Fuzzy systems can aid in diminishing uncertainty and noise from biometric security applications by providing an intelligent layer to the existing physical make them reliable. In absence of such fuzzy systems, a little random perturbation captured human biometrics could disrupt whole system, which may even decline authentication requests legitimate entities during protocol execution. literature,...

An RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) system provides the mechanism to identify tags to readers and then to execute specific RFID-enabled applications. In those applications, secure protocols using lightweight cryptography need to be developed and the privacy of tags must be ensured. In 2010, Batina et al. proposed a privacy-preserving grouping proof protocol for RFID based on ECC (Elliptic ...

Precision agriculture encompasses automation and application of a wide range information technology devices to improve farm output. In this environment, smart collect exchange massive number messages with other servers over public channels. Consequently, farming is exposed diverse attacks, which can have serious consequences since the sensed data are normally processed help determine agricultur...

Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) have recently received significant attention by researchers due to their high performance such as low computational cost and small key size. In this paper a novel untraceable blind signature scheme is presented. Since the security of proposed method is based on difficulty of solving discrete logarithm over an elliptic curve, performance of the proposed scheme ...

The Cipher text-policy Attribute Based Encryption for secure data retrieval in decentralized Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) where multiple key authorities manage their attributes independently. Immediate attribute revocation enhances backward/forward secrecy of confidential data by reducing the windows of vulnerability. Key escrow problem is resolved by an escrow-free key issuing protocol ...

As a response to a growing interest in RFID systems such as Internet of Things technology along with satisfying the security of these networks, proposing secure authentication protocols are indispensable part of the system design. Hence, authentication protocols to increase security and privacy in RFID applications have gained much attention in the literature. In this study, security and privac...

OBJECTIVE The aims of the present study were to analyze the association between discontinuation of paroxetine (PAX) and the genetic variants of the polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) in Japanese patients with panic disorder (PD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). METHODS The 5-HTTLPR genotype was determined by polymerase chain reaction method...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, due to their ability to uniquely identify every individual item and low cost, are well suited for supply chain management and are expected to replace barcodes in the near future. However, unlike barcodes, these tags have a longer range in which they are allowed to be scanned, subjecting them to unauthorized scanning by malicious readers and to various...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems aim to identify objects in open environments with neither physical nor visual contact. They consist of transponders inserted into objects, of readers, and usually of a database which contains information about the objects. The key point is that authorised readers must be able to identify tags without an adversary being able to trace them. Traceabili...

Authentication for low-cost Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a booming research topic. The challenge is to develop secure protocols using lightweight cryptography, yet ensuring privacy. A current trend is to design such protocols upon the Learning Parity from Noise (LPN) problem. The first who introduced this solution were Hopper and Blum in 2001. Since then, many protocols have been de...
