for making many comments and corrections concerning these notes. All rings are commutative and contain multiplicative identity, moreover we will always insist that ring homomorphisms respect the multiplicative identity element. Local rings are assumed to be Noetherian. Additionally, all modules are unitary modules. We have made an attempt to be consistent with our notation: (1) Rings are often ...

Under certain circumstances the group manager holding a tracing key can reveal the identity of the signer from the signature. Practical group signature schemes should support membership revocation where the revoked member loses the capability to sign a message on...

Key management in opportunistic networks is a challenging problem that cannot be solved with existing solutions. In this paper, we analyze the requirements of key management in the framework of opportunistic networks and content-based forwarding. We then present a specific key management scheme that enables the bootstrapping of local, topology-dependent security associations between a node and ...

The preservation and promotion of neighbourhood identity is important in contemporary cities.

This paper investi...

In bilateral teleoperation, the operator holds a local robot which determines the motion of a remote robot and continuously receives delayed force feedback. Transparency is a measure of teleoperation system fidelity. The ideal teleoperator system is the identity channel, in which there is neither delay nor distortion. During the last decades transparency was widely analyzed using two-port hybri...
