Application research of optical communication network based on artificial intelligence technique by Gangxiang SHEN

“…The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technique in optical communication networks were explored.Some representative AI applications and potential risks due to the failure of the AI technique were discussed.To address these risks,methods including systematic AI modeling through unitizing and miniaturizing sub-systems and cooperation with traditional network modeling and planning methods were proposed,which were expected to help improve the effectiveness and practicality of the application of the AI technique.Finally,to recover a system from the failure of its employed AI technique or attacks,some protection strategies were proposed.…”

A Forward-Secure Digital Signature Based on Elliptic Curve by Huiyan Chen, Yong Yuan, Zongjie Wan, Le Liu, Yi Yang

“…The forward-secure digital signature is an important digital signature scheme.It requires that even if the attackers have already been given a signature key by invading a system in t time，it still can’t forge signatures before time t.In other words，the forward-secure digital signature provides an assurance that any signatures in the previous periods are still valid before the key compromises.Based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem and the factoring problem，a forward-secure digital signature scheme was put forward，and the safety and efficiency of the program was analyzed and proved systematically.…”
