The usage of smart-phone is growing and being used for various personal and business activities. Therefore it can be used as authenticator in physical access control system. But due to its openness, organizations are very much concerned about the security, reliability and privacy of the user's credentials. In this paper, we have described a security protocol for smart-phones which are used for identity verification, authentication and authorization in physical access control system (PACS). The designed authentication protocol is an extension of two-factor authentication FIPS-196 protocol and provides symmetric key based single-sign-on mechanism to achieve efficiency. For authorization, we have used XACML standard for creating and evaluating policies and included pass-code feature in the protocol to ensure the presence of the mobile owner. Furthermore, the implementation of our designed protocol transparently handles the security credentials and is easy to use by the ordinary people. We have verified our protocol by using automated security protocol verification tool, Scyther and have verified that our protocol provides protection against man-in-the-middle attack, replay attack and secrecy of the user's credentials.","PeriodicalId":334187,"journal":{"name":"High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128227039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We presented two architecture schemes for m-trail deployment: (1) by setting up the m-trails in addition/on the top of the operating lightpaths, this is the case which a clear separation between monitoring and operation functions is required, (2) by using a certain number of the existing light paths that are already deployed in the network at the normal operating condition as optical monitoring paths.

ZnO offers many advantages for the III-Nitrides due to its closely matched lattice constant and similar thermal expansion coefficients. Si is a readily available material and can be chemically removed to provide a thin III-Nitride device structure. However, when using ZnO, H2 etching of the ZnO substrate at high temperatures and Zn diffusion out of the ZnO substrate have limited its use. Moreover, a tensile stress can occur between III-Nitrides and Si, and a potential reaction between Ga and Si can cause many issues during MOCVD growth. In this work we have used a transition layer on these substrates to promote the crystallinity of the III-Nitride materials and resulting device structures. We show that thin layers (5-200 nm) of Atomic Layer Deposited (ALD) AI2O3 can be used for this function. Wurtzite III-Nitrides were obtained for thin AI2O3/ZnO and AI2O3/Si with a mirror-like surface, no etch pits, and no peeling. In addition, light emitting diodes on ALD AI2O3/Si have shown a similar device performance to those grown on sapphire. This transition layer technology could provide a universal substrate technology for III-Nitride LEDs crystal growth.","PeriodicalId":334187,"journal":{"name":"High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132992647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Protocols that address multi-hop broadcast must perform well across a broad spectrum of network conditions while being resilient to the rapidly changing network topology of moving vehicles. We propose the Rate-Adaptive Broadcast (RAB) protocol to address this problem. RAB is tailored specifically for information dissemination in VANETs. It is based on the simple distance-method scheme, requires no knowledge of network topology, and yet is adaptive to network conditions. By assuming a VA NET dissemination application with fixed periodic updates, RAB is able to use a novel decision threshold control algorithm based on the rate of incoming messages. It tracks both the rate of received new messages and duplicate messages. If the new message rate dips below its long-run average, the decision threshold is adjusted to improve message propagation. While the new message rate is stable, RAB adjusts the decision threshold to keep the duplicate message rate in an efficient range. Thus RAB jointly optimizes the broadcast message delivery rate and the bandwidth consumption. RAB is evaluated in a realistic vehicular networking simulation using JiST/SWANS and unlike similar protocols that require no overhead messaging, is shown to achieve a high reachability level across a wide range of networking scenarios while maintaining efficient bandwidth consumption.","PeriodicalId":334187,"journal":{"name":"High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132297036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
