Hedging for Balancing: Japan’s Foreign Policy in the 2010s–2020s by Kei KOGA

“…Nonetheless, the relative decline in the United States’ global strategic influence has compelled Japan to adopt a “security hedging” approach. Japan seeks to strengthen strategic relations with non-US security partners both within and beyond the Indo-Pacific region, diversifying the risks of diplomatic overdependence on the United States while continuing to fortify military cooperation with it.…”

Ternary polynomial based key management scheme for wireless sensor network by Zhi-tao GUAN, Yue XU, Jun WU

“…A ternary polynomial based key management (KMTP) scheme was proposed,which is effective in cluster based wireless sensor networks.Firstly,the base station will give each node one unique identi ier to ensure the validity of the node.Then,algorithm of the inner-cluster and inter-cluster key pre-distribution based on the ternary polynomial of the same order was stated,which can ensure the value of the cracking threshold is bigger than the number of nodes of a clus-ter and all clusters separately,which means it's very hard to be cracked even all nodes of a cluster or all clusters are com-promised.To assure the communication security,inter-cluster multi-hop routing mechanism was designed based on con-structing secure conjunct neighbor table.Finally,the updating parameter and the updating authentication number were in-troduced in rekeying phase.The analysis shows that the proposed scheme can meet the security requirement of key man-agement,and it also has less computation cost and storage cost than the existing schemes.…”

Data comparable encryption scheme based on cloud computing in Internet of things by Qian MENG, Jianfeng MA, Kefei CHEN, Yinbin MIAO, Tengfei YANG

“…The previously proposed short comparable encryption (SCE) scheme can infer the plaintext relationship by comparing the ciphertexts relationship as well as ensuring data security in Internet of things.Unfortunately,it will incur high storage and computational burden during the process of comparing ciphertexts and generating tokens.To this end,an efficient short comparable encryption scheme called SCESW was proposed,which was utilizing the sliding window method with the same size window.Formal security analysis shows that the scheme can guarantee weak indistinguishability in standard model as well as data security and integrity.The experimental results demonstrate that the storage of the SCESW scheme is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mi>t</mi> </mfrac> <mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>t</mi><mi>＞</mi><mn>1</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math></inline-formula> times shorter than that of the SCE scheme and the efficiency of the SCESW scheme is superior to that of the SCE scheme.…”

Improved RLCE public key encryption scheme based on Polar codes by Zhe LI, Yiliang HAN, Yu LI

“…For PolarRLCE has no semantic security and be vulnerable to adaptively chosen ciphertext attacks.Based onrandom linear code encryptionscheme,the structure of the RLCE scheme and Polar code polarization propertieswere used to make the Polar code as underlying encoding scheme,and through the method of RLCEspad message padding,a kind of improved public key encryption scheme which considers semantic security and can resistant toadaptively chosen ciphertext attacks was proposed.The improved scheme transformed the public key matrix into a system matrix and reduces the storage space of the public key.Some pre-computation for private key are estimated to reduce the storage space of private key.Through analysis,this scheme does not change the structure of PolarRLCE scheme,which can resist structural attacks against hamming quasi-cyclic codes.At the 128 bit security level,compared with HermitianRLCE scheme,GRSRLCE scheme and GoppaMcEliece scheme,the public key size of this scheme decreased by 4%,46.5% and 47.9% respectively.…”

Blockchain-based noisy data sharing control protocol by Qingqing XIE, Nianmin YANG, Xia FENG

“…Blockchain provides a trusted channel for information sharing in an untrusted network.However, blockchain ledgers are public and transparent.Hence, the sensitive data stored in plaintext on the blockchain will compromise user privacy.Considering privacy preservation, users are more inclined to provide noisy data.And in different application scenarios, the level of data noise that users need to provide also varies.To this end, a secure, efficient, and searchable noisy data sharing control protocol was proposed based on the blockchain and smart contract technology with the ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) algorithm.First, an outsourced CP-ABE algorithm was introduced to reduce the computing burden on the user side.Secondly, smart contract was implemented to perform data search on ciphertext, which could prevent malicious operations by malicious servers.Third, the proposed protocol reduced the data update complexity to O(1), which is friendly to the scenarios with real-time data update.Finally, security analysis and simulation experiments demonstrate the security and feasibility of the proposed protocol.…”
