« ‘A flat dichotomist’ : Critique marlovienne de la méthode ramiste » by Laetitia Sansonetti

“…While Ramus’s avowed aim was to promote a form of universal logic built on method (meaning for him the “order” or “disposition” of ideas from the simple to the complex ones) and syllogistic division, “Ramus” became a label attached to both the man and his doctrine and standing for novelty and the refusal to submit to authority, be it the scholastic authority of Aristotle’s commentators or the religious authority of French Catholicism (a convert to Protestantism, he died during the St. …”

Anonymous trust management scheme of VANET based on attribute signature by Min XIAO, Faying MAO, Yonghong HUANG, Yunfei CAO

“…Trust management mechanisms can solve the authenticity assessment problem of messages and establish trust between communication entities in the VANET.However, current trust management schemes lack an effective privacy protection mechanism, leading to privacy concerns for vehicles when binding their identity with their trust level.Based on the anonymity of attribute-based signature, an anonymous trust management scheme was proposed for VANET.The trust level of the vehicle was maintained by the trusted authority.The trust level of vehicles and the current time were taken as the attribute identity set of the vehicle, so as to realize the binding of the anonymous vehicle identity with its trust level, which could provide the privacy protection of vehicles.In addition, the timely update of attribute signature private key could resist false reputation attack and the trust level of the vehicle could be verified anonymously while the attribute signature was verified.Furthermore, the pseudonym was used to hide the real identity of the vehicle, enabling only the trusted authority could parse the real identity of vehicles from the pseudonym to update their trust level, and providing legal and secure tracking of the malicious vehicle identity vehicle.Under the general group model, the attribute-based signature scheme is proven to satisfy the security of unforgerability.The security analysis further shows that the scheme protects the identity and location privacy of vehicles, enables only the trusted authority to legally track malicious vehicles, resists false reputation attacks, ensures communication integrity, and resists replay attacks.Performance analysis confirms that the proposed scheme has better computation and communication efficiency than existing schemes.…”

Blockchain-based high transparent PKI authentication protocol by Liquan CHEN, Xiao LI, Zheyi YANG, Sijie QIAN

“…The public key infrastructure (PKI), as an significant component of the current Internet security infrastructure, guarantees the information transmission with the necessary authenticity, integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation.However, the existing PKI also has shortcomings of excessive power of certification authority and difficulties in revoking and querying.Blockchain can be used to solve those problems by leveraging its advantages, such as decentralization, high transparency and flat structure.Furthermore, the ability and efficiency of the entire Internet to establish trust relationships may be improved.The transparent public key infrastructure (PKI) certification protocol based on the blockchain was proposed.The TS-PBFT algorithm was designed in the proposed protocol by adopting the threshold signature technology to the Practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) algorithm.The TS-PBFT algorithm reduced the communication overhead via reducing the communication complexity, strengthened the supervision via introducing external monitoring mechanism in the master node election of the view change protocol, and also improved the performance of the consensus mechanism via adding a batch processing mechanism.Moreover, a transparent blockchain-based PKI certification protocol was designed.The proposed protocol increased the security of certificate revocation and query, it also improved the efficiency of the certificate query by the introduction of counting bloom filters.Besides, the proposed protocol added audit function into the certificate lifecycle management.Accordingly, it can supervise the behavior of the certificate authority (CA), prompt it to improve security standards, and then achieve the purpose of limiting its authority.According to the security analysis and efficiency experiments, the proposed protocol was equipped with security properties, such as the resistance to spoofing certificate application attacks, and it achieved the best performance on TLS/SSL handshake time compared with existing PKI protocols.…”
