Provably secure secret sharing scheme based on bilinear maps by LI Hui-xian1, PANG Liao-jun2

“…A method to construct provable secure secret sharing scheme using bilinear pairing was recommended.Firstly,the semantic security definition for secret sharing scheme is given,which is developed from the standard definition of semantic security for the public key cryptosystems.Then,a new secret sharing scheme based on the bilinear maps is pro-posed,with its correctness,security and performance analyzed and proven subsequently.Compared with the existing schemes,the proposed scheme is provably secure.At the same time,the proposed scheme departs the private key compu-tation of participants from the secret distribution process and the dealer does not have to securely save each participant’s private key,which makes this scheme more secure and more efficient.Therefore,the proposed scheme is more applicable than the existing ones.…”

Optimal Algorithms and the BFGS Updating Techniques for Solving Unconstrained Nonlinear Minimization Problems by Chein-Shan Liu

“…An invariant manifold defined for the model problem in terms of a locally quadratic function is used to derive a purely iterative algorithm and the convergence is proven. Then, the rank-two updating techniques of BFGS are employed, which result in several novel algorithms as being faster than the steepest descent method (SDM) and the variable metric method (DFP). …”

River Contour Recognition and Extraction Algorithm Based on Kirsch Operator and Multi-level Threshold Segmentation by ZHOU Shaojun, SHE Hailong

“…The intelligent extraction accuracy of river contour from high-resolution remote sensing images under complex backgrounds is low.Thus,a method of combining the Kirsch operator with threshold segmentation is proposed to preprocess and pre-segment the gray images.Then,according to the morphological characteristics of the river,the image is morphologically processed to remove most of the background noise.Finally,the second threshold segmentation is conducted on the main area to realize accurate river contour recognition and extraction.The applicability of this method is proven by recognizing river samples in different terrain conditions.By employing objective evaluation indexes,the recognition accuracy of river area is verified to exceed 90%,which is much higher than the simple threshold segmentation method.This meets the needs of high-precision river channel extraction and provides references for intelligent and rapid extraction of river channel information.…”

Resource allocation algorithm based on non-cooperative game theory in uplink OFDMA multi-hop relay networks by Zheng XIANG, Xu-ming FANG, Peng XU

“…Resource allocation issue in uplink OFDMA multi-hop relay networks was investigated.Firstly,with constraints such as maximum transmission power being imposed,a multi-cell optimization model for resource allocation in uplink OFDMA multi-hop relay networks was formulated.By applying non-cooperative game and pricing theories,the optimization is transformed into the case where power was independently allocated on each sub-channel.The existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium for power allocation model which was based on non-cooperative was proven,and accordingly a distributed algorithm was proposed.Simulation results show that,the proposed algorithm can improve the system throughput effectively while profoundly reducing total system transmission power,thus achieving much higher energy efficiency ratio.…”

Identity-based cloud storage integrity checking from lattices by Miaomiao TIAN, Chuang GAO, Jie CHEN

“…With the rapid development of cloud storage,more and more users are storing their data in the cloud.To verify whether the users’ data stored in the cloud is corrupted,one effective method is to adopt cloud storage integrity checking schemes.An identity-based cloud storage integrity checking scheme was proposed on the small integer solution problem over ideal lattices,and it was proven to be secure against the adaptive identity attacks of clouds in the random oracle model.To validate the efficiency of the scheme,extensive experiments were conducted to make performance-comparisons between the scheme and the existing two identity-based cloud storage integrity checking schemes.The experimental results show that the online tag-generation time and the proof-verification time of the scheme are respectively reduced by 88.32%～93.74% and 98.81%～99.73%.…”
