Provable secure identity-based online/offline encryption scheme with continual leakage resilience for wireless sensor network by Xiujie Zhang, Xingbing Fu, Lu Hong, Yu Liu, Liangliang Wang

“…To address the above security challenge, we put forth the first continual leakage-resilient identity-based online/offline encryption scheme which is suitable for ensuring secure communications in wireless sensor networks. More specifically, our formal security proofs analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can guarantee security even if partial information of the secret key is continually leaked due to side-channel attacks or fault injection attacks. …”

Futuros en contrapunto: proyección, predicción y deseo en maya yucateco by Valentina Vapnarsky

“…It is based on an analysis of linguistic choices in the expression of prospective utterances, which are examined ethnographically in the midst of communicative situations. Yucatec Maya distinguishes between two major perspectives of the future: a future of predetermined events beyond the control of human action, which are known but are disconnected from present action (bíin), and a future in continuity with the potentialities of the speech event and the contemporary world, expressed by a broad range of other prospective forms: imminent and ingressive mika’aj, deontic and projective yan, desiderative tak, assertive je’el, etc. …”
