Method of ciphertext retrieval in mobile edge computing based on block segmentation by Na WANG, Kun ZHENG, Junsong FU, Jian LI

“…Aiming at the efficiency of cloud computing ciphertext retrieval scheme,a method of ciphertext retrieval in mobile edge computing based on block segmentations was proposed.Firstly,the edge server was introduced to calculate the document similarity score,thereby the computational cost of cloud server was reduced and the processing efficiency of cloud server was improved.Secondly,most keywords that are not related to the query were filtered out by a method of block segmentations based on the MRSE scheme,thereby the efficiency of calculating the document similarity score was improved.Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the solution is safe under the known background threat model.Compared with the existing scheme,the proposed scheme has the same security and higher retrieval efficiency.…”

Trusted digital rights management protocol supporting for time and space constraint by MA Zhao-feng1, FAN Ke-feng2, CHEN Ming1, YANG Yi-xian1, NIU Xin-xin1

“…A new content protection secure digital right management protocol was proposed,in which content object（CO） and rights object（RO） were separated respectively,and the CO was encrypted by content encryption key（CEK）,while RO was encapsulated by end user’s device related key（DEK）.As for the authentication,dynamical key agreement and authentication protocols was developed for users’ and license centers’ trust management.The proposed CPSec DRM protocol provided personalized and protected license management according to each end user’s location and physical characters,thus it can prevent the license being illegally copied and spread,considering offline license management,a license transfer mechanism was adopted for sub-licenses redistribution.Security analysis manifests the proposed CPSec DRM protocol is secure,reliable and efficient for content protection,authentication,and license management which does not only support online licensing but is feasible for offline license redistribution.…”

Development of Attenuated Total Reflectance Mid-Infrared (ATR-MIR) and Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy for the Determination of Resistant Starch Content in Wheat Grains by Rong Wang, Xia Wei, Hongpan Wang, Linshu Zhao, Cengli Zeng, Bingrui Wang, Wenying Zhang, Luxiang Liu, Yanhao Xu

“…In the NIR technique, the mean normalization + Savitzky–Golay smoothing (MN + SGS) preprocessing technique had a higher coefficient of determination (Rc2 = 0.672; Rp2 = 0.552) and a relative lower root mean square error value (RMSEC = 0.385; RMSEP = 0.459). In the ATR-MIR technique, the baseline preprocessing method exhibited a better performance regarding to the values of coefficient of determination (Rc2 = 0.927; Rp2 = 0.828) and mean square error value (RMSEC = 0.153; RMSEP = 0.284). …”

Le couple anticipation/décision aux prises avec l’exceptionnel, l’imprévu et l’incertitude by Valérie November, Alice Azémar, Sophie Lecacheux, Thierry Winter

“…Through two case studies located during the Irma-José-Maria crisis, one observed in the National French Crisis Center and the other experienced by a government operator, at a more regional level, this article illustrates these obstacles and highlights the fragmentation of the anticipation/decision couple in the practice of the different ORSEC levels. It appears that the lack of a shared vision within and between the crisis units on the nature, time horizon and methodological framework of the anticipation function were as many obstacles to its effective implementation during the cyclone sequence. …”
