Blockchain-Based Light-Weighted Provable Data Possession for Low Performance Devices

Provable Data Possession(PDP)schemes have long been proposed to solve problem of how to check the integrity of data stored in cloud service without downloading.However,with the emerging of network consisting of low performance devices such as Internet of Things,we find that there are still two obstacles for applying PDP schemes.The first one is the heavy computation overhead in generating tags for data blocks,which is essential for setting up any PDP scheme.The other one is how to resist collusion attacks from third party auditors with any possible entities participating the auditing.In this paper,we propose a novel blockchain-based light-weighted PDP scheme for low performance devices,with an instance deployed on a cloud server.We design a secure outsourced tag generating method for low performance devices,which enables a kind of“hash-sign-switch”two-phase tag computing.With this method,users with low performance devices can employ third party auditors to compute modular exponential operations that accounts for the largest portion of computation overhead in tag generation,without leaking their data content.Chaincodes in blockchain network ensure the correctness of such outsourcing and prevent collusion attacks.The security analysis and performance evaluation prove that our scheme is both secure and efficient.

The Enclosed Personal Space and Female Identity Construction in A. S. Byatt's Possession

From the perspective of feminism, by analyzing single intellectual women's living states in enclosed personal spaces, andcomparing their different spatial changes triggered by external intrusions, this essay intends to explore Byatt's ambivalent attitudestowards the feminists' pursuit for a room of one's own, and point out the significance of harmonious co-existence between men andwomen to female identity construction.

Paradise Archetype in Possession

A.S.Byatt's Possession has its own appraisal of public and critic alike for its original structure, as well as for the novelty and complexity of its themes. With Northrop Frye's archetypal criticism, this paper analyzes the epic poems"The Garden of Proserpina"so as to identify the hidden creation theme from paradise archetype.

The Quest Motif in Possession

The author of the paper analyzes the story"Glass Coffin"in A. S. Byatt's Possession and compares it with Brothers Grimm's fairy tale with the same name. Through the study, the author identifies the quest motif from our modern hero's discovery journey in Possession.

Towards Comprehensive Provable Data Possession in Cloud Computing

To check the remote data integrity in cloud computing,we have proposed an efficient and full data dynamic provable data possession(PDP) scheme that uses a SN(serial number)-BN(block number) table to support data block update.In this article,we first analyze and test its performance in detail.The result shows that our scheme is efficient with low computation,storage,and communication costs.Then,we discuss how to extend the dynamic scheme to support other features,including public auditability,privacy preservation,fairness,and multiple-replica checking.After being extended,a comprehensive PDP scheme that has high efficiency and satisfies all main requirements is provided.

Pursuit of Possessions

今日是除夕,央视的春节联欢晚会正在进行。我看了大约一个多小时,觉得兴味寡淡:小品无新意,歌舞无创意,戏曲不如意,观众不满意,整台春节晚会简直就成了“大腕的葬礼”。(编者按:无论是和亲朋聊聊,还是上网瞧瞧,或是翻开各地报纸看看,对央视除夕晚会的指责成了春节期间的“共同主题”。)还是回到自己的书斋吧。

Blockchain-based Privacy-Preserving Group Data Auditing with Secure User Revocation

Progress in cloud computing makes group data sharing in outsourced storage a reality.People join in group and share data with each other,making team work more convenient.This new application scenario also faces data security threats,even more complex.When a user quit its group,remaining data block signatures must be re-signed to ensure security.Some researchers noticed this problem and proposed a few works to relieve computing overhead on user side.However,considering the privacy and security need of group auditing,there still lacks a comprehensive solution to implement secure group user revocation,supporting identity privacy preserving and collusion attack resistance.Aiming at this target,we construct a concrete scheme based on ring signature and smart contracts.We introduce linkable ring signature to build a kind of novel meta data for integrity proof enabling anonymous verification.And the new meta data supports secure revocation.Meanwhile,smart contracts are using for resisting possible collusion attack and malicious re-signing computation.Under the combined effectiveness of both signature method and blockchain smart contracts,our proposal supports reliable user revocation and signature re-signing,without revealing any user identity in the whole process.Security and performance analysis compared with previous works prove that the proposed scheme is feasible and efficient.

