Electronic invoice public verification scheme based on SM2 coalition signature algorithm by Yurong LUO, Jin CAO, Hui LI, Xingwen ZHAO, Chao SHANG

“…In order to solve the current problems of electronic invoices, such as anti-counterfeiting, privacy leakage and low verification efficiency, an electronic invoice public verification architecture based on the national signature algorithm was proposed.Electronic invoice documents have complex data sources, sensitive user information on the ticket surface, frequent data flow and other characteristics as well as the demand for efficient public verification.Based on these motivations, the e-invoice generation and verification protocol was designed.Besides, a signature code generation scheme for invoice anti-counterfeiting was proposed based on certificate-free joint signature.Then multiple data verification and signatures of the invoicing party and the taxation authority can be realized.All kinds of invoice holders can not only verify the authenticity and data integrity of electronic invoices, but also publicly check the authenticity and data integrity of electronic invoices.The integration of data encryption algorithms protects user privacy data in electronic invoices, and at the same time can fulfill the requirements for authenticity or status verification under various invoice application scenarios.The checking party only needs to verify one signature to confirm the authenticity of the electronic invoice signed by both parties.Scyther security simulation tools were used to analyze the security of the proposed solution, which can verify the integrity and authenticity of the data source and check the confidentiality of the privacy data under various types of attacks.Compared with a typical overseas e-invoice checking scheme and a similar digital signature-based e-invoice checking scheme, the proposed scheme has obvious advantages in terms of checking efficiency and invoice file size.…”

What is the difference between thus and thusly? by Morana LUKAČ

“…Most of the prescriptive usage guides treat thusly critically and describe it as “best-avoided” and replaced by thus or they even designate it as a “non-word” (Lukač and Tieken-Boon van Ostade forthcoming).To find out what the acceptability ratings for the word are currently, together with Ingrid Tieken-Boon van Ostade, I conducted an online survey made available between July and September 2015, in which we asked the participants to rate the word on a six-fold acceptability scale (informal speech, formal speech, informal writing, formal writing, netspeak, and unacceptable under any circumstances).In this paper, with the survey findings as my starting point, I aim to establish whether a current change in progress correlates with higher acceptability ratings among younger speakers. …”
