Many watermarking methods for protecting the intellectual property right and authentication multimedia data have been proposed in recent years. In image authentication watermarking, watermark is inserted into an image to detect any malicious alteration. So, watermark for authentication and integrity should be erased easily when the image is changed by scaling or cropping etc. We propose in this paper a fragile watermarking algorithm for image integrity verification and tamper localization proofing using special hierarchical structure. In the proposed method, the image to be watermarked is divided into blocks in a multi-level hierarchy and calculating block digital signatures in thus hierarchy. At each level of the hierarchy, a digital signature for each block is calculated using the seven most significant bit(MSBs)-plane values of all pixels within the block. And the resulting signature is incorporated into the LSBs of selected pixels within the block. We provide experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Hierarchical ID-based Cryptography proposed by C. Gentry and A. Silverberg has the problem that the length of the ciphertext is proportional to the depth of the recipient in the hierarchy. In this paper, we propose the new methods to shorten the length of the ciphertext by using HlDS(Hierarchical ID-based Signature).

Proxy signatures is a signature scheme that an original signer delegates one's signature capability to a proxy signer, and then the proxy signer creates a signature on behalf of the original signer. Delegation of authority is a common practice in the real world, in particular, it happens naturally in hierarchical groups such as company, bank and army, etc. In this paper, we propose a new dynamic multi-proxy signature scheme allowing repetitive delegations in a hierarchical group. We adopt multi-proxy signatures to enhance the security of proxy signature. In multi-proxy signatures, plural proxy signers can generate a valid proxy signature collectively on behalf of one original signer. In our scheme, the proxy group is not fixed but constructed dynamically according to some situations. Delegations are processed from higher level to lower level in the hierarchy using delegation tickets. When the original signer wants to delegate one's signature authority, the original signer generates a delegation ticket based on secret sharing and Diffie-Hellman problems. The delegation ticket is shared among proxy signers and then all the proxy signers can generate a valid proxy signature collectively by reconstructing the original signer's delegation ticket. If a certain proxy signer can not attend the proxy signature generating protocol, the proxy signer can also delegate repetitively his partial signature authority to the lower level participants, and then the proxies are constructed dynamically.

Currently, HTTP traffic has been developed rapidly due to appearance of various applications and services based web. Accordingly, HTTP Traffic classification is necessary to effective network management. Among the various signature-based method, Payload signature-based classification method is effective to analyze various aspects of HTTP traffic. However, the payload signature-based method has a significant drawback in high-speed network environment due to the slow processing speed than other classification methods such as header, statistic signature-based. Therefore, we proposed various classification method of HTTP Traffic based HTTP signatures of hierarchical structure and to improve pattern matching speed reflect the hierarchical structure features. The proposed method achieved more performance than aho-corasick to applying real campus network traffic.

Currently, there are many applications being developed based on sensor network technology. A tracking method for moving objects in sensor network is one of the main issue of this field. There is a little research on this issue, but most of the existing work has two problems. The first problem is a communication overhead for visiting sensor nodes many times to track a moving object. The second problem is an disability for dealing with many moving objects at a time. To resolve the problems, we, in this paper, propose a signature-based tracking method using efficient data aggregation for moving objects, called SigMO-TRK. For this, we first design a local routing hierarchy tree to aggregate moving objects' trajectories efficiently by using a space filtering technique. Secondly, we do the tracking of all trajectories of moving objects by using signature in a efficient way, our approach generates signatures to method. In addition, by extending the SigMO-TRK, we can retrieve the similar trajectories of moving objects for given a query. Finally, by using the TOSSIM simulator, we show that our signature-based tracking method outperforms the existing tracking method in terms of energy efficiency.

Multiple attribute for decision making including user preference will increase the complexity of route selection process. Various approaches have been proposed to solve the optimal route selection problem. In this paper, multi attribute decision making (MADM) algorithms such as Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Weighted Product Method (WPM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and Total Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods have been proposed for acoustic signature based optimal route selection to facilitate user with better quality of service. The traffic density state conditions (very low, low, below medium, medium, above medium, high and very high) on the road segment is the occurrence and mixture weightings of traffic noise signals (Tyre, Engine, Air Turbulence, Exhaust, and Honks etc) is considered as one of the attribute in decision making process. The short-term spectral envelope features of the cumulative acoustic signals are extracted using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Classifier (ANFC) is used to model seven traffic density states. Simple point method and AHP has been used for calculation of weights of decision parameters. Numerical results show that WPM, AHP and TOPSIS provide similar performance.

Biometric performance improvement is a challenging task. In this paper, a hierarchical strategy fusion based on multimodal biometric system is presented. This strategy relies on a combination of several biometric traits using a multi-level biometric fusion hierarchy. The multi-level biometric fusion includes a pre-classification fusion with optimal feature selection and a post-classification fusion that is based on the similarity of the maximum of matching scores. The proposed solution enhances biometric recognition performances based on suitable feature selection and reduction, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), as much as not all of the feature vectors components support the performance improvement degree.

In order to support secure communication in VANET(Vehicular Ad hoc Network), messages exchanged between vehicles or between vehicle and infrastructure must be authenticated. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical anonymous authentication system for VANET. The proposed system model reduces the overhead of PKG, which is a problem of previous system, by generating private keys hierarchically, thereby enhancing practicality. We also propose a two-level hierarchical identity-based signature(TLHIBS) scheme without pairings so that improve efficiency. The proposed scheme protects the privacy of the vehicle by satisfying conditional privacy and supports batch verification so that efficiently verifies multiple signatures. Finally, The security of the proposed scheme is proved in the random oracle model by reducing the discrete logarithm problem(DLP) whereas the security proof of the previous ID-based signatures for VANET was incomplete.

In this paper, as a way of improving the availability and spectral efficiency of radio relay system, a co-channel radio relay system based upon the synchronous digital hierarchy is developed and its performance measured by 64-QAM with a never-seen multi-purpose ASIC chip is illustrated. This system provides a couple of transmission capacity compared with alternative channel arrangement. By adopting a powerful complex 13-tap adaptive time domain equalizer and cross-pol interference canceller, improvement of more than 1.5 ~ 2.0 dB in signature is obtained in comparison to 9 or 11-tap adaptive time domain equalizer, and about 22.5 dB in improvement factor of cross-pol interference canceller is achieved at C/N of 24.5 dB. In addition, digital filter makes it possible to optimize the occupied bandwidth by selecting an appropriate roll-off factor externally. It is expected that co-channel radio relay system with the powerful multi-purpose ASIC chip plays a key role in creating a value-added product, reliability, and reducing the outage time.
