Using Randomizers for Batch Verification of ECDSA Signatures

Randomizers are popularly used to prevent various types of attacks on batch-verification schemes. Recently, several algorithms based upon symbolic computation are proposed for the batch verification of ECDSA signatures. In this article, we demonstrate that the concept of randomizers can be easily embedded in these symbolic-computation algorithms. The performance degradation caused by randomizer...

An Investigation on Corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking initiation of a Ferritic Stainless Steel in a Tertiary Amine Solution

The present study focused on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion behavior of ferritic stainless steel (grade 430) in activated methyl diethanolamine (aMDEA) solution, which is classified as a tertiary amine. In this regard, cyclic polarization and U-bend tests were performed in CO2 loaded aMDEA with different concentrations at 25 and 70 °C to observe corrosion behavior and ...

Failure mechanics of organic–inorganic multilayer permeation barriers in flexible electronics

Organic–inorganic multilayer permeation barriers are emerging as a promising solution to the stringent barrier requirement of flexible electronics. Yet the mechanical failure of the multilayer permeation barriers could be fatal to their barrier performance. We study two co-evolving failure mechanisms of the multilayer permeation barriers under tension, namely, the cracking of the inorganic oxid...

The Effect of Hydrogen Content and Welding Conditions on the Hydrogen Induced Cracking of the API X70 Steel Weld

In this study, first,diffusible hydrogen of cellulosic electrode E8010-P1 and low hydrogen electrode E8018-G was measured by mercury displacement method according to ISO3690. Then,the effect of preheating and post-heating on the sensitivity to hydrogen inducedcold cracking in welding of 18mm API5L X70 steel with these electrodes was investigated according to ISO17642-2. The results of visual in...
