Design a Secure and Practical Metering Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
More and more metering schemes based on some special protocols or mechanisms are used to calculate the number of visits which a website receives in a certain time frame. Then, the amount of money that an advertiser pay to a website depends on this number of visits. Until now, many protocols were suggested for metering schemes in literature. However, the discussion mainly focused on the theory of the metering scheme. How to design or realize the metering scheme is unclear. In this paper, a general transforming method which can transform a secret sharing scheme into a metering scheme is proposed. Then we follow this methodology to design a practical metering scheme based on a modular approach.

An ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication. This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

A multi-secret sharing scheme (MSS) allows a dealer to share multiple secrets among a set of participants. in such a way a multi-secret sharing scheme (MSS) allows a dealer to share multiple secrets among a set of participants, such that any authorized subset of participants can reconstruct the secrets. Up to now, existing MSSs either require too long shares for participants to be perfect secur...

This study presents a combined pneumatic seed-metering device (SMD) that could not only fill, carry, and meter seeds, but also switch quickly between seed-metering and seed-cleaning modes, and clean seeds thoroughly and rapidly. The seed-filling, seed-carrying, and seed-metering modes of the SMD were analyzed based on a theoretical kinematic model. Furthermore, a three-factor, three-level ortho...
متن کاملProvably Secure Metering Scheme
Naor and Pinkas introduced metering schemes at Eurocrypt '98 in order to decide on advertisement fees for web servers. In the schemes, any server should be able to construct a proof to be sent to an audit agency if and only if it has been visited by at least a certain number, say k, of clients. This paper rst shows an attack for their schemes such that only two malicious clients can prevent a s...
متن کاملMetering Schemes for General Access Structures
A metering scheme is a method by which an audit agency is able to measure the interaction between servers and clients during a certain number of time frames. Naor and Pinkas 7] considered schemes in which any server is able to construct a cryptographically secure proof if and only if it has been visited by at least a number, say h, of clients in a given time frame. In this paper we construct me...
