Attribute-based alterable threshold ring signature scheme with conspiracy attack immunity by Zhen CHEN, Wen-fang ZHANG, Xiao-min WANG

“…Attribute-based cryptography is a generalization and development of the identity-based cryptography,which extends the identity to a set of attributes.In the attribute-based cryptosystem,different members with the same attributes can form a signature ring automatically,with the actual signer’s personl idnetity easily hided.By in-depth analysis of several attribute-based threshold ring signature schemes proposed by the earlier reseachers,it is concluded that the malicious users with the complementary attributes can conspire to forge a valid signature.In order to compensate for the defect,the proposal first gives the formal definitions of the security characteristics in attribute-based threshold ring signature scheme,such as unforgeability,indistinguishability and anti-collusion attack.Then a new attribute-based alterable threshold ring signature scheme is presented,whose security is proven equivalent to the computational Diffie-Hellman problem.By introducing an random secret parameter in each user’s private key,the proposal can resist the collusion attacks.It is proven that the proposal can satisfy existential unforgeability and anti-collusion against the adaptive chosen message attack in therandom oracle model,and can meet the requirement of indistinguishability among the users with the same attributes.Besides,property analysis shows that the proposal has high efficiency.…”

Character in Young Adult fiction: The example of Lyra in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials (1995-2000) and The Book of Dust (2017- ) by Virginie DOUGLAS

“…Even if His Dark Materials identified puberty as a turning-point in the young protagonists’ process of growing up and construction of identity, it is significant that Pullman, who had already added a small companion book—entitled Lyra’s Oxford—to the trilogy’s literary universe, is still trying to explore the multiple dimensions of Lyra’s constantly shifting character: while book 1 of The Book of Dust, Pullman’s new trilogy, La Belle Sauvage (2017), is a prequel to His Dark Materials, which focuses on Lyra as a baby—before the action in Northern Lights takes place—, book 2, The Secret Commonwealth (2019), takes a closer look at Lyra once she has become a young woman, after her meeting with Will in His Dark Materials.…”

Privacy-preserving attribute ticket scheme based on mobile terminal with smart card by Rui SHI, Huamin FENG, Huiqin XIE, Guozhen SHI, Biao LIU, Yang YANG

“…To solve the problem that the existing electronic ticket systems are challenging to deploy in resource-constrained devices and cannot prevent the sharing of tickets among unauthorized devices, a privacy-preserving attribute ticket scheme based on mobile terminal with a smart card was proposed.The smart card was a secure and constrained-yet-trusted core device that holds secret information and performs lightweight operations.The mobile terminal was a powerful helper device that handles key-independent and time-consuming operations.Firstly, the efficient attribute-based ticket scheme deployed on the mobile terminal with a smart card was constructed by combining a pseudorandom function, anonymous ephemeral identities scheme, aggregatable signatures with randomizable tags, and Pointcheval-Sanders signatures.Secondly, the security model of the electronic tickets system was presented, and the proposed scheme was proved to be unlinkable and unforgeable.Finally, the proposed scheme was implemented on a personal computer, a smart card (Aisinochip ACH512), and a smart phone (Huawei Honor 9i), and the comparison and experimental results show that it is efficient.…”
