In this paper, we give a new short proof of the dual of Spivey’s Bell number identity due to Mező. Our approach follows from basic manipulations involving a fundamental identity representing factorials in the Zeon algebra. This work, along with a previous one due to the author and dos Anjos, shows that Spivey’s and Mező’s identities have at their root a common underlying algebraic origin.

This document describes a key management protocol variant for the Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) protocol that relies on a trusted key management service. In particular, this variant utilizes Identity-Based Authenticated Key Exchange (IBAKE) framework that allows the participating clients to perform mutual authentication and derive a session key in an asymmetric Identity-Based Encryption (I...

Digital identity management helps users and service providers to manage, control and transmit personal data within digital communication systems.

Digital identity management ties these tasks into one single concept for a system level component which can ...

In many ways, globalization created the problem of representation for feminist solidarity across the borders of the nation state. This problem is one of presenting a cohesive identity for representation in the transnational public sphere. This paper proposes a solution to this problem of a cohesive identity for women’s representation by drawing on the work of Paul Ricœur. What these women seem ...

This paper argues for a robust notion of collective identity which is not reduced to a psychological conception of identity. In a first part the debate on the concept of identity raised by several authors is taken up critically with the intention to defend a strong sociological conception of identity which by definition is a collective identity. The basic assumption is that collective identitie...

Evidence suggests that underlying the human system processing facial expressions are two types of representation of expression: one dependent on identity and the other independent of identity. We recently presented findings indicating that identity-dependent representations are encoded using a prototype-referenced scheme, in a manner notably similar to that proposed for facial identity. Could i...
