  • Domain-Specific Pseudonymous Signatures Revisited
    Domain-Specific Pseudonymous Signatures Revisited Kamil Kluczniak Wroclaw University of Technology, Department of Computer Science [email protected] Abstract. Domain-Specific Pseudonymous Signature schemes were re- cently proposed for privacy preserving authentication of digital identity documents by the BSI, German Federal Office for Information Secu- rity. The crucial property of domain-specific pseudonymous signatures is that a signer may derive unique pseudonyms within a so called domain. Now, the signer's true identity is hidden behind his domain pseudonyms and these pseudonyms are unlinkable, i.e. it is infeasible to correlate two pseudonyms from distinct domains with the identity of a single signer. In this paper we take a critical look at the security definitions and construc- tions of domain-specific pseudonymous signatures proposed by far. We review two articles which propose \sound and clean" security definitions and point out some issues present in these models. Some of the issues we present may have a strong practical impact on constructions \provably secure" in this models. Additionally, we point out some worrisome facts about the proposed schemes and their security analysis. Key words: eID Documents, Privacy, Domain Signatures, Pseudonymity, Security Definition, Provable Security 1 Introduction Domain signature schemes are signature schemes where we have a set of users, an issuer and a set of domains. Each user obtains his secret keys in collaboration with the issuer and then may sign data with regards to his pseudonym. The crucial property of domain signatures is that each user may derive a pseudonym within a domain. Domain pseudonyms of a user are constant within a domain and a user should be unable to change his pseudonym within a domain, however, he may derive unique pseudonyms in each domain of the system.

  • A Signature Scheme with Unlinkable-Yet-Acountable Pseudonymity for Privacy-Preserving Crowdsensing
    A Signature Scheme with Unlinkable-yet-Acountable Pseudonymity for Privacy-Preserving Crowdsensing Victor Sucasas, IEEE Member; Georgios Mantas, IEEE Member; Joaquim Bastos; Francisco Damia˜o; Jonathan Rodriguez, IEEE Senior Member Abstract—Crowdsensing requires scalable privacy-preserving Smart City and crowdsensing participants. From the Smart City authentication that allows users to send anonymously sensing perspective the security concern is twofold. Firstly, sensors reports, while enabling eventual anonymity revocation in case are distributed and carried be citizens who could be malicious of user misbehavior. Previous research efforts already provide users sensing fake data or honest users with defective sensors. efficient mechanisms that enable conditional privacy through Secondly, citizens are rewarded for contributing to the sensing pseudonym systems, either based on Public Key Infrastructure tasks, and hence selfish users could submit their reports several (PKI) or Group Signature (GS) schemes. However, previous schemes do not enable users to self-generate an unlimited number times to increase their profits. From the citizens’ perspective of pseudonyms per user to enable users to participate in diverse the main concern is the location privacy, since crowdsensing sensing tasks simultaneously, while preventing the users from participants submit sensing data together with geolocation participating in the same task under different pseudonyms, which information [7]. Thus the Smart City can identify and locate is referred to as sybil attack. This paper addresses this issue by citizens, which can discourage citizens from participating in providing a scalable privacy-preserving authentication solution the sensing tasks [8],[9],[10]. for crowdsensing, based on a novel pseudonym-based signature scheme that enables unlinkable-yet-accountable pseudonymity.

  • The Indexing of Welsh Personal Names
    The indexing of Welsh personal names Donald Moore Welsh personal names sometimes present the indexer with problems not encountered when dealing with English names. The Welsh patronymic system of identity is the most obvious; this was normal in the Middle Ages, and traces of its usage survived into the mid-nineteenth century. Patronymics have since been revived as alternative names in literary and bardic circles, while a few individuals, inspired by the precedents of history, are today attempting to use them regularly in daily life. Other sorts of alternative names, too, have been adopted by writers, poets, artists and musicians, to such effect that they are often better known to the Welsh public than the real names. A distinctive pseudonym has a special value in Wales, where a restricted selection of both first names and surnames has been the norm for the last few centuries. Apart from the names themselves, there is in Welsh a linguistic feature which can be disconcerting to those unfamiliar with the language: the 'mutation' or changing of the initial letter of a word in certain phonetic and syntactic contexts. This can also occur in place-names, which were discussed by the present writer in The Indexer 15 (1) April 1986. Some of the observations made there about the Welsh language will be relevant here also. Indexing English names 'Fitzwarin family' under 'F' and 'Sir John de la Mare' According to English practice a person is indexed under 'D' (the last, though French, being domiciled in under his or her surname. First names, taken in England).1 alphabetical order, word by word, are then used to Indexing Welsh names determine the sequence of entries when the same English conventions of nomenclature apply today in surname recurs in the index ('first' = 'Christian' = Wales as much as in England, but there are three 'baptismal' = 'given' = 'forename').

