The enhanced scheme requires proof of the possession of both a password and a snort card, and provides more security guarantees in two aspects： 1） it addresses the untmceability property so that any third party accessing the communication channel cannot link two authentication sessions originated from the same user, and 2） the use of a smart card prevents offiine attacks to guess passwords. The security and efficiency analyses indicate that our enhanced scheme provides the highest level of security at reasonable computational costs. Therefore, it is a practical authentication scheme with attractive security features for wireless sensor networks.展开更多

The key attribute of this framework is using of nonlinear bijective mappings or keyless hash functions for random coding. We investigate the computational security of the proposed ciphers against chosen-plaintext-chosen-initialization-vector attacks and show that it is based on the hardness of solving some systems of random nonlinear Boolean equations. We also provide guidelines for choosing components to design randomizers for specified ciphers.展开更多

Moreover, the fraud prevention mechanism is fragile and does not provide strong guarantees that can be necessary for flow of legal documents. Mediated signatures have been proposed as a mechanism to effectively disable signature cards. In this paper we propose further mechanisms that can be applied on top of mediated RSA, compatible with the standard format, but providing security guarantees even in the case when RSA becomes broken or the keys are compromised. The solution is immune tokleptographic attacks as only deterministic algorithms are used on user＇s side.展开更多

This is done through an efficient use of existing sources of explicit and tacit knowledge in the field of vocational occupational safety and health （OSH） training. This project identifies three specific research steps for the development of the knowledge management framework of the information technology-based approach for improving occupational safety training of young workers, including： （1） the development of the conceptual model of the flow of explicit knowledge of OSH; （2） evaluation of the effectiveness of formal and explicit knowledge sources for OSH and training methods using these sources in the context of attitudes towards health and safety at work; and （3） verification of the proposed model of vocational training with the use of combined explicit and hidden knowledge. The proposed framework includes consideration of the effectiveness of the formal and informal sources of safety knowledge. A mapping from the formal sources of explicit knowledge about the occupational safety to expected attitudes （hidden knowledge） towards OSH outcomes, including emotional, cognitive, and behavioral aspects has been used. The above framework should help to improve the system of vocational training for young workers in Poland.展开更多
