The Indian Ocean Zonal Mode (IOZM) has gained considerable attention in the past decade due to its role in causing widespread flooding and droughts in the continents and islands surrounding the Indian Ocean. The IOZM has also been observed to vary on a low-frequency (multi-decadal) basis, making its behavior important to understand both for mid-range 21st century climate prediction and for pale...

A proxy signature allows a designated person, called a proxy signer, to sign the message on behalf of the original signer. Proxy signatures are very useful tools when one needs to delegate his/her signing capability to other party. A number of proxy signature schemes have been proposed and succeeded for proxy delegations, but the schemes are in defective in proxy revocations. In this paper, we ...

Abstract A (t, n) threshold proxy signature scheme enables an original signer to delegate the signature authority to a proxy group of n member such that t or more than t proxy signers can cooperatively sign messages on behalf of the original signer. In the paper, we review the security of some nonrepudiable threshold proxy signature schemes with known signers. We show that Sun’s threshold proxy...

In a ðt; nÞ threshold proxy signature scheme, the original signer delegates the power of signing messages to a designated proxy group of n members. Any t or more proxy signers of the group can cooperatively issue a proxy signature on behalf of the original signer, but ðtÿ 1Þ or less proxy signers cannot. Previously, all of the proposed threshold proxy signature schemes have been based on the di...

Understanding the dynamics of climate change in its full richness requires the knowledge of long temperature time series. Although long-term, widely distributed temperature observations are not available, there are other forms of data, known as climate proxies, that can have a statistical relationship with temperatures and have been used to infer temperatures in the past before direct measureme...

In a ) , ( n t threshold proxy signature scheme, one original signer delegates a group of n proxy signers to sign messages on behalf of the original signer. When the proxy signature is created, at least t proxy signers cooperate to generate valid proxy signatures and any less than t proxy signers can’t cooperatively generate valid proxy signatures. So far, all of proposed threshold proxy signat...

Introduction: Trade networks of crude oil are susceptible to cascade initial shocks that increase systemic trade risks and threaten energy security. This study introduces a novel method modelling risk which is combined with sentiment proxy from network perspective. Method: We construct instability evaluate the uncertainty in country use PageRank algorithm measure supplier diversity perspective ...

An identity-based multi-proxy signature is a type of proxy signatures in which the delegation of signing right is distributed among a number of proxy signers. In this type of cryptographic primitive, cooperation of all proxy signers in the proxy group generates the proxy signatures of roughly the same size as that of standard proxy signatures on behalf of the original signer, which is more effi...
