The Mechanisms of Guaranteeing the Right to Clean Air in Iran and International Documents by Fatemeh Hamidi, Maryam Afshari, Ali Mashhadi

“…International instruments also lack a clear guarantee of implementation, and the mechanism provided for in the conventions seems to be very simple and inefficient.Discussion: The laws and approvals related to air pollution have not been properly implemented, and this issue is more noticeable in the case of the Clean Air Act. The most important reasons for the lack of law enforcement are lack of financial resources, lack of priority to the issue of air pollution, lack of adequate and effective supervision, inconsistency between the executive agencies and island operations, personal interpretation of the law's texts, and finally, the flaws in the text of the law. …”

Ciphertext policy hidden access control scheme based on blockchain and supporting data sharing by Ruizhong DU, Tianhe ZHANG, Pengliang SHI

“…Secondly, the proposed scheme is compared with some access control schemes with similar technologies in recent years in terms of group order,access structure,policy hiding and so on,it can be seen from the comparison results that the scheme in this paper has certain advantages in terms of functional characteristics.Afterwards,the cost of deploying contracts and executing related functions on the blockchain is evaluated.The results show that the gas cost of the scheme in this paper is within a reasonable range.The final simulation results show that the proposed scheme has high efficiency in both the access control stage and the data sharing stage.According to the design of the existing paper comparative experiments,we set the number of attributes to 0-20.In the access control stage, the initialization time, key generation time, encryption time and decryption time are compared with other schemes.The results show that although the computational overhead of the proposed scheme is relatively large in the initialization stage, the efficiency in the key generation stage, encryption stage and decryption stage is higher than that of the other three schemes, so the proposed scheme has higher efficiency in the access control stage.In the data sharing stage, the re-encryption time and re-decryption time are compared with other schemes, respectively. …”
