Efficient Ring Signatures Without Random Oracles

June 2007

We describe the first efficient ring signature scheme secure, without random oracles, based on standard assumptions. Our ring signatures are based in bilinear groups. For l members of a ring our signatures consist of 2l + 2 group elements and require 2l + 3 pairings to verify. We prove our scheme secure in the strongest security model proposed by Bender, Katz, and Morselli: namely, we show our ... [Show full abstract] scheme to be anonymous against full key exposure and unforgeable with respect to insider corruption. A shortcoming of our approach is that all the users’ keys must be defined in the same group.

Pilgrimage and Holy Space in Late Antique Egypt

January 2001 · Vigiliae Christianae

This volume deals with the origins and rise of Christian pilgrimage cults in late-antique Egypt. Part One covers the major theoretical issues in the study of Coptic pilgrimage, such as sacred landscape and shrines' catchment areas, while Part Two examines native Egyptian and Egyptian Jewish pilgrimage practices. Part Three investigates six major shrines, from Philae's diverse non-Christian ... [Show full abstract] devotees to the great pilgrim centre of Abu Mina and a Thecla shrine on its route. The fourth part of the book looks at such diverse pilgrims' rites as oracles, chant and stational liturgy. Part Five brings in Athanasius's and an anonymous hagiographer's perspectives on pilgrimage in Egypt.

Beyond revenge?: Responsible Bible reading practices in a Traumatized Land

June 2017 · HTS Teologiese Studies / Theological Studies

Juliana Claassens

In this article, I argue that revenge fantasies such as those found in the Oracles Against the Nations (OAN) in Jeremiah 45–51 underscore the necessity for responsible Bible reading practices. I argue that to protect us from our own worst selves, the very human tendency to resort to revenge that inevitably leads to violence, one needs to read these biblical texts in terms of contemporary ... [Show full abstract] hermeneutical approaches that may play some role to bring an end to violence. A first such approach that serves as an important tool to help us understand these revenge fantasies as found in the OAN is the relatively new field of inquiry of trauma hermeneutics that is particularly helpful in order to mitigate the violent aspects of these revenge fantasies. Moreover, I propose that recent approaches such as feminist and postcolonial biblical interpretation are also vital for nurturing ethical, just communities that actively pursue justice.

Robustness metric-based tuning of the augmented Kalman filter for the enhancement of speech corrupte...

October 2018 · Speech Communication

In this paper, we describe a tuning method based on a robustness metric and extended to work with the augmented Kalman filter for enhancing coloured-noise-corrupted speech. The method proposed within utilises the robustness metric to provide dynamic and adaptive tuning of the Kalman filter gain in order to reduce the residual noise that results from poor speech model estimates. An analysis of the ... [Show full abstract] Kalman filter recursion equations is presented that augments the robustness metric equations to include coloured noise model parameters. Objective and blind AB subjective listening tests were performed on the NOIZEUS speech corpus for both white and coloured noises with the results being compared with the MMSE method. In the blind AB subjective testing, the 15 English-speaking listeners showed preference for the proposed method over both the MMSE and oracle Kalman filter methods (where clean speech parameters were used). These results imply that the proposed tuned Kalman filter produces more perceptibly-acceptable enhanced speech than the oracle Kalman filter, which is considered the ideal for this enhancement technique.

On the relation between statistical properties of spectrographic masks and recognition accuracy

January 2008

Missing Data Techniques (MDT) can significantly improve the accuracy of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for speech corrupted by background noise. The increase in recognition accuracy obtained using MDT is largely depen-dent on the estimation of spectrographic masks used to dis-tinguish speech from noise. We present an analysis tech-nique which enables us to compare two mask estimation ... [Show full abstract] techniques. By contrasting a sound-class independent and a sound-class dependent distance measure, we show that we can directly relate differences between masks to their difference in recognition accuracy using the sound-class dependent distance measure. Experiments on AURORA-2 using an oracle mask and an estimated mask show that modifying the estimated mask in order to reduce the statis-tical differences with the oracle mask leads to an increase in word recognition accuracy.

Linkable Democratic Group Signatures

April 2006 · Lecture Notes in Computer Science

In a variety of group-oriented applications cryptographic primitives like group signatures or ring signatures are valuable methods to achieve anonymity of group members. However, in their classical form, these schemes cannot be deployed for applications that simultaneously require (i) to avoid centralized management authority like group manager and (ii) the signer to be anonymous only against ... [Show full abstract] non-members while group members have rights to trace and identify the signer. The idea of recently introduced democratic group signatures is to provide these properties. Based on this idea we introduce a group-oriented signature scheme that allows the group members to trace the identity of any other group member who issued a signature while non-members are only able to link the signatures issued by the same signer without tracing. For this purpose the signature scheme assigns to every group member a unique pseudonym that can be used by any non-member verifier to communicate with the anonymous signer from the group. We present several group-oriented application scenarios where this kind of linkability is essential. We propose a concrete linkable democratic group signature scheme for two-parties, prove its security in the random oracle model, and describe how to modularly extend it to the multi-party case.

Efficient Identity-based Ring Signcryption Scheme in the Standard Model

March 2013 · Journal of Information and Computational Science

Zemao Zhao

According to most existing identity-based ring signcryption schemes are based on random oracle model and have too many pairings, a new efficient identity-based ring signcryption scheme is proposed. It can satisfy the unconditional anonymity of the sender by using symmetric encryption algorithm and reduce the pairings by skillfully setting public parameters. Its indistinguishability under adaptive ... [Show full abstract] chosen ciphertext attack is proofed by the intractability of the DBDH problem and the unforgeability under adaptive chosen message attack is proved by the intractability of the CDH problem.

Gene Green

Christianity began as a religious movement alive with prophetic activity. As a counterpoint to the Christian affirmation of prophecy, the issue of cessation of prophetic activity is addressed in the New Testament. Paul and the author of 2 Peter responded to a growing climate of skepticism of their day concerning the validity of prophetic speech and other forms of divination. A number of biblical ... [Show full abstract] texts should be read against that background, including Paul's statement about the cessation of the charismata. Despite the general approbation of the belief in divine communication, the ancient question remained whether the oracles and other forms of divination had any abiding validity.