Browne Kuang-Chi Hung Finding Patterns in Nature: Asa Gray’s Plant Geography and Collecting Networks (1830s-1860s) Abstract It is well known that American botanist Asa Gray’s 1859 paper on the floristic similarities between Japan and the United States was among the earliest applications of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory in plant geography. Commonly known as Gray’s “disjunction thesis,” Gray's diagnosis of that previously inexplicable pattern not only provoked his famous debate with Louis Agassiz but also secured his role as the foremost advocate of Darwin and Darwinism in the United States.

  • The Smithsonian and the US Navy in the North Pacific in The
    Pacific Science (1998), vol. 52, no. 4: 301-307 © 1998 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved "In Behalf of the Science of the Country": The Smithsonian and the U.S. Navy in the North Pacific in the 1850s1 MARC ROTHENBERG 2 ABSTRACT: During the early l850s, the United States launched two major expeditions to the Pacific, as well as a series of surveys of the American West. Although the U.S. Army had developed a strong symbiotic relationship with the civilian scientific community, the U.S. Navy was still attempting to define its role in American science. This paper compares and contrasts the role of science, especially civilian science, in the U.S. Naval Expedition to Japan and the U.S. Naval Expedition to the North Pacific in the context of American military-civilian scientific cooperation during that period. Special attention is paid to the role of the Smithsonian Institution, the leading civilian scientific institution in the United States, in the two naval expeditions. IN THE EARLY l850s, the U.S. Navy launched and scientific reconnaissances in the Ameri­ two major expeditions to the Pacific. These can West known as the Pacific Railroad Sur­ were the U.S. Naval Expedition to Japan, veys. The primary objective of these surveys better known as the Perry Expedition, which was to provide data to allow an informed set sail in November 1852, and the U.S. Naval decision as to the route for the transconti­ Expedition to the North Pacific, also known nental railroad. These surveys were the cul­ as the North Pacific Exploring Expedition mination of a number of pre-Civil War or the Ringgold/Rodgers Expeditions, which expeditions conducted by the army in the departed the United States in June 1853.

The Fall From Grace of tt That "Base Wretch" Rafinesque Charles Boewe ll. Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1783-1840) is known in Kentucky because of his short and stormy professorship at Transylvania University, 1819-1826, during its period of greatness under the presidency of the Rev. Horace Holley. Better remembered for his eccentricities than for his lasting accomplishments-largely because of a colorful account by his friend Audubon1-he continues to { elicit popular interest as a square peg in a round hole.2 The events s of his life are known almost entirely from A Life of Travels, the short autobiography he published in Philadelphia, at his own expense, in 1836. Like other autobiographies, this slim volume must be treated with a degree of skepticism wherever its events are not corroborated by the accounts of others.

  • My Dear Agassiz
    AGASSIZ AND GRAY: A RECENTLY DISCOVERED LETTER By Brenda Hooser Dear Agassiz, Because the loss of our friendship pains me greatly I feel I must make one last attempt to convince you to look again at the evidence for evolution and natural selection as its mechanism. Please do not be angry with me for trying; my great love for you compels me to do so. First, I must admonish you. Your well-known objections to the theory of evolution are grounded in your presuppositions about Nature and God; “that species do not pass insensibly into one another, but they appear unexpectedly, without direct relations with their precursors” and that “fossils were so well fitted to their needs they were surely the result of intelligent planning.” (Bolles, p. 29) Mr. Darwin, after comparing the human eye to a telescope concludes, “and we naturally infer that the eye has been formed by a somewhat analogous process. But may not this inference be presumptuous? Have we any right to assume that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man?” (p. 219) Indeed, the telescope is constructed differently than the eye it mimics. You encourage your students to open their eyes, look and not be afraid to consider new ideas. And what is evolution but a new idea? I understand you recognize “the innovation inherent in Darwin’s new method, [yet think that] theories should not be founded on hypotheses, but on close observation of nature and comparison of facts.” (Croce, p. 48) I urge you to look again at the facts.
