1998년 A. Young등은 공개키 기반구조(PKI)를 이용한 키 복구 시스템인 ARC를 제안하였다. 그리고 1999년 P.Paillier 등은 ARC를 개선하여 사용자의 증명서 저장공간이 필요 없는 SE-PKI 키 복구 시스템을 제안하였다. 또한 2001년 유희종 등은 Paillier가 제안한 SE-PKI 키 복구 시스템에 비밀분산 개념을 추가하여 다수의 키 위탁 기관이 참여하는 키 복구 시스템을 제안했다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 scheme을 추가하여 사용자의 비밀키를 사용자만이 인증기관의 도움을 받아 키 위탁 기관으로부터 온 라인 상에서 안전하게 복구할 수 있는 키 복구 시스템을 제안한다. 이 키 복구 시스템에서는 사용자가 비밀키를 자주 변경하는 경우 이전 암호문을 복호화하기 위해 필요한 비밀키 관리가 용이하다.

최근, 네트워크의 사용 증가에 따른 보안의 필요성이 대두되어 암호 사용이 급속히 확산되고 있다. 그러나, 암호는 본래 가지고 있는 키 관리의 어려움 때문에 여러 가지 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 암호의 사용이 야기하는 역기능을 해소하고 순기능을 지향하기 위해 키 복구에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 지금까지 많은 키 복구 기술들이 제시되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 IPSec(IP security)[2]로 구현된 Host-to-Gateway VPN(Virtual Private Network)[1] 환경 하에서 SG(Secrity Gateway)와 호스트 사이에 연결이 중단되었을 경우 이에 따른 연결 복구에서의 시간적 소모를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 키 복구 기술을 이용한 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안한 KRFSH(Key Recovery Field Storage Header)를 기반으로 한 메커니즘은 VPN에서 SG와 호스트 사이의 터널 형성을 위한 세션 정보를 분실할 경우에 대해 세션 정보를 미리 저장해두고, 필요시 이전 연결 상태를 복구 할 수 있다. 제안한 키 복구 메커니즘은 기존 SG를 확장하여, IPSec 기반의 Host-to-Gateway VPN에서 세션 복구에 따른 시간적 지연을 해결한다.

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Information-Centric Networking (ICN) are essential network architectures for the future Internet. The advantages of MEC and ICN such as computation and storage capabilities at the edge of the network, in-network caching and named-data communication paradigm can greatly improve the quality of video streaming applications. However, the packet loss in wireless network environments still affects the video streaming performance and the existing loss recovery approaches in ICN does not exploit the capabilities of MEC. This paper proposes a Deep Learning based Loss Recovery Mechanism (DL-LRM) for video streaming over MEC based ICN. Different with existing approaches, the Forward Error Correction (FEC) packets are generated at the edge of the network, which dramatically reduces the workload of core network and backhaul. By monitoring network states, our proposed DL-LRM controls the FEC request rate by deep reinforcement learning algorithm. Considering the characteristics of video streaming and MEC, in this paper we develop content caching detection and fast retransmission algorithm to effectively utilize resources of MEC. Experimental results demonstrate that the DL-LRM is able to adaptively adjust and control the FEC request rate and achieve better video quality than the existing approaches.

Survivability is a necessary property of network system in disturbed environment. Recovery ability is a key actor of survivability. This paper concludes network survivability into a novel composite metric, i.e. Network Recovery Degree (NRD). In order to measure this metric in quantity, a concept of Source-Destination Pair (SD Pair), is created to abstract end-to-end activity based on end nodes in network, and the quality of SD Pair is also used to describe network performance, such as connectivity, quality of service, link degree, and so on. After that, a Survivability Test method in large scale Network based on SD pairs, called STNSD, is provided. How to select SD Pairs effectively in large scale network is also provided. We set up simulation environment to validate the test method in a severe destroy scenario and evaluate the method scalability in different large scale network scenarios. Experiment and analysis shows that the metric NRD correctly reflects the effort of different survivability strategy, and the proposed test method STNSD has good scalability and can be used to test and evaluate quantitative survivability in large scale network.

In order to analyze the healing effectiveness of rock salt cracks affected by the applied stresses and time, we used the ultrasonic technology to monitor the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) variations for different initial stress-damaged rock salts during self-healing experiments. The self-healing experiments were to create different conditions to improve the microcracks closure or recrystallized, which the self-healing effect of damaged salt specimens were analyzed during the recovery period about 30 days. We found that: The ultrasonic pulse velocity of the damaged rock salts increases rapidly during the first 9 days recovery, and the values gradually increase to reach constant values after 30 days. The damaged value and the healed value were identified based on the variation of the wave velocity. The damaged values of the specimens that are subject to higher initial damage stress are still keeping in large after 30 days recovery under the same recovery condition It is interesting that the damage and the healing were not in the linear relationship, and there also existed a damage threshold for salt cracks healing ability. When the damage degree is less than the threshold, the self-healing ratio of rock salt is increased with the increase in damage degree. However, while the damage degree exceeds the threshold, the self-healing ratio is decreased with the increase in damage.

