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.…”

Pressure-controlled luminescence in fast-response barium fluoride crystals by Marilou Cadatal-Raduban, Luong Viet Mui, Masahiro Yamashita, Yuki Shibazaki, Toshihiko Shimizu, Nobuhiko Sarukura, Kohei Yamanoi

“…Abstract Cross-luminescence (CL) in a barium fluoride (BaF2) scintillator arising from the recombination of a valence band electron and a core band hole results in a fast picosecond decay time. However, the CL emission wavelength in the vacuum ultraviolet region is difficult to detect, and intrinsically intense and slow nanosecond self-trapped exciton (STE) luminescence occurs. …”

Semiactive Vibration Control for Horizontal Axis Washing Machine by Barış Can Yalçın, Haluk Erol

“…This method is based on adjusting the maximum force values produced by the semiactive suspension elements considering a washing machine’s vibration data (three axis angular position and three axis angular acceleration values in time). Before actuation signals are received by the step motors of the friction dampers, vibration data are evaluated, and then, the step motors start to narrow or expand the radius of bracelets located on the dampers. …”

Neoclassical realism in international relations theory: Searching for its own path by A. V. Levchenko

“…As such, it allows putting forward verifiable hypotheses based on the analysis of the relationships between the independent, dependent and interfering variables, and also opens up new opportunities for conducting empirical research on a wide range of subject matters. At the same time, there is still a lot of work to be done to overcome the eclecticism inherent to neoclassical realism and to better define its ontological, epistemological and methodological foundations.…”
