In this paper, the proof of knowledge of divisibility is given and a novel membership revocation method in ACJT group signature scheme is proposed: the group manager issues the product E of the public keys of current members in the group, when a group member wants to sign, he should not only proves that he has a membership certificate, but also proves that the public key in his certificate divides exactly the public key product E with zero knowledge. The proposed method is efficient since the group manager only needs one division and one exponentiation when a group member is deleted, while the signing and verifying procedure are independent of the number of current group members and excluded members, as well as the original group public key and membership certificates needn't be changed.展开更多

Maintaining a consistent member view is the foundation of reliable cluster managements, and it also raises several challenge issues for large scale cluster systems deployed with virtual machines (which we call virtualized clusters). In this paper, we introduce our experience in design and implementation of scalable member view management on large-scale virtual clusters. Our research contributions include three-aspects : 1 ) we propose a scalable and reliable management infrastructure that combines a peer-to-peer structure and a hierarchy structure to maintain a consistent member view in virtual clusters; 2 ) we present a light-weighted group membership algorithm that can reach the consistent member view within a single round of message exchange; 3 ) we design and implement a scalable membership service that can provide virtual machines and maintain a consistent member view in virtual clusters. Our work is verified on Dawning 5000A, which ranked No. 10 of Top 500 super computers in November, 2008.展开更多
