Many round-based chaotic image encryption algorithms employ the permutation-diffusion structure. Schemes using this structure have been found insecure when the iteration round is equal to one and the secret permutation of some existing ones can be recovered even a higher iteration round is adopted. In this paper, we present a single round permutation-diffusion chaotic cipher for gray image, in ...

Ambiguous Optimistic Fair Exchange (AOFE), introduced by Huang et al. in ASIACRYPT 2008, is an extension of OFE that enhances the fairness of the two communicating parties in the exchange of signatures. The first scheme was proven secure without random oracles while its partial signature contains dozens of group elements. Recently, interactive AOFE was introduced and the construction is more pr...

background : to prepare safe and adequate blood supply to meet patients’ needs and ensure a sufficient number of regular blood donors, knowledge about factors encouraging people to donate blood regularly is essential. considering its importance, we aimed to identifying the effective factors of the return to blood donation in based on zero-inflated count regression models using bayesian approach...
