Short Paper - The Binary Linearization Complexity of Pseudo-Boolean Functions by Walter, Matthias

“…This motivates the definition of the linearization complexity of $f$ as the minimum such $k$. Our theoretical contributions are the proof that random polynomials almost surely have a high linearization complexity and characterizations of its value in case we do or do not restrict the set of admissible Boolean functions. …”

Efficient communication protocol of group negotiation in VANET by Mu HAN, Lei HUA, Liangmin WANG, Haobin JIANG, Shidian MA

“…An efficient communication protocol of group negotiation was proposed.The protocol adopted self-checking authentication in group to avoid the nodes sending certificates to the authentication center which improved the efficiency of identification.At the same time,the group establishment among nodes which through negotiation ensured the communication confidentiality and prevented the phenomenon of single-point failure.Besides,a group key transmission scheme was proposed to reduce the frequency of authentication for legal vehicles and improve the speed of joining in the group.At the end,theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol not only meets the security requirements of communication in VANET,but also shows much better performance than previous reported schemes on verification delay,transmission overhead and average delay.…”

Study on Operating Characteristic of the New Type Wind Power Device based on Improved CVT Mechanism by Zhu Xia

“…The new type of wind power device layout scheme is set up,and the transmission layout scheme theoretical model is completed. Finally,in the end,the performance parameters of the wind power device are compared and analyzed through the test method.The research result shows that,after the installation of the improved CVT mechanism,the energy conversion efficiency of the wind power device is improved,and the connecting shaft torque magnitude and change range of the blade and gearbox is reduced. …”

Optimal path identification to defend against DDoS attacks by JIN Guang1, YANG Jian-gang1, LI Yuan2, ZHANG Hui-zhan2

“…A novel packet marking scheme,optimal path identification（OPi）,was proposed to defend against DDoS at-tacks.Instead of using fixed 1 or 2 bit in previous schemes,in OPi a router deduces the traveling distance of an arrived packet by its TTL value and inserts a variable-length marking of 1~16 bit into the packet.The marking field is filled completely even the path is very short and the distinguishability is improved.OPi outperforms previous schemes,espe-cially when attacker paths adjoin user paths seriously.To obtain better performance,an OPi+TTL filtering strategy was proposed to frustrate attackers’ tries with spoofed initial TTL values.Theoretical analyses and simulations with actual Internet topologies show OPi performs excellently.…”

Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”

Joint amplitude and phase partition based physical layer key generation method by Nannan LI, Yu HAN, Ning GAO, Shi JIN

“…A key generation method based on wireless channel physical layer features is of great significance for improving security of wireless transmission.An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system based on time division duplex (TDD) with multipath fading channels was considered.Utilizing the advantages of OFDM multicarrier and the channel reciprocity and combining the phase and amplitude information of channel frequency response (CFR), two algorithms for physical layer key generation were proposed.Theoretical analysis and experimental simulation show that the proposed algorithm has more consistent and smaller overhead in information negotiation, in addition, the proposed algorithm can increase the key length and enhance randomness, and has a better defense capability against eavesdropping and active attacks of the illegal user.…”
