Post-quantum identity-based authenticated multiple key agreement protocol

Yang Yang,Hongji Yuan,Linbo Yan,Yinglan Ruan 한국전자통신연구원 2023 ETRI Journal Vol.45 No.6

Authenticated multiple key agreement (AMKA) protocols provide participants with multiple session keys after one round of authentication. Many schemes use Diffie-Hellman or authenticated key agreement schemes that rely on hard integer factorizations that are vulnerable to quantum algorithms. Lattice cryptography provides quantum resistance to authenticated key agreement protocols, but the certificate always incurs excessive public key infrastructure management overhead. Thus, a lightweight lattice-based secure system is needed that removes this overhead. To answer this need, we provide a two-party lattice- and identity-based AMKA scheme based on bilateral short integer or computational bilateral inhomogeneous small integer solutions, and we provide a security proof based on the random oracle model. Compared with existing AMKA protocols, our new protocol has higher efficiency and stronger security.

CO2 storage capacity of anthracite coal in deep burial depth conditions and its potential uncertainty analysis: a case study of the No. 3 coal seam in the Zhengzhuang Block in Qinshui Basin, China

Hongjie Xu,Shuxun Sang,Jingfen Yang,Huihu Liu 한국지질과학협의회 2021 Geosciences Journal Vol.25 No.5

The storage of CO2 in deep unminable coal seams can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, CO2 storage in deep anthracite coal is complex with some uncertainties in the estimation of CO2 storage capacity. Based on isothermal adsorption experiments and gas solubility experiments under high temperature and pressure conditions, the total storage capacity of CO2 in anthracite coal is discussed. The results show that the absolute adsorption amount is over 44 cm3/g at temperatures of 318.15, 335.65, and 353.15 K as well as adsorption equilibrium pressures of 10 MPa. The storage capacity of adsorbed and free gas is 35–70 cm3/g and 5–8 cm3/g, respectively, within a depth range of 1000–2000 m. The soluble gas can be ignored for its low content between 0.22 cm3/g and 0.28 cm3/g with a proportion of less than 1%. The storage capacity of CO2 may be estimated inaccurately because of the heterogeneity and uncertainty of the macroscopic geological conditions and coal reservoir parameters. Taking the No. 3 coal seam in Zhengzhuang block as an example, the storage priority area was divided into supercritical area and subcritical area with five sub-areas according to storage conditions, and the storage capacity was calculated, showing a relatively good storage potential.

Two case studies on structural analysis of transmission towers under downburst

Yang, FengLi,Zhang, HongJie Techno-Press 2016 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.22 No.6

Downbursts are of great harm to transmission lines and many towers can even be destroyed. The downburst wind field model by Chen and Letchford was applied, and the wind loads of two typical transmission towers in inland areas and littoral areas were calculated separately. Spatial finite element models of the transmission towers were established by elastic beam and link elements. The wind loads as well as the dead loads of conductors and insulators were simplified and applied on the suspension points by concentrated form. Structural analysis on two typical transmission towers under normal wind and downburst was completed. The bearing characteristics and the failure modes of the transmission towers under downburst were determined. The failure state of tower members can be judged by the calculated stress ratios. It shows that stress states of the tower members were mainly controlled by 45 degree wind load. For the inland areas with low deign wind velocity, though the structural height is not in the highest wind velocity zone of downburst, the wind load under downburst is much higher than that under normal wind. The main members above the transverse separator of the legs will be firstly destroyed. For the littoral areas with high deign wind velocity, the wind load under downburst is lower than under normal wind. Transmission towers are not controlled by the wind loads from downbursts in design process.

