In this protocol, we introduce an encoding process to encode two classical bits information into one of the four one-qubit unitary operations implemented by Alice and the Bell states measurement implemented by Bob in stead of direct measuring the previously shared Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs by both of the distant parties, Alice and Bob.Considering the practical application we can get the conclusion that our protocol has some advantages. It not only simplifies the measurement which may induce potential errors, but also improves the effectively transmitted rate of the generated qubits by the raw key. Here we also discuss eavesdropping attacks against the scheme and the channel loss.展开更多

Certificateless signcryption and pro- xy signcryption in identity-based cryptography were proposed for different applications. Most of these schemes are constructed by bilinear pairings from elliptic curves. However, some schemes were recently presented without pai- rings. In this paper, we present a certificateless proxy identity-based signcryption scheme with- out bilinear pairings, which is efficient and secure.展开更多

A probabilistic encryption algorithm is generally adopted in public-key encryption protocols. Here we consider the way it increases the unicity distance of both classical and quantum private-key encryption schemes. The security of quantum probabilistic privatekey encryption schemes against two kinds of attacks is analyzed. By using the no-signalling postulate, we show that the scheme can resist attack to the key. The scheme's security against plaintext attack is also investigated by considering the information-theoretic indistinguishability of the encryption scheme. Finally, we make a conjecture regarding Breidbart's attack.展开更多

It is also widely used for biological research. The first complete mitochondrial genome of T. rnolitor was determined for the first time by long PCR and conserved primer walking approaches. The results showed that the entire mitogenome of T. molitor was 15 785 bp long, with 72.35% A＋T content [deposited in GenBank with accession number KF418153]. The gene order and orientation were the same as the most common type suggested as ancestral for insects. Two protein-coding genes used atypical start codons （CTA in ND2 and AAT in COX1）, and the remaining 11 protein-coding genes started with a typical insect initiation codon ATN. All tRNAs showed standard clover-leaf structure, except for tRNASer （AGN）, which lacked a dihydrouridine （DHU） arm. The newly added T. molitor mitogenome could provide information for future studies on yellow meal worm.展开更多

To evaluate the scheme, a series of statistical tests are employed, and the results show good random-look nature of the ciphertext. Furthermore, we apply our algorithm to encrypt a grey-scale image to show the key sensitivity.展开更多

It is a balance between usability and security to set keys or passwords for these multiple accounts. Password reuse has to be avoided due to the domino effect of malicious administrators and crackers. However,human memorability constrains the number of keys. Single sign-on server,key hashing,key strengthening and petname system are used in the prior arts to use only one key for multiple online accounts. The unique site keys are derived from the common master secret and specific domain name. These methods cannot be applied to offline accounts such as file encryption. We invent a new method and system applicable to offline and online accounts. It does not depend on HTTP server and domain name,but numeric 4-digit passcode,key hashing,key strengthening and hash truncation. Domain name is only needed to resist spoofing and phishing attacks of online accounts.展开更多

To solve this problem, we propose a fast weighted bit flipping algo- rithm. Specifically, based on the identically dis- tributed error bits, a parallel bit-selection met- hod is proposed to reduce the selection delay of the flipped bits. The delay analysis demon- strates that, the decoding speed of LDPC codes can be significantly improved by the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, simulation results ver- ify the validity of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The work proposed some functionalities such as open password entry with active boxes, combined encryption methods and agent that can be incorporated into an open database system. It designed and implemented an algorithm that would not allow users to have free access into open database system. A user entering his password only needs to carefully study the sequence of codes and active boxes that describe his password and then enter these codes in place of his active boxes. The approach does not require the input code to be hidden from anyone or converted to place holder characters for security reasons. Integrating this scheme into an open database system is viable in practice in term of easy use and will improve security level of information.展开更多

Design [A] is an encryption-and-decryption implementation based on the basic iteration architecture. This design not only supports 128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit keys, but saves hardware resources because of the iteration architecture and sharing technology. Design [B] is a method of the 2×2 hybrid pipelining architecture. Based on the AES interleaved mode of operation, the design successfully accomplishes the algorithm, which operates in the feedback mode (cipher block chaining). It not only guarantees security of encryption/decryption, but obtains high data throughput of 1.05 Gb/s. The two designs have been realized on Aitera′s EP20k300EBC652-1 devices.展开更多
