A New ID-Based Proxy Blind Signature Scheme

An identity-based proxy blind signature scheme from bilinear pairings isintroduced, which combines the advantages of proxy signature and blind signature. Furthermore, ourscheme can prevent the original signer from generating the proxy blind signature, thus the profitsof the proxy signer are guaranteed. We introduce bilinear pairings to minimize computationaloverhead and to improve the related performance of our scheme. In addition, the proxy blindsignature presented is non-repudiable and it fulfills perfectly the security requirements of a proxyblind signature.

Application Research and Implementation of the CORBA-Based Web Distributed Network Management System

The distributed management has become an important tendency of development for the NMS (Network Management System) with the development of Internet. Based on the analysis of CORBA (Conmon Object Request Broker Architecture) technique, we mainly discuss about the applicability of the approach by which CORBA combined with Java has been applied to the system model and Web architecture: and address the applied frame and the interface definitions that are the, key technologies for implementing the Distributed Object Computing (DOC). In addition, we also conduct the research on its advantages and disadvantages and further expected improvements.

An Improved Spatially Aware Routing Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Network in Inter-Vehicle Communication

A new algorithm called spatially aware routing algorithm with enhanced learning (SAREL) is proposed to guarantee the rationality of route selecting in inter-vehicle communication scenario. Firstly, the traffic model is discussed and set up by using Poisson distribution. Then we analyze the process of traffic evaluation with enhanced learning, and exploit movement estimation to assist state memorization. The improvement of algorithm is provided at last compared with our previous work. Simulation results show that SAREL algorithm could achieve better performance in packet delivery ratio, especially when network connection ratio is average.

Research on the Validity Duration ofOff-Line E-cash

To solve the drawback of the present electionic cash (E-cash) schemes that the size of bank's transcripts database expands without bound, the concept of validity duration of E-cash is introduced in this paper. Through improving the users' blind transforms of Brands' scheme, we design an efficient off-line E-cash system based on the restrictive blind signature and representation problem. The security analysis shows that the users can not forge a valid electronic coin or double spend it, in addition, the bank can not trace an honest users' payment behaviours. In compare with Brand's scheme, our scheme reduces storage costs and computation overhead of the users and the banks. Most of all, the electronic cashes will be authorized within a limit period only, the size of bank's transcripts database becomes controllable.

Agent Communication Channel Based on BACnet

We analyze the common shortcoming in the existing agent MTPs (message transport protocols). With employing the File object and related service AtomicWriteFile of BACnet (a data communication protocol building automation and control networks), a new method of agent message transport is proposed and implemented. Every agent platform (AP) has one specified File object and agents in another AP can communicate with agents in the AP by using AtomicWriteFile service. Agent messages can be in a variety of formats. In implementation, BACnet/IP and Ethernet are applied as the BACnet data link layers respectively. The experiment results show that the BACnet can provide perfect support for agent communication like other conventional protocols such as hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), remote method invocation (RMI) etc, and has broken through the restriction of TCP/IP. By this approach, the agent technology is introduced into the building automation control network system.
