Research of the small Qubit quantum computing attack to the RSA public key cryptography by Bao-nan WANG, Yu-hang CHEN, Bao YIN, Feng HU, Huan-guo ZHANG, Chao WANG

“…The small Qubit quantum algorithm attack to RSA was proposed,the need Qubit of the first quantum register from 2L to L1,it can be reduced to 2 Qubit,the overall space complexity denoted (L1,L),where 2L1≥r,r is the period of decomposed.Because of the reduce of the first quantum register,it reduces the algorithm’s complexity and success rates,and use the binary look-up table method to compute the modular exponentiation,it enhances the computing speed.The improved algorithm’s quantum circuit complexity is T=O(2L2).It have a significant improvement on the time complexity and space complexity.Although the success rate is reduced,the overall success solution time is still lower than the Shor algorithm and the current major improvements Shor algorithm.Completed a simulation experiment.Respectively use the 11、10、9 Qubit decomposing the quantum circuit 119.The new algorithm explore the reality of using a universal quantum computer device to decipher the public key cryptography.…”

Research of STR multicast key management protocol based on bilinear pairing in ad hoc network by ZHOU Fu-cai1, XU Jian2, XU Hai-fang1, LIU Ze-chao1

“…STR multicast key management protocol has an optimal cost in computation,communication and storage.But on security property,STR cannot resist active attacks without providing key authentication.By introducing the bilinear pairing cryptosystem and the 3-ary key tree,the improved STR protocol which is called PSTR（bilinear pairing-based STR） was proposed.The key generation process and six basic sub-protocols were included in the protocol.Through proving the bilinear form of PSTR key tree,the security of the PSTR in computation was proved.Finally PSTR were compared with STR through performance analysis,the results of which show that: PSTR is more efficient than STR in the communication cost and the computation cost as well as the storage requirement.Therefore,PSTR is a novel,reliable group key management protocol,and is well-suited for Ad hoc networks.…”

ANALYSIS OF THE PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON RAIL SEAT OF CONCRETE SLEEPERS UNDER 40- TONNE AXLE LOAD by AN BoYang, YANG JiZhong, LIU Chao, ZHAO Xin, WEN ZeFeng, JIN XueSong

“…The FE model is first validated by comparing the calculated results with those of a traditional simplified algorithm. More results have shown that（ 1） the typical heavy haul track structure in China can meet the requirements of 40- tonne axle load,but the stress on the top of subgrade exceeds the bearing capacity considered in normal design;（ 2） with the increase of the lateral wheel-rail contact force,the width（ along the lateral） of the contact patch between the railpad and the sleeper decreases and the length keeps almost unchanged,thereby the maximum pressure increases and its location moves towards the field side in the lateral;（ 3） Under the typical wheel-rail contact forces,the pressure distribution on the rail seat changes significantly when the stiffness of the railpad increases from 80 MN / m to 200 MN / m,while un-affected as the stiffness further increases to 1300 MN / m;（ 4） Assuming a constant dynamic amplification factor,the pressure on the rail seat decreases as the rail fastening system fails,and correspondingly,the shape of contact patch between the rail pad and the sleeper becomes more irregular due to less constraints.…”
