Illuminated by the integration of forward secure digital signature and blind signature, based on the variants of E1Gamal and assumption of difficulty in solving the discrete logarithm problem in galois field, a forward-secure weak blind signature scheme and a forward-secure strong blind signature scheme are proposed and their security is analyzed thoroughly in this paper. It turns out that forward security, blindness and aptitude of resisting forging attack demonstrated by these two schemes benefit a lot theoretically and practically.展开更多

The article outlines the historical development of the Intemet, from Web 1.0 to a participatory Web 2.0 embedded within everyday life and ultimately to the prospect of an autonomous Internet of Things. The benefits of an ethnographic approach for understanding such developments in depth and examining taken-for-granted assumptions are outlined alongside an account of some of the challenges that digital technologies pose for an ethnographic methodology. Amongst these challenges are the difficulties inherent in mapping out a field site that effectively captures the complexity of online/offline connections and of developing a sufficient degree of immersion and co-presence for a rich understanding to be attained. Finally, the challenges offered by the emergence of mobile Internet, algorithmic filtering of information and unpredictable flows of data are explored. It is suggested that the ethnographer of the Internet can usefully position their task as being to explore a socially constructed yet technologically mediated landscape, immersing themselves in it, interrogating how others experience it and mapping the ways in which it becomes meaningful to those who navigate its complexities.展开更多
