El Métraux haitiano. La construcción de una etnología religiosa by Fernando Giobellina Brumana

“…Métraux achieves several key theoretical and methodological innovations in this book: 1. the search for a kind of ritual syntax; 2. a focus on real practices instead of lettered formations of the cult; 3. an acknowledgement that voodoo is unmistakably Haitian and that its roots are European as much as African; 4. a rejection of the assumption that the Catholicism of voodoo adepts would be mere deception; 5. the identification of a narrative level where stories of the gods’ avatars are replaced by tales of their interventions in the life of humans. …”

La dynamique des représentations : frontières et paysage sociopolitique postclassique des Hautes Terres mayas by Marie Annereau-Fulbert

“…And yet they share a common history that is evoked in the form of migration stories and myths. Without questioning the truth of the historical facts that these may illustrate, we will see, thanks to certain passages from the Popol Vuh compiled in the 16th century and other texts from that period, that they served to subjugate several radical moments of rupture with the old world order, by redefining the boundaries of alterity and power relations in relation to a central authority whose identity was also displaced according to circumstances. …”

La sati indienne au travers de l’histoire. Du suicide héroïque aux martyres du système socio-politique by Harald Tambs-Lyche

Much later, from the 17th century onwards, the number of satis grows dramatically, until death on the pyre becomes an obligation for all the king’s women – queens, concubines and servants – on the ruler’s death. …”

Two-factor authenticated key agreement protocol based on biometric feature and password by Xiao-wei LI, Deng-qi YANG, Ben-hui CHEN, Yu-qing ZHANG

“…A new two-factor authenticated key agreement protocol based on biometric feature and password was proposed.The protocol took advantages of the user’s biological information and password to achieve the secure communication without bringing the smart card.The biometric feature was not stored in the server by using the fuzzy extractor technique,so the sensitive information of the user cannot be leaked when the server was corrupted.The authentication messages of the user were protected by the server’s public key,so the protocol can resist the off-line dictionary attack which often appears in the authentication protocols based on password.The security of the proposed protocol was given in the random oracle model provided the elliptic computational Diffie-Hellman assumption holds.The performance analysis shows the proposed protocol has better security.…”
