An Efficient Multistage Secret Sharing Scheme Using Linear One-way Functions and Bilinear Maps

In a Multistage Secret Sharing (MSSS) scheme, the authorized subsets of participants could reconstruct a number of secrets in consecutive stages. A One-Stage Multisecret Sharing (OSMSS) scheme is a special case of MSSS schemes that all secrets are recovered simultaneously. In these schemes, in addition to the individual shares, the dealer should provide the participants with a number of public values related to the secrets. The less the number of public values, the more efficient the scheme. It is desired that MSSS and OSMSS schemes provide the computational security; however, we show in this paper that OSMSS schemes do not fulfill the promise. Furthermore, by introducing a new multi-use MSSS scheme based on linear one-way functions, we show that the previous schemes can be improved in the number of public values. Compared to the previous MSSS schemes, the proposed scheme has less complexity in the process of share distribution. Finally, using bilinear maps, the participants are provided with the ability of verifying the released shares from other participants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first verifiable MSSS scheme in which the number of public values linearly depends on the number of the participants and the secrets and which does not require secure communication channels

Data Service Outsourcing and Privacy Protection in Mobile Internet

Mobile Internet data have the characteristics of large scale, variety of patterns, and complex association. On the one hand, it needs efficient data processing model to provide support for data services, and on the other hand, it needs certain computing resources to provide data security services. Due to the limited resources of mobile terminals, it is impossible to complete large-scale data computation and storage. However, outsourcing to third parties may cause some risks in user privacy protection. This monography focuses on key technologies of data service outsourcing and privacy protection, including the existing methods of data analysis and processing, the fine-grained data access control through effective user privacy protection mechanism, and the data sharing in the mobile Internet

ISBIS 2016: Meeting on Statistics in Business and Industry

This Book includes the abstracts of the talks presented at the 2016 International Symposium on Business and Industrial Statistics, held at Barcelona, June 8-10, 2016, hosted at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Barcelona TECH, by the Department of Statistics and Operations Research. The location of the meeting was at ETSEIB Building (Escola Tecnica Superior d'Enginyeria Industrial) at Avda Diagonal 647. The meeting organizers celebrated the continued success of ISBIS and ENBIS society, and the meeting draw together the international community of statisticians, both academics and industry professionals, who share the goal of making statistics the foundation for decision making in business and related applications. The Scientific Program Committee was constituted by: David Banks, Duke University Amílcar Oliveira, DCeT - Universidade Aberta and CEAUL Teresa A.

Recent Trends in Communication Networks

In recent years there has been many developments in communication technology. This has greatly enhanced the computing power of small handheld resource-constrained mobile devices. Different generations of communication technology have evolved. This had led to new research for communication of large volumes of data in different transmission media and the design of different communication protocols. Another direction of research concerns the secure and error-free communication between the sender and receiver despite the risk of the presence of an eavesdropper. For the communication requirement of a huge amount of multimedia streaming data, a lot of research has been carried out in the design of proper overlay networks. The book addresses new research techniques that have evolved to handle these challenges
