The authenticated key agreement protocol is an important security protocol for the session initiation protocol, which allows the and the server to authenticate each other and generate a shared session key for privacy, integrity, and non-repudiation in their communications. Recently, Zhang et al. proposed a new authenticated key agreement protocol for the session initiation protocol using smart ...

Receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) form a diverse family of transmembrane enzymes that play roles in cell adhesion and cell signaling (Brady-Kalnay and Tonks, 1995; den Hertog et al., 1999). The LAR (Leukocyte Common Antigen Related) protein is the founding member of a subfamily of RPTPs known as type IIa RPTPs, defined by extracellular domains composed of immunoglobulin-like a...

“Untraceability” is an important property of Proxy blind signature. Zhang proposed some new untraceable blind signatures in order to enhance the security of Cai et al. (2007) and Hu et al. (2007)’s schemes. However, this study shows there are three important conclusions: 1. By reduction, we prove that the cryptanalysis method proposed by Zhang is improper and Cai et al. (2007)’s schemes does sa...

We consider the consequences of keeping the total surface fixed for a polydisperse system of N hard spheres. In contrast with a similar model (J. Zhang et al., J. Chem. Phys. 110, 5318 (1999)), the Percus-Yevick and Mansoori equations of state work very well and do not show a breakdown . For high pressures Monte Carlo simulation we show three mechanically stable polydisperse crystals with eithe...

Fengjiao Wang and Yuqing Zhang (National Computer Network Intrusion Protection Center, GSCAS, Beijing, China) Abstract—Recently, Byun et al. proposed an efficient client-to-client password-authenticated key agreement protocol (EC2C-PAKA), which was provably secure in a formally defined security model. This letter shows that EC2C-PAKA protocol is vulnerable to password compromise impersonate att...

In recent years Rayleigh waves have been used increasingly as a nondestructive tool to obtain near-surface S-wave velocity, one of the key parameters in environmental and engineering applications (Miller et al., 1999a, 1999b; Park et al., 1998, 1999; Xia et al., 1999, 2003; Foti et al., 2002; Beaty and Schmitt, 2003; Tian et al., 2003; Zhang and Chan, 2003; Lin and Chang, 2004; O’Neill et al., ...

Authors Reply. Accepted. We reworded the sentence into the following: PMF is becoming common for organic source apportionment (Zhang et al., 2005; Lanz et al., 2007) and factor analysis of AMS data using PMF in its diverse implementations (including e.g. ME-2) has extracted biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) factors in multiple sites (Aiken et al., 2010; Elsasser et al., 2012; Crippa et al....

Wang et al. introduced Lp radial Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms based on Schuster?s homomorphisms. In 2018, Feng and He gave the concept of (p,q)-mixed geominimal surface area according to Lutwak, Yang Zhang?s volume. this article, associated with areas homomorphisms, we establish some inequalities including two Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities, a cyclic inequality monotonic inequalities.
