New kind of CD-DCSK chaos shift keying secure communication system by Yong ZHU, Jia-nan WANG, Qun DING

“…As existing chaos keying communication systems had the issues of low data transmission rate and weak system confidentiality,a new kind of chaos shift keying communication system:CD-DCSK(correlation delay-differential chaos shift keying) was presented.At the same time lucubrated and simulated the communication performances of this new system.The theoretical deduction and emulational experimentation analysis verified that CD-DCSK has both merits of high confidentiality of CDSK and low BER of DCSK,and its transmission rate is twice as much as original shift keying schemes.Meanwhile,this new communication scheme perfectly achieved the secrecy transmission of age signal.Therefore,it can be clearly seen that this new system is realizable and has high security.…”

Singular Value Decomposition-Based Method for Sliding Mode Control and Optimization of Nonlinear Neutral Systems by Heli Hu, Dan Zhao, Qingling Zhang

“…In the framework of Lyapunov stability theory, the existence conditions for the designed sliding surface and the stability bound α∗ are derived via twice transformations. The further results are to develop an efficient sliding mode control law with tuned parameters to attract the state trajectories onto the sliding surface in finite time and remain there for all the subsequent time. …”

The Enterprise’s Financial Condition Assessment as a Component of its Creditworthiness by Natalia Wasilewska, Mirosław Wasilewski, Serhiy Zabolotnyy

“…It is proposed to improve methodological approaches to financial assessment of an enterprise – a potential borrower, due to changes in the economy, in particular in the financial sector, which have been influenced by crises that have shaken the Ukrainian economy twice in the past ten years. The proposed approaches to assessing the financial condition of an agricultural enterprise as a component of its creditworthiness increase the accuracy and credibility of such assessments and help to minimize credit risks.…”

Improvement of lightweight threshold group signature scheme by Zhirong ZHU, Jiayu LYU, Guohua YE, Zhiqiang YAO

“…In order to improve the security and efficiency of threshold group signature in 5G environment,a new scheme was proposed.The core idea was to introduce message token and dynamic identity to improve the freshness of authentication information and increase the difficulty of enemy attacks.At the same time,the number of interactions between the participating parties was simplified,and some computing tasks were migrated to the server to reduce the computing overhead of the member part.After security analysis,the proposed scheme can resist multiple attacks including replay attack.After performance analysis,the proposed scheme can reduce the interaction with the trusted center twice compared with similar schemes,reduce the signature space by 30%,and have shorter execution time,which is suitable for resource-constrained devices under 5G network.…”

Universally composable oblivious transfer protocol based on VSPH by LI Feng-hua1, FENG Tao1, MA Jian-feng1

“…A new oblivious transfer protocol was proposed within the framework of universally composable security（UC-DT）.The protocol based on the verifiably smooth projective hashing（VSPH） is against adaptive adversaries in a common reference string（CRS） model.The UC-OT protocol improves computational efficiency with non-committing encryptions（NCE）which is based on decisional compounding residuosity,achieves UC-OT,and it saves O（n）-1 rounds in communication efficiency than bit-OT protocols.Compared with Canetti’s scheme in non-erase model,the message reduced once.Compared with Fischlin’s scheme,the message transfers were reduced twice,and the scheme does not rely on the auxiliary party,therefore it is more practical.…”

Parameter Matching for Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle based on Degree of Hybridization by Xing Zhongyi

“…The performance indexes of parameter matching are formulated and the concept of degree of hybridization is put forward based on a kind of driving system of hybrid electric vehicle,the effect of vehicle mass on vehicle performance is obtained by the calculation and analysis of the total power of power source and performance indexes.On this basis,the upper limit and lower limit of the degree of hybridization are calculated,on the basis of ADVISOR simulation platform,the simulation model based on NEDC cycle is built up,the simulation and analysis of the effect between different degree hybridization on the dynamic performance and fuel economy performance of the vehicle are accomplished.The results show that the fuel economy gets better and better along with the degree of hybridization increasing,but the dynamic performance of the vehicle gets worse gradually.According to the relationship between the fuel consumption of the vehicle and the degree of hybridization,the optimum degree of hybridization is confirmed by using twice linear fitting method,besides,the relevant parameter matching of the transmission is accomplished.…”
