Fair and rational delegation of computation in the universally composable framework by Youliang TIAN, Xiaoxia JIANG

“…To realize the economic and reputation fairness in rational delegation of computation, a fair and rational delegation of computation scheme based on blockchain model of cryptography in the universally composable (UC) framework was proposed.Firstly, a bidirectional reputation incentive model between the delegator and the calculator was presented by combining direct reputation and indirect reputation.Secondly, a dynamic game model with perfect information for fair and rational delegation of computation was constructed based on game theory, and a unique sub-game Nash equilibrium was further obtained.In addition, by analyzing the requirements for verifiability, rational decision of players, economic and reputation fairness, as well as adversary model, the ideal functionality for fair and rational delegation of computation was proposed.Finally, a fair and rational delegation of computation protocol by combining succinct commit-and-prove and smart contract was proposed to securely realize the ideal functionality.The security analysis shows that the proposed protocol satisfies UC security.…”

Type Synthesis of Mobile Mechanisms with Multiple Modes based on Single-loop Kinematic Chains by Zhang Chunyan, Liu Xiangyu, Ni Cong, Lu Chenhui

“…Aiming at the functional requirements of mobile mechanisms with multiple modes，a design scheme based on single-loop kinematic chains is proposed.Firstly，according to the single-loop freedom formula，the conditions satisfying the single-loop and can be active are determined，and the combination relationships among the order of the constrained screw system，the number of bars，the number of kinematic pairs and the degree of freedom of the single-loop kinematic chains are obtained.Secondly，based on the screw theory，the geometric conditions of the axis of kinematic pairs under different constrained screw orders are obtained by using the virtual work principle.Taking the R and P pairs as the design units，all the possible combinations of the single-loop kinematic chains under different degrees of freedom are enumerated，and then the constructed single-loop kinematic chains are used as the body or branch to construct a kind of mobile mechanisms with multiple modes.Finally，the steps of type synthesis of mobile mechanisms with multiple modes and some design cases are given，which verifies the feasibility and practicability of the proposed design theory and design method.…”

Multi-key homomorphic proxy re-encryption scheme based on NTRU and its application by Ruiqi LI, Chunfu JIA, Yafei WANG

“…To improve the practicability of homomorphic encryption in the application of multi-user cloud computing, a NTRU-based multi-key homomorphic proxy re-encryption (MKH-PRE) scheme was constructed.Firstly, a new form of NTRU-based multi-key ciphertext was proposed based on the idea of ciphertext extension, and the corresponding homomorphic operations and relinearization procedure were designed on the basis of this new ciphertext form, so that a NTRU-based multi-key homomorphic encryption (MKHE) scheme which supported distributed decryption was constructed.Then, resorting to the idea of key switching, the re-encryption key and re-encryption procedure were put forward such that the functionality of proxy re-encryption (PRE) was integrated to this new NTRU-based MKHE scheme.The MKH-PRE scheme preserved the properties of MKHE and PRE, and had a better performance on the client side.The scheme was applied to the privacy-preserving problems in federated learning and an experiment of the application was carried out.The results demonstrate that the accuracy of learning is scarcely affected by the encryption procedure and the computational overhead of this MKH-PRE scheme is acceptable.…”
