Secure and efficient token based roaming authentication scheme for space-earth integration network by Kaiping XUE, Yongjin MA, Jia’nan HONG, Jie XU, Qingyou YANG

“…Aiming at the problem of prolongation and instability of satellite and terrestrial physical communication links in the space-earth integration network,a two-way token based roaming authentication scheme was proposed.The scheme used the characteristics of the computing capability of the satellite nodes in the network to advance the user authentication process from the network control center (NCC) to the access satellite.The satellite directly verified the token issued by the NCC to verify the user's identity.At the same time,the token mechanism based on the one-way accumulator achieved the user's dynamic join,lightweight user self-service customization and billing,and the introduction of Bloom Filter enabled effective user revocation and malicious access management.Compared with the existing scheme,the scheme can guarantee the security of roaming authentication and significantly reduce the calculation and communication overhead of the authentication and key negotiation process.…”

E-invoice authenticity verification scheme based on signature verification by Rongna XIE, Weihua MAO, Guozhen SHI

“…With the rapid development of network and information technology,paperless and electronic have become the development trend of today's economic life.As a consumption certificate,electronic invoices have become more and more demanding in e-commerce.The existing electronic invoice verification method is to inquire the invoice information in the national electronic account base according to the invoice number,invoice code,billing date,and amount,and realize the function of comparison inquiry,and can not detect the fraudulent behavior of issuing invoices by non-issuing institutions,and cannot guarantee the full legality and authenticity of electronic invoices.Aiming at the above problems,a verification scheme for electronic invoice authenticity based on signature authentication was proposed.By verifying the signature of the tax agency,the legality verification of the blank electronic invoice is verified,and the digital signature of the seller is verified to determine the authenticity of the invoiced content.Ensure that the electronic invoices passed for verification are true and reliable.…”
