Authentication schemes are widely used mechanisms to thwart unauthorized access of resources over insecure networks. Several smart card based password authentication schemes have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we demonstrate the security limitations of a recently proposed password based authentication scheme, and show that their scheme is still vulnerable to forgery and offline password guessing attacks and it is also unable to provide user anonymity, forward secrecy and mutual authentication. With the intention of fixing the weaknesses of that scheme, we present a secure authentication scheme. We show that the proposed scheme is invulnerable to various attacks together with attacks observed in the analyzed scheme through both rigorous formal and informal security analysis. Furthermore, the security analysis using the widely-accepted Real-Or-Random (ROR) model ensures that the proposed scheme provides the session key (SK) security. Finally, we carry out the performance evaluation of the proposed scheme and other related schemes, and the result favors that the proposed scheme provides better trade-off among security and performance as compared to other existing related schemes.
We report infrared absorption of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ as a function of oxygen stoichiometry (0<δ<1) and copper substitution by iron in the spectral range of 450–700 cm−1. The strong bands associated with Cu-O vibrations undergo significant changes in their frequencies and intensities asδ is varied across the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase. These changes coupled with those arising as a result of doping with
iron has helped in identifying the nature of the vibrational modes. 相似文献
We address the problem of code generation for embedded DSP systems. Such systems devote a limited quantity of silicon to program
memory, so the embedded software must be sufficiently dense. Additionally, this software must be written so as to meet various
high-performance constraints. Unfortunately, current compiler technology is unable to generate dense, high-performance code
for DSPs, due to the fact that it does not provide adequate support for the specialized architectural features of DSPs via
machine-dependent code optimizations. Thus, designers often program the embedded software in assembly, a very time-consuming
task. In order to increase productivity, compilers must be developed that are capable of generating high-quality code for
DSPs. The compilation process must also be made retargetable, so that a variety of DSPs may be efficiently evaluated for potential
use in an embedded system. We present a retargetable compilation methodology that enables high-quality code to be generated
for a wide range of DSPs. Previous work in retargetable DSP compilation has focused on complete automation, and this desire
for automation has limited the number of machine-dependent optimizations that can be supported. In our efforts, we have given
code quality higher priority over complete automation. We demonstrate how by using a library of machine-dependent optimization
routines accessible via a programming interface, it is possible to support a wide range of machine-dependent optimizations,
albeit at some cost to automation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology, which has been used
to build good-quality compilers for three fixed-point DSPs.

This paper reports the analysis of key parameters affecting voltage transfer characteristics of pseudo PMOS organic inverters. Pentacene has been used as active material for PMOS Organic Thin Film transistor (OTFT). We have used two different inverter configurations for thorough analysis. Each configuration comprises of an enhancement mode driver (VThreshold = −9.7 V) and a depletion mode load (VThreshold = 11.7 V). First configuration has its source and gate terminals shorted. While, second configuration differs with its drain and gate terminals shorted. In order to surmise the theoretical performance of the inverters, we have used load matching technique. After investigating various parameters such as inverting gain, noise margin values (immunity to noise error signals) and threshold voltage value, influencing the voltage inverting efficiency of the two configurations mentioned above, it was found that an inverter with shorted source-gate load configuration is better of the two due to privileges such as saturation mode operation of load, low driver current with early saturation of enhancement mode driver, which facilitates full swing output voltage operation. Second configuration with shorted drain-gate load, lacks saturation mode operation of load and fails to deliver high voltage swing along with acceptable noise margin values and inverting gain. 相似文献
Optical burst switching (OBS) is emerging as one promising switching paradigm for the next generation optical networks. To support multiple services in burst-switching networks, the OBS paradigm should support some quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning. A major design issue in such networks is to reduce the blocking probability of the bursts arising due to resource contention at the intermediate core router. In this paper, we propose a signaling protocol which we call ‘Delay-on-Demand’ (OBS-DoD), to reduce blocking probability and support QoS in optical burst-switching networks. The proposed scheme guarantees that at least one of the bursts succeeds depending on its priority, propagation delay from the ingress router, and the burst-size when contention occurs at the core router. For this, we use a control packet to delay, in case of a contention, the transmission of bursts at the ingress router. We compare the performance of our proposal, by simulation, with an earlier proposed scheme, and show that the proposed OBS-DoD outperforms the earlier scheme in reducing the blocking probability. For simulation, we generated bursty traffic using an M/Pareto distribution. 相似文献
A two dissimiliar unit standby system is analysed. The priority unit can either be in normal or partial operative mode. When the unit fails from the partial mode, it undergoes minor repair and the unit becomes operative with different failure rate. If this unit fails again, it goes to major repair after which it works as good as new. The standby unit while in use is either operative or failed. This non priority unit fails without passing through the partial failure mode and undergoes only one type of repair with different repair time distribution. Failure and repair time distributions are negative exponential and general respectively. Regenerative technique in MRP is applied to obtain several reliability characteristics of interest to system designers. 相似文献
A two-unit series system, in which each unit is equipped with a separate detector to detect failure, is considered. The probability that a detector operates successfully at the time of need (i.e. when system fails) is a function of cost spent on the detector. The problem is that of allocation of total resources (cost) to the two detectors such that the overall expected profit is maximized. The optimization problem has been formulated. Two examples are included to show the uses of results. 相似文献
Multimedia rates are handled in 3G and beyond CDMA networks using orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes. Multimedia rates can have non uniform distribution of real time and non real time users. The paper describes fair single code and multi code designs to handle these rates. The single code design is for quantized rates and divides the OVSF code tree capacity according to the arrival distribution. The change in the distribution is dynamically reflected in the division of the code tree capacity for different rates. The multi code design is preferred for the system dominated by non quantized rates. Simulation results are presented to show the superiority of the proposed designs with its existing counterparts. 相似文献
Multicolor infrared (IR) focal planes are required for high-performance sensor applications. These sensors will require multicolor
focal plane arrays (FPAs) that will cover various wavelengths of interest in mid wavelength infrared/long wavelength infrared
(MWIR/LWIR) and long wavelength infrared/very long wavelength infrared (LWIR/VLWIR) bands. There has been significant progress
in HgCdTe detector technology for multicolor MWIR/LWIR and LWIR/VLWIR FPAs.1–3 Two-color IR FPAs eliminate the complexity of multiple single-color IR FPAs and provide a significant reduction of weight
and power in simpler, reliable, and affordable systems. The complexity of a multicolor IR detector MWIR/LWIR makes the device
optimization by trial and error not only impractical but also merely impossible. Too many different geometrical and physical
variables need to be considered at the same time. Additionally, material characteristics are only relatively controllable
and depend on the process repeatability. In this context, the ability of performing “simulation experiments” where only one
or a few parameters are carefully controlled is paramount for a quantum improvement of a new generation of multicolor detectors
for various applications. 相似文献
