Grid computing is a continuously growing research field that concerns the implementation of a large scale resource sharing among different kind of institutions over the Internet. The sharing of resources among untrusted entities poses non trivial security problems. This paper proposes an approach to improve the security of computational services in the grid environment. For each grid service, t...

Wireless sensor networks are currently the greatest innovation in the field of telecommunications. WSNs have a wide range of potential applications, including security and surveillance, control, actuation and maintenance of complex systems and fine-grain monitoring of indoor and outdoor environments. However security is one of the major aspects of Wireless sensor networks due to the resource li...

Time-Memory-Data tradeoff attacks (TMD-attacks) like those of Babbage [1], Biryukov and Shamir [2] and Dunkelman, Keller [5] reduce the security level of keystream generator based-stream ciphers to L/2, where L denotes the inner state length. This is one of the reasons why stream ciphers like Trivium [3] and Grain [8] use a session key length n of at most L/2. In this paper, we deal with the qu...

Although it is difficult, many countries are attempting to balance economic development and cultivated land preservation for various reasons. China’s experience is a good illustration of such challenges during rapid economic development and urbanization. The central government of China emphasized the high self-sufficiency ratio of grain and therefore set a bottom-line for the area of cultivated...

The grain output of China increased continuously for 11 years from 2004 to 2014, effectively ensuring security of the country’s food supply. At the same time, rapid advancement of urbanization and industrialization generated marked changes in the food consumption patterns of residents, and supply-demand structural problems, such as the variety, quality and region of grains, became increasingly ...