Blockchain-Based Privacy-Preserving Public Auditing for Group Shared Data

Cloud storage has been widely used to team work or cooperation devel-opment.Data owners set up groups,generating and uploading their data to cloud storage,while other users in the groups download and make use of it,which is called group data sharing.As all kinds of cloud service,data group sharing also suffers from hardware/software failures and human errors.Provable Data Posses-sion(PDP)schemes are proposed to check the integrity of data stored in cloud without downloading.However,there are still some unmet needs lying in auditing group shared data.Researchers propose four issues necessary for a secure group shared data auditing:public verification,identity privacy,collusion attack resis-tance and traceability.However,none of the published work has succeeded in achieving all of these properties so far.In this paper,we propose a novel block-chain-based ring signature PDP scheme for group shared data,with an instance deployed on a cloud server.We design a linkable ring signature method called Linkable Homomorphic Authenticable Ring Signature(LHARS)to implement public anonymous auditing for group data.We also build smart contracts to resist collusion attack in group auditing.The security analysis and performance evalua-tion prove that our scheme is both secure and efficient.

Human Habitats and Malaria Vector Control in Benin: Current Situation and Implications for Effective Control

Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the main indoor malaria vector tools control tools. The study examined housing characteristics and investigated the relationship between the total volume of household possessions, the volume of the sleeping room, and the hanging of LLINs. A total of 831 bedrooms were randomly selected in Benin in 2015. The findings showed that mud walls were predominant in rural areas (more than 75%), while metal roofs were common (77.3% - 97.9%). Battery-powered lighting was prevalent in rural areas in Northern (97%), while open-flame oil lamps were commonly used in rural areas in Southern (86%). The availability of correct bedding was low, ranging from 1% to 10% in all households. 20% of the bedrooms had at least 50% of their volume occupied by household possessions in urban areas. In rural areas, bedrooms without LLINs had a lower mean rate ratio of the volume occupied by possessions per the total volume of the room compared to bedrooms with at least one LLIN installed (p < 0.0001). The characteristics of human habitats are not favourable to the correct use of vector control intervention indoors. It is therefore important to improve people’s living conditions as the next step for malaria elimination.

降低可证明存储的计算和通信复杂度(英文)

Nowadays, an increasing number of persons choose to outsource their computing demands and storage demands to the Cloud. In order to ensure the integrity of the data in the untrusted Cloud, especially the dynamic files which can be updated online, we propose an improved dynamic provable data possession model. We use some homomorphic tags to verify the integrity of the file and use some hash values generated by some secret values and tags to prevent replay attack and forgery attack. Compared with previous works, our proposal reduces the computational and communication complexity from O(logn) to O(1). We did some experiments to ensure this improvement and extended the model to file sharing situation.

The Great Time,the Three Societies in the Globalization and the Three Souls of a Leftist Today

The first society would be the society of the good will.Already several times discussed,for which the value-oriented life of this year can no longer become an open problem.We define the second society provisionally as the one,which is fundamentally not constituted by the above described good will.In the following,we will try to identify it in this abstract description as the society of the“majority”.We see the third society in that political class or elite,which power has been built in the year 1989 and thus became the concretization of that establishment,with which the“first”society identified itself so totally.This tripartition of the real existing Left might also explain,why its political articulation is so fragmented.A Leftist should have today three souls:one of the winners(the elite,as a member of our third class),one of the losers(as a member of our second class)and one of the man of good will(as a member of our first class),who very enjoyed in its total identification with the own system.And authors have drawn some meaningful conclusions.

Data Integrity Checking Protocol with Data Dynamics in Cloud Computing

We introduce a model for provable data possession (PDP) which allows a client that has stored data at an untrusted server to verify that the server possesses the original data without retrieving it. In a previous work, Ateniese et al. proposed a remote data integrity checking protocol that supports data partial dynamics. In this paper, we present a new remote data possession checking protocol which allows an unlimited number of file integrity verifications and efficiently supports dynamic operations, such as data modification, deletion, insertion and append. The proposed protocol supports public verifiability. In addition, the proposed protocol does not leak any private information to third-party verifiers. Through a specific analysis, we show the correctness and security of the protocol. After that, we demonstrate the proposed protocol has a good performance.

