This paper presents a novel approach for assigning group keys within a dynamic swarm unmanned system environment. In this environment, multiple groups of unmanned systems have the flexibility to merge into a single group or a single unmanned system group can be subdivided into multiple groups. The proposed protocol encompasses two key steps: group key generation and sharing. The responsibility of generating the group key rests solely with the leader node of the group. The group's leader node employs a secret sharing scheme to fragment the group key into multiple fragments, which are subsequently transmitted. Nodes that receive these fragments reconstruct a fresh group key by combining their self-generated secret fragment with the fragment obtained from the leader node. Subsequently, they validate the integrity of the derived group key by employing the hash function. The efficacy of the proposed technique is ascertained through an exhaustive assessment of its security and communication efficiency. This analysis affirms its potential for robust application in forthcoming swarm unmanned system operations scenarios characterized by frequent network group modifications.

A leader is a special process who roles as the coordinator within multiple processes of a group. In a distributed system, leader election is the procedure of electing a coordinator. This is a very important issue for building fault-tolerant distributed systems. When two normal mobile ad hoc networks are merged, there are two leaders. This violates the safety property, so a mechanism to detect and handle are required. In mobile ad hoc distributed computing system, we propose a leader competition protocol and to prove the temporal logic to it. This solution is based on the group membership detection algorithm.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to define the anti-ESG activities of companies recognized by media by reflecting ESG recently attracted attention. This study extracts keywords for ESG controversies through association rule mining. Design/methodology/approach A research framework is designed to extract keywords for ESG controversies as follows: 1) From DeepSearch DB, we collect 23,837 articles on anti-ESG activities exposed to 130 media from 2013 to 2018 of 294 listed companies with ESG ratings 2) We set keywords related to environment, social, and governance, and delete or merge them with other keywords based on the support, confidence, and lift derived from association rule mining. 3) We illustrate the importance of keywords and the relevance between keywords through density, degree centrality, and closeness centrality on network analysis. Findings We identify a total of 26 keywords for ESG controversies. 'Gapjil' records the highest frequency, followed by 'corruption', 'bribery', and 'collusion'. Out of the 26 keywords, 16 are related to governance, 8 to social, and 2 to environment. The keywords ranked high are mostly related to the responsibility of shareholders within corporate governance. ESG controversies associated with social issues are often related to unfair trade. As a result of confidence analysis, the keywords related to social and governance are clustered and the probability of mutual occurrence between keywords is high within each group. In particular, in the case of "owner's arrest", it is caused by "bribery" and "misappropriation" with an 80% confidence level. The result of network analysis shows that 'corruption' is located in the center, which is the most likely to occur alone, and is highly related to 'breach of duty', 'embezzlement', and 'bribery'.