Objective: To analyze the correlations between intraoperative ultrasound and MRI metrics of the spinal cord in degenerative cervical myelopathy and identify novel potential predictive ultrasonic indicators of neurological recovery for degenerative cervical myelopathy. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two patients who underwent French-door laminoplasty for multilevel degenerative cervical myelopathy were followed up for 12 months. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores were assessed preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. Maximum spinal cord compression and compression rates were measured and calculated using both intraoperative ultrasound imaging and preoperative T2-weight (T2W) MRI. Signal change rates of the spinal cord on preoperative T2W MRI and gray value ratios of dorsal and ventral spinal cord hyperechogenicity on intraoperative ultrasound imaging were measured and calculated. Correlations between intraoperative ultrasound metrics, MRI metrics, and the recovery rate JOA scores were analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The postoperative JOA scores improved significantly, with a mean recovery rate of 65.0 ± 20.3% (p < 0.001). No significant correlations were found between the operative ultrasound metrics and MRI metrics. The gray value ratios of the spinal cord hyperechogenicity was negatively correlated with the recovery rate of JOA scores (ρ = -0.638, p = 0.001), while the ventral and dorsal gray value ratios of spinal cord hyperechogenicity were negatively correlated with the recovery rate of JOA-motor scores (ρ = -0.582, p = 0.004) and JOA-sensory scores (ρ = -0.452, p = 0.035), respectively. The dorsal gray value ratio was significantly higher than the ventral gray value ratio (p < 0.001), while the recovery rate of JOA-motor scores was better than that of JOA-sensory scores at 12 months post-surgery (p = 0.028). Conclusion: For degenerative cervical myelopathy, the correlations between intraoperative ultrasound and preoperative T2W MRI metrics were not significant. Gray value ratios of the spinal cord hyperechogenicity and dorsal and ventral spinal cord hyperechogenicity were significantly correlated with neurological recovery at 12 months postoperatively.

Overlay routing has emerged as a promising approach to improve reliability and efficiency of the Internet. The key to overlay routing is the placement and maintenance of the overlay infrastructure, especially, the selection and placement of key relay nodes. Spurred by the observation that a few relay nodes with high betweenness centrality can provide more optimal routes for a large number of node pairs, we propose a resilient routing overlay network construction method by introducing Super-Relay nodes. In detail, we present the K-Minimum Spanning Tree with Super-Relay nodes algorithm (SR-KMST), in which we focus on the selection and connection of Super-Relay nodes to optimize the routing quality in a resilient and scalable manner. For the simultaneous path failures between the default physical path and the overlay backup path, we also address the selection of recovery path. The objective is to select a proper one-hop recovery path with minimum cost in path probing and measurement. Simulations based on a real ISP network and a synthetic Internet topology show that our approach can provide high-quality overlay routing service, while achieving good robustness.

암호의 사용은 사용자에게 많은 이점을 주지만, 키와 분실이나 범죄 집단의 암호의 악용과 오용 등의 가능성이 있다. 이러한 것을 해결하기 위해 나온 방식이 키 복구(Key recovery)방식이다. 본 논문에서는 비밀 분산 방식을 이용한 새로운 키 복구 방식을 제안한다. 또한 키 복구 시스템에서는 유사시에 키를 얻을 수 있는 확실한 보장이 있어야 하는데, 본 제안 방식에서는 사용자의 부정조작을 검사할 수 있게 함으로써 키 획득에 대한 보장을 할 수 있도록 하였다.

인터넷의 사용 증가와 더불어 보안의 중요성이 증가되면서, 인터넷을 통한 전자상거래에서의 안전성 및 신뢰성 확보를 위한 기술의 필요성이 커지게 되었다. 두 사용자간의 안전한 문서의 전송과 상호 인증을 보장은 국가 기관이나 산업계, 또는 개인이 인터넷을 이용한 안전한 통신을 가능하게 한다. 정보보호 기술의 중요 요소로 부각되고 있는 공개키 기반 구조(PKI: Public Key Infrastructure)는 인증(authentication), 기밀성(confidentiality), 무결성((integrity), 부인봉쇄(non-repudiation)등의 보안의 기본요소를 제공하고 있다. 공개키 기반 구조에서의 공개키/개인키쌍은 상대방에 대한 신뢰와 자신의 정보 보호를 위한 사용되는 도구이며, 이 키를 잃어 버릴 경우 암호 및 인증 서비스를 제공받을 수 없게 된다. 이를 위한 대비책으로 키 복구 기술(key recovery agent)이 필요하게 되었다. 우리는 본 연구를 통해서 키 복구 기술을 적용한 키 복구 시스템을 개발하였으며, 이를 통해서 키 복구 시스템의 프로토콜을 제안하고 검증하였다.

Osteoporosis develops with high prevalence in both postmenopausal women and hypogonadal men. Osteoporosis results in significant morbidity, but no cure has been established. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) critically contribute to bone homeostasis and possess potent immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory capability. Here, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of using an infusion of MSCs to treat sex hormone-deficient bone loss and its underlying mechanisms. In particular, we compared the impacts of MSC cytotherapy in the two genders with the aim of examining potential gender differences. Using the gonadectomy (GNX) model, we confirmed that the osteoporotic phenotypes were substantially consistent between female and male mice. Importantly, systemic MSC transplantation (MSCT) not only rescued trabecular bone loss in GNX mice but also restored cortical bone mass and bone quality. Unexpectedly, no differences were detected between the genders. Furthermore, MSCT demonstrated an equal efficiency in rectifying the bone remodeling balance in both genders of GNX animals, as proven by the comparable recovery of bone formation and parallel normalization of bone resorption. Mechanistically, using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-based cell-tracing, we demonstrated rapid engraftment but poor inhabitation of donor MSCs in the GNX recipient bone marrow of each gender. Alternatively, MSCT uniformly reduced the $CD3^+T$-cell population and suppressed the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in reversing female and male GNX osteoporosis, which was attributed to the ability of the MSC to induce T-cell apoptosis. Immunosuppression in the microenvironment eventually led to functional recovery of endogenous MSCs, which resulted in restored osteogenesis and normalized behavior to modulate osteoclastogenesis. Collectively, these data revealed recipient sexually monomorphic responses to MSC therapy in gonadal steroid deficiency-induced osteoporosis via immunosuppression/anti-inflammation and resident stem cell recovery.