Morphosyntactic Structures of Existential, Possessive and Locative Constructions in Amharic

This paper lays out the morphosyntactic structures of existential,locative and possessive constructions in Amharic.Amharic belongs to South Ethio-Semitic language subfamily.It is natively spoken in the Amhara region and used as the first and the second language for some urban dwellers in the country.It is a working language for the Federal Government of Ethiopia.It serves the same in Gambella,Southern Nations,Nationalities and Peoples’and Benishangul-Gumuz regional states.The Amharic existential,possessive and locative constructions are characterized by using the same existential verb stem all-‘exist’.The verb is defective in its derivation and conjugation.Unlike the prototypical verbs of the language,the existential verb uses a different verb for imperfective and past verb forms.Unlike the regular verbs of the language,the existential verb,which is perfective in form,conveys present tense.It has been observed that indefinite nominals appear as the E(Existent)in existentials and possessives,whereas definite ones appear in locatives.The morphosyntactic features of existentials and locatives are the same in every aspect except the use of definiteness of the E(Existent).The possessives differ from the two constructions in word order and morphological structure of the verb.

Externalities as Compensatory Criteria of Compulsory Expropriation Actions

Ownership/private property and property inheritance are concepts well-established and constitutionally protected in our modern societies.Nevertheless,numerous provisions in the national legal framework enable the states to expropriate individual private goods under certain severe circumstances through compensation prerequisites.The present manuscript presents a short comparative study of the constitutional articles of many countries,regarding expropriation actions,examines the compensation techniques employed,and interrelates expropriation implementation with economic analysis methods and experimental economics.Furthermore,this paper states that the current Greek expropriate methods consist of an economic disturbance and externality in economic terms.

A Privacy-Preserving TPA-aided Remote Data Integrity Auditing Scheme in Clouds

The remote data integrity auditing technology can guarantee the integrity of outsourced data in clouds. Users can periodically run an integrity auditing protocol by interacting with cloud server, to verify the latest status of outsourced data. Integrity auditing requires user to take massive time-consuming computations, which would not be affordable by weak devices. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving TPA-aided remote data integrity auditing scheme based on Li et al.’s data integrity auditing scheme without bilinear pairings, where a third party auditor (TPA) is employed to perform integrity auditing on outsourced data for users. The privacy of outsourced data can be guaranteed against TPA in the sense that TPA could not infer its contents from the returned proofs in the integrity auditing phase. Our construction is as efficient as Li et al.’s scheme, that is, each procedure takes the same time-consuming operations in both schemes, and our solution does not increase the sizes of processed data, challenge and proof.

Flexible Defense Succeeds Creative Attacks!—A Simulation Approach Based on Position Data in Professional Football

Introduction: The key to success is finding the perfect mixture of tactical patterns and sudden breaks of them, which depends on the behavior of the opponent team and is not easy to estimate by just watching matches. According to the specific tactical team behavior of “attack vs. defense” professional football matches are investigated based on a simulation approach, professional football matches are investigated according to the specific tactical team behavior of “attack vs. defense.” Methods: The formation patterns of all the sample games are categorized by SOCCER© for defense and attack. Monte Carlo-Simulation can evaluate the mathematical, optimal strategy. The interaction simulation between attack and defense shows optimal flexibility rates for both tactical groups. Approach: A simulation approach based on 40 position data sets of the 2014/15 German Bundesliga has been conducted to analyze and optimize such strategic team behavior in professional soccer. Results: The results revealed that both attack and defense have optimal planning rates to be more successful. The more complex the success indicator, the more successful attacking player groups get. The results also show that defensive player groups always succeed in attacking groups below a specific planning rate value. Conclusion: Groups are always succeeding. The simulation-based position data analysis shows successful strategic behavior patterns for attack and defense. Attacking player groups need very high flexibility to be successful (stay in ball possession). In contrast, defensive player groups only need to be below a defined flexibility rate to be guaranteed more success.