Preparation and antifouling performance of PVDF-DCOIT composite hollow fiber membranes

Sen Qiao,Hongjie Cao,Yue Yang,Ruofei Jin,Jiti Zhou 한국화학공학회 2020 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.37 No.3

Membrane fouling is the main bottleneck that hinders the applications of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). 4,5-Dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT), as an environmentally-acceptable antifouling biocide, was mixed with Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to fabricate hollow fiber membrane via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), which was able to effectively improve the antifouling performance of the membranes in this work. Overall research of the prepared membrane revealed that membranes with 3 wt% DCOIT exhibited the optimum antifouling performance. With the addition of DCOIT, hydrophilicity and pure water flux of 3 wt% DCOIT membranes maintained remarkable improvement by 22.9% and 64.6% than that of membranes without DCOIT. Meanwhile, the surface morphologies of 3wt% DCOIT membranes were smoother than the control group in terms of SEM and AFM images, which was beneficial to alleviate membrane fouling. In antifouling experiments, the flux variation rate of membranes with 3 wt% DCOIT filtrated in bull serum albumin, sodium alginate and humic acid solution were 81.42%, 54.25%, 50.5%, while membrane without DCOIT were 64.6%, 24.72% and 29%, respectively. Similar results were obtained by filtrating anaerobic sludge for 24 h. The flux variations of 3 wt% DCOIT membranes were 59.4%, 47.8% and 46.0%, respectively in three stages. However, the flux variations of membranes without DCOIT were 44.8%, 36.7% and 19.8%, respectively, which showed better antifouling ability and higher flux recovery efficiency. The novel membranes would provide some theoretical basis and technical support for the rational combinations in elevating the overall antifouling properties of membranes.

Microstructure and strength of zirconia/stainless steel joints prepared by pressureless active brazing

Guiwu Liu,Hongjie Wang,Jianfeng Yang,Tianjian Lu,Guanjun Qiao 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2009 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.10 No.4

ZrO2 ceramic/stainless steel joints were fabricated by pressureless brazing using a Ag-Cu filler metal and a TiH2 powder precoating. The microstructure and microchemistry of the joint cross section were characterized and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The effects of brazing conditions on the joint shear strength were also investigated. The results showed that there existed three zones with distinct microstructural differences crossing the brazing interlayer. A reaction layer and a Ti-rich sublayer were formed at the ZrO2/filler interface. The influence of the brazing temperature on the joint strength was more remarkable than that of the holding time. In the experimental condition ranges, the joint strength first increased, and the maximum shear strength was over 90MPa with the optimized condition. Most of the joint fractures developed in the ceramic matrix near the ceramic/filler interface.

Junfeng Zhao,Jiantao Zhou,Hongji Yang 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.8 No.4

As a new service mode in cloud computing, SaaS (software as a service) brings many attractive advantages. Legacy systems can be revived through being reengineered to SaaS. In order to achieve reengineering, the analysis and understanding to legacy systems are essential. For this goal, an improved Bunch clustering system is proposed to implement automatic modularization to object-oriented software systems so as to help engineer understand legacy system, including introduction of modular dependency graph with relationship type information, adaptation to initial partition and adjustment to modularization quality. The experiment results show that the improvement of Bunch clustering system is effective. The improved Bunch clustering system can make the clustering results more stable and consistent to the benchmarks.

Development of TREND dynamics code for molten salt reactors

Yu, Wen,Ruan, Jian,He, Long,Kendrick, James,Zou, Yang,Xu, Hongjie Korean Nuclear Society 2021 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.53 No.2

The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), one of the six advanced reactor types of the 4th generation nuclear energy systems, has many impressive features including economic advantages, inherent safety and nuclear non-proliferation. This paper introduces a system analysis code named TREND, which is developed and used for the steady and transient simulation of MSRs. The TREND code calculates the distributions of pressure, velocity and temperature of single-phase flows by solving the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, along with a fluid state equation. Heat structures coupled with the fluid dynamics model is sufficient to meet the demands of modeling MSR system-level thermal-hydraulics. The core power is based on the point reactor neutron kinetics model calculated by the typical Runge-Kutta method. An incremental PID controller is inserted to adjust the operation behaviors. The verification and validation of the TREND code have been carried out in two aspects: detailed code-to-code comparison with established thermal-hydraulic system codes such as RELAP5, and validation with the experimental data from MSRE and the CIET facility (the University of California, Berkeley's Compact Integral Effects Test facility).The results indicate that TREND can be used in analyzing the transient behaviors of MSRs and will be improved by validating with more experimental results with the support of SINAP.
