Abstract Secret sharing allows one to share a piece of information among n participants in a way that only qualified subsets of participants can recover the secret whereas others cannot. Some of these participants involved may, however, want to forge their shares of the secret(s) in order to cheat other participants. Various cheater identifiable techniques have been devised in order to identify such cheaters in secret sharing schemes. On the other hand, Ramp secret sharing schemes are a practically efficient variant of usual secret sharing schemes with reduced share size and some loss in security. Ramp secret sharing schemes have many applications in secure information storage, information-theoretic private information retrieval and secret image sharing due to producing relatively smaller shares. However, to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist any cheater identifiable ramp secret sharing scheme. In this paper we define the security model for cheater identifiable ramp secret sharing schemes and provide two constructions for cheater identifiable ramp secret sharing schemes. In addition, the second construction is secure against rushing cheaters who are allowed to submit their shares during secret reconstruction after observing other participants’ responses in one round. Also, we do not make any computational assumptions for the cheaters, i.e., cheaters may be equipped with unlimited time and resources, yet, the cheating probability would be bounded above by a very small positive number.

AbstractThe progress of metaoptics relies on identifying photonic materials and geometries, the combination of which represents a promising approach to complex and desired optical functionalities. Material candidate options are primarily limited by natural availability. Thus, the search for meta-atom geometries, by either forward or inverse means, plays a pivotal role in achieving more sophisticated phenomena. Past efforts mainly focused on building the geometric library of individual meta-atoms and synthesizing various ones into a design. However, those efforts neglected the powerfulness of perturbative metaoptics due to the perception that perturbations are usually regarded as adverse and in need of being suppressed. Here, we report a perturbation-induced countersurveillance strategy using compound nanosieves mediated by structural and thermal perturbations. Private information can be almost perfectly concealed and camouflaged by the induced thermal-spectral drifts, enabling information storage and exchange in a covert way. This perturbative metaoptics can self-indicate whether the hidden information has been attacked during delivery. Our results establish a perturbative paradigm of securing a safer world of information and internet of things.

Blockchain Technology

The essence of “blockchain” is a shared database in which information stored is un-falsifiable, traceable, open, and transparent. Therefore, to improve the security of private information in medical systems, this article uses blockchain technology to design a method to protect private information in medical systems and effectively realize anti-theft control of private information. First, the Patient-oriented Privacy Preserving Access Control model is introduced into the access control process of private information in medical systems. Next, a private information storage platform is built by using blockchain technology, and information transmission is realized using standard cryptographic algorithms. In this process, file authorization contracts are also used to guarantee the security of private information and further prevent theft of medical private information. Our simulation results show that the storage response time of this method is kept below 1,000 ms, and the maximum information throughput rate reaches 550 kbit/s, which indicates that this method has strong performance in information storage and transmission efficiency. Moreover, the reliability and bandwidth utilization of data transmission across domains is higher, so the method has higher information security control performance and superior overall performance.

The mystery between the emotional improvement of medical information protection interest and long periods of administrative guideline has eased back advancement for electronic medical records (EMRs). In this paper, we propose a efficient, secure and decentralized Blockchain system for data privacy preserving and sharing. This manages confidentiality, authentication, data preserving and data sharing when handling sensitive information. We exploit consortium Blockchain and smart contracts to accomplish secure information storage and sharing, which forestalls information sharing without consent. The patient’s historical data, medical record, patient’s private information is very critical and needs to be stored and maintained securely. The proposed framework builds information security and eliminates the cost, time, and assets needed to deal with the medical care information records.

The interaction of electron beams with a large variety of materials for information storage has been the subject of numerous proposals and studies in the recent literature. The materials range from photographic to thermoplastic and magnetic, and the interactions with the electron beam for writing and reading the information utilize the energy, or the current, or even the magnetic field associated with the electron beam.

Thin film magnetic media are being used as low cost, high density forms of information storage. The development of this technology requires the study, at the sub-micron level, of morphological, crystallographic, and magnetic properties, throughout the depth of the deposited films. As the microstructure becomes increasingly fine, widi grain sizes approaching 100Å, the unique characterization capabilities of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have become indispensable to the analysis of such thin film magnetic media.Films were deposited at 225°C, on two NiP plated Al substrates, one polished, and one circumferentially textured with a mean roughness of 55Å. Three layers, a 750Å chromium underlayer, a 600Å layer of magnetic alloy of composition Co84Cr14Ta2, and a 300Å amorphous carbon overcoat were then sputter deposited using a dc magnetron system at a power of 1kW, in a chamber evacuated below 10-6 torr and filled to 12μm Ar pressure. The textured medium is presently used in industry owing to its high coercivity, Hc, and relatively low noise. One important feature is that the coercivity in the circumferential read/write direction is significandy higher than that in the radial direction.

The Standard Model

At the 1958 meeting of our society, then known as EMSA, the author introduced the concept of microspace and suggested its use to provide adequate information storage space and the use of electron microscope techniques to provide storage and retrieval access. At this current meeting of MSA, he wishes to suggest an additional use of the power of the electron microscope.The author has been contemplating this new use for some time and would have suggested it in the EMSA fiftieth year commemorative volume, but for page limitations. There is compelling reason to put forth this suggestion today because problems have arisen in the “Standard Model” of particle physics and funds are being greatly reduced just as we need higher energy machines to resolve these problems. Therefore, any techniques which complement or augment what we can accomplish during this austerity period with the machines at hand is worth exploring.
