In order to meet the needs of developing E-government, Egovernment integrated information services are proposed in this paper. First, we define E-government integrated information services. Second, we explore Egovernment integrated information service patterns. Third, we construct an Egovernment integrated information service platform. Finally, we give some suggestions on developing E-governmen...

A new syndrome of ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa with vitamin E deficiency caused by the missense mutation of á-tocopherol transfer protein (á-TTP) gene was recently proposed. After studying the first postmortem case with this mutation pathologically and biochemically, whether the symptoms can be treated by supplementation of vitamin E or not is discussed. The major pathological findings were ...

In this paper, we consider restricted data sharing between a set of parties that wish to provide some set of online services requiring such data sharing. Each party is assumed to store its data in private relational databases, and is given a set of mutually agreed set of authorization rules that specify access to attributes over individual relations or joins over relations owned by one or more ...

The continuous advances in sensing and positioning technologies have resulted in a dramatic increase in popularity of LocationBased Services (LBS). Nevertheless, the LBS can lead to user privacy breach due to sharing location information with potentially malicious services. A high degree of location privacy preservation for LBS is extremely required. In this paper, a clustering K-anonymity sche...

Delivering electronic goods over the Internet is one of the e-commerce applications that will proliferate in the coming years. Certified e-goods delivery is a process where valuable e-goods are exchanged for an acknowledgement of their reception. This paper proposes an efficient security protocol for certified e-goods delivery with the following features: (1) it ensures strong fairness for the ...

One of the essential security services needed to safeguard online transactions is fair exchange. In fair exchange protocols two parties can exchange their signatures in a fair manner, so that either each party gain the other’s signature or no one obtain anything useful. This paper examines security solutions for achieving fair exchange. It proposes new security protocols based on the "Certified...

P2P e-commerce applications have lower operational costs and inherently more scalable than conventional client-server online trading. Community Trust Stores (CTS) provide reliable and secure storage services for peers involved in P2P e-trading by storing trust data for the peers. Freely available cloud services can host the Community Trust Store and provide 24/7 availability to participating tr...

The mobile agent paradigm gains ever more acceptance for the creation of distributed applications particularly in the domain of electronic commerce In such applications a mobile agent roams the global Internet in search of services for its owner One of the problems with this approach is that malicious service providers on the agent s itinerary can access con dential information contained in the...

An interoperable credential system allows users to reference a single asymmetric key pair to logon tomultiple web sites and digitally sign transactions. Models that govern how keys are created, authorized, validated, and revoked are a crucial part of such a system. Thesemodels have security, scalability, and liability implications for businesses, so the requirements vary depending on the partie...

Cardiac IKr is a critical repolarizing current in the heart and a target for inherited and acquired long-QT syndrome (LQTS). Biochemical and functional studies have demonstrated that IKr channels are heteromers composed of both hERG 1a and 1b subunits, yet our current understanding of IKr functional properties derives primarily from studies of homooligomers of the original hERG 1a isolate. Here...
