In this letter, a more efficient variant of MDHC, called WMDHC, which endows in the structure of MDHC a weight value for each hash value through a well-defined mapping, is proposed. The average hash operation number of WMDHC is log(2 m / t ),which is better than log( m )of MDHC when the parameter t is typically suggested as t = 7.展开更多

文摘Hash chain and its generalization—Multi-Dimensional Hash Chain (MDHC) have been widely used in the design of micropayment due to its simplicity and efficiency. In this letter, a more efficient variant of MDHC, called WMDHC, which endows in the structure of MDHC a weight value for each hash value through a well-defined mapping, is proposed. The average hash operation number of WMDHC is log(2 m / t ),which is better than log( m )of MDHC when the parameter t is typically suggested as t = 7.

文摘In this paper, the automorphism group of a generalized extraspecial p-group G is determined, where p is a prime number. Assume that |G| = p 2n+m and |ζG| = p m , where n 1 and m 2. (1) When p is odd, let Aut G G = {α∈ AutG | α acts trivially on G }. Then Aut G G⊿AutG and AutG/Aut G G≌Z p-1 . Furthermore, (i) If G is of exponent p m , then Aut G G/InnG≌Sp(2n, p) × Z p m-1 . (ii) If G is of exponent p m+1 , then Aut G G/InnG≌ (K Sp(2n-2, p))×Z p m-1 , where K is an extraspecial p-group of order p 2n-1 . In particular, Aut G G/InnG≌ Z p × Z p m-1 when n = 1. (2) When p = 2, then, (i) If G is of exponent 2 m , then AutG≌ Sp(2n, 2) × Z 2 × Z 2 m-2 . In particular, when n = 1, |AutG| = 3 · 2 m+2 . None of the Sylow subgroups of AutG is normal, and each of the Sylow 2-subgroups of AutG is isomorphic to H K, where H = Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 m-2 , K = Z 2 . (ii) If G is of exponent 2 m+1 , then AutG≌ (I Sp(2n-2, 2)) × Z 2 × Z 2 m-2 , where I is an elementary abelian 2-group of order 2 2n-1 . In particular, when n = 1, |AutG| = 2 m+2 and AutG≌ H K, where H = Z 2 × Z 2 × Z 2 m-1 , K = Z 2 .
