Privacy has become one of the most important human rights of the modern age. In order to verify the validity of the proxy signature, the verifier need get the original signers’ public key and the proxy signer’s public key. Obviously, the verification would leak the relationship between the proxy signer and the original signer. Using the technology of pseudonym, in this paper, we propose a simpl...

BACKGROUND Quality of life (QoL) is an important outcome for people with dementia living in care homes but usually needs to be rated by a proxy. We do not know if relative or paid carer proxy reports differ. We conducted the first systematic review and meta-analysis of data investigating whether and how these proxy reports of QoL differ. METHODS We searched four databases: Medline, Embase, Ps...

Caching dynamic content can bring many benefits to the performance and scalability of Web application servers. However, such mechanisms are usually tightly coupled to individual application servers (or even applications) that prevent caching at more advantageous points. In this paper we propose an approach to enable dynamic content caching at enhanced Web proxies which requires only simple modi...

Nine cases of suspected Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP), involving pets as proxies, were identified among 448 cases of non-accidental injury to small animals. These cases, recorded by a random sample of small animal practitioners in the UK, demonstrated several combinations of features, including attention-seeking behaviour by the owner, real and apparently factitious clinical signs, delibe...

SPARQL-Proxy is a portable Web application that works as a proxy server of a SPARQL endpoint. It provides several functions such as job scheduling for SPARQL queries, validating the safety of query statements, and caching of SPARQL search results to improve response time performance.

As Web proxies become increasingly widespread there is a critical need to establish a benchmark that can compare the performance of di erent proxy servers and predict their performance in practice In this paper we describe the Wisconsin Proxy Benchmark WPB and the performance comparison of four proxy software using the Benchmark Using the benchmark we also study the e ect of more disk arms on p...

In the last few years, the traditonal certificate-based setting is replaced by the ID-based setting. Proxy signatures allow the delegation of signing rights from an original user to its proxy agent. Normally, the original signer can authorize a group of proxy agents to sign any document on its behalf. Currently in our study, we have proposed an ID-based multi-proxy signature scheme, from biline...

OF THE DISSERTATION Tolerating Denial-of-Service Attacks – A System Approach by Ju Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, San Diego, 2005 Professor Andrew A. Chien, Chair Proxy network-based defense has recently emerged to address an open research challenge – protecting Internet service applications from Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Such schemes use a proxy ...
