RLWE-based ciphertext-policy attribute proxy re-encryption by En ZHANG, Yaoyao PEI, Jiao DU

“…To solve LWE-based proxy re-encryption schemes cannot achieve fine-grained access and low efficiency problem,a ciphertext-policy attribute-based proxy re-encryption scheme was proposed.The scheme based on linear secret sharing scheme,RLWE and attribute encryption could shorten the key size,reduce the ciphertext space and improve the efficiency of encryption and decryption.At the same time,the linear secret sharing matrix was used as an access matrix to meet the requirements of authorized person fine-grained commissioning control and to resist the collusion between the agent and the authorized person.In addition,the proposed scheme is shown to be secure under the ring learning with errors assumption in the standard model.…”

The Challenges of Spirometric Diagnosis of COPD by Adriana Maldonado-Franco, Luis F. Giraldo-Cadavid, Eduardo Tuta-Quintero, Alirio R. Bastidas Goyes, Daniel A. Botero-Rosas

“…Due to its simplicity, portability, and low cost, spirometry has been established as the main tool to detect this condition, but its flawed performance makes it an imperfect COPD diagnosis gold standard. This review aims to provide an up-to-date literature overview of recent studies regarding COPD diagnosis; we seek to identify their limitations and establish perspectives for spirometric diagnosis of COPD in the XXI century by combining deep clinical knowledge of the disease with advanced computer analysis techniques.…”

A Physical Charge-Based Analytical Threshold Voltage Model for Cryogenic CMOS Design by Hao Su, Yiyuan Cai, Shenghua Zhou, Guangchong Hu, Yu He, Yunfeng Xie, Yuhuan Lin, Chunhui Li, Tianqi Zhao, Jun Lan, Wenhui Wang, Wenxin Li, Feichi Zhou, Xiaoguang Liu, Longyang Lin, Yida Li, Hongyu Yu, Kai Chen

“…This paper proposes a physical charge-based analytical MOSFET threshold voltage model that explicitly incorporates interface-trapped charges which have been identified as playing a dominant role in defining threshold voltage trends in deep cryogenic temperatures. The model retains standard threshold voltage definition by various charges across the MOSFET capacitor while being analytical in its form, therefore, suitable for cryogenic CMOS VLSI design. …”
