Event-Based Consensus for General Linear Multiagent Systems under Switching Topologies by Yinshuang Sun, Zhijian Ji, Kaien Liu

“…However, different from fixed topology, the control input of each agent is updated both at event-triggering and topology switching time. Finally, Zeno behaviors can be excluded by proving that the minimum triggering interval of each agent is strictly positive, and the effectiveness of the event-triggered protocol is verified by simulation experiments.…”

6G endogenous security:architecture and key technologies by Yang LIU, Mugen PENG

“…At the beginning of design for the traditional mobile communication systems,security is considered as an independent technology,relying on “patch” and “plug-in” to realize the security protection of wireless communica-tion.The sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication system is designed based on software-defined slicing platform,edge computing,artificial intelligence and big data mining to adapt to different application scenarios and performance objectives,making the traditional network security mechanisms difficult to guarantee 6G's requirements for embed-ded security.6G endogenous security was proposed,the architecture and key technologies of 6G endogenous security were described,the security threats in the new technologies were discussed which 6G would adopt,and the chal-lenges and future research directions of 6G endogenous security were provided.…”

Universal composable threshold signature by HONG Xuan1, CHEN Ke-fei2, LI Qiang2

“…Threshold signature allowed any subset of t parties generating a signature,but that disallowed the creation of a valid signature if fewer than t parties participate in the protocol.Since the security of threshold signature was only con-sidered in a single instance before,the universal composability framework was introduced.The framework with its secu-rity preserving composition property allowed for modular design and analysis of the threshold signature.The defined ideal functionality of threshold signature is proved equals to the standard security notion of threshold signature.Further-more,how to applying the ideal functionality is described.The proposed threshold signature protocol and proactive threshold signature protocol are not only provably secure,but also universally composable.…”
