use of each participant＇s certificate makes the dealer have no need to transfer secret information to the participants. The proposed scheme is dynamic. It can effectively check cheaters and does not have secure channel requirements.     

Verifiable （ t, n） Threshold Signature Scheme Based on Elliptic Curve

Based on the difficulty of solving the ECDLP (elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem) on the finite field, we present a (t, n) threshold signature scheme and a verifiable key agreement scheme without trusted party. Applying a modified elliptic curve signature equation, we get a more efficient signature scheme than the existing ECDSA (ellipticcurve digital signature algorithm) from the computability and security view. Our scheme has a shorter key, faster computation, and better security.     

Cryptanalysis of the One-Time Proxy Signature Scheme Used in Mobile Agents

We cryptanalyze Kim et al ‘ s onetime proxy signature scheme used in mobile agents, and then a successful forgery is introduced. It is showed that a dishonest customer can successfully forge a va[id onetime proxy signature by impersonating the server. Furthermore, he can request the server with responsibility for the forged bidding information.     

A New （ t, n） Threshold Signature Scheme Withstanding the Conspiracy Attack

A conspiracy attack is proposed to show that Wang-Li‘s scheme is insecure, because any t or more group members can impersonate other t members to sign any message without holding the responsibility. To avoid the conspiracy attack, this paper presents a new (t, n) threshold signature scheme with traceable signers.

A family of binary sequences were constructed by using an elliptic curve and its twisted curves over finite fields.

A Requirements Engineering Environment for Embedded Real-Time Software—SREE

The paper presents the embedded real-time software-oriented requirements engineering environment—SREZ. It involves the whole process of software requirements engineering, including the definition, analysis and checking of requirements ,specifications.

At last, we compare the SREE with other requirements specifications methods and make a summary for SREE＇s advantages.     

Singularity detecting with the second generation wavelet

Adopting the lifting scheme, introduced by Sweldens, a new wavelet is constructed. It overcomes the shortcoming of the classical wavelets that has no flexibility in the number of vanishing moment. Two examples are given to prove the second-generation wavelets‘s potentialities in the singularity detection of signal: a wavelet with vanishing moment and symmetry can be constructed according to the problem.     

A Neural Network Approach for Misuse and Anomaly Intrusion Detection

An MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron)/ Elman neural network is proposed in this paper, which realizes classification with memory of past events using the real-time classification of MI.P and the memorial functionality of Elman. The system‘s sensitivity for the memory of past events can be easily reconfigured without retraining the whole network. This approach can be used for both misuse and anomaly detection system. The intrusion detection systems(IDSs) using the hybrid MLP/Elman neural network are evaluated by the intrusion detection evaluation data sponsored by U. S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The results of experiment are presented in Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. The capabilites of these IDSs to identify Deny of Service(DOS) and probing attacks are enhanced.

This paper discusses a re-examinatlon of dual methods based on Gomory＇s cutting plane for the solution of the integer programming problem, in which the increment of objection function is allowed as a pivot variable to decide the search direction and stepsize. Meanwhile, we adopt the current equivalent face technique so that lattices are found in the discrete integral face and stronger valid inequalities are acquired easily.
