We initiate the cryptographic study of order-preserving symmetric encryption (OPE), a primitive suggested in the database community by Agrawal et al. (SIGMOD ’04) for allowing efficient range queries on encrypted data. Interestingly, we first show that a straightforward relaxation of standard security notions for encryption such as indistinguishability against chosen-plaintext attack (IND-CPA) ...

A novel Strict Friendliness Verification (SFV) scheme based on the integrated key consisting of symmetric node identity, geographic location and round trip response time between the sender and the receiver radio in MANET is proposed. This key is dynamically updated for encryption and decryption of each packet to resolve Wormhole attack and Sybil attack. Additionally, it meets the minimal key le...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the results of symmetric and asymmetric surgery and responses to surgical amounts in patients with infantile esotropia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of patients with infantile esotropia who underwent bilateral medial rectus recession (symmetric surgery) and unilateral medial rectus recession with lateral rectus resection (asymmetric surgery) were analyzed. The resu...

in  cite{gl}, b. gerla and i. leuc{s}tean introduced the notion of similarity on mv-algebra. a similarity mv-algebra is an mv-algebra endowed with a binary operation $s$ that verifies certain additional properties. also, chirtec{s} in cite{c}, study the notion of similarity on l ukasiewicz-moisil algebras. in particular, strong similarity l ukasiewicz-moisil algebras were defined. in this paper...

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of a new symmetric macroacyclic Schiff base ligand (H2L) and related complexes with different metals. (H2L) was synthesized by the one pot condensation reaction of 2-[2-(2-formyl phenoxy)ethoxy]benzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzenethiol in a 1:2 molar ratio. The acyclic Schiff base was characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy and elemental anal...

Pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space are classified and it is proved that there are no pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of the complex projective space CPn for which the vector field ξ from the almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g) is a principal curvature vector field.

A graph is textit{symmetric}, if its automorphism group is transitive on the set of its arcs. In this paper, we  classifyall the connected cubic symmetric  graphs of order $36p$  and $36p^{2}$, for each prime $p$, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.
