Multi-authority attribute-based access control system in mHealth with traceability by Qi LI, Hongbo ZHU, Jinbo XIONG, Ruo MO

“…Mobile healthcare (mHealth) is an emerging technology which facilitates the share of personal health records (PHR),however,it also brings the risk of the security and privacy of PHR.Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is regarded as a new cryptology to enhance fine-grained access control over encrypted data.However,existing attribute-based mHealth systems either lack of efficient traceable approach,or support only single authority.A traceable multi-authority attribute-based access control mHealth scheme was proposed,which was constructed over composite order groups and supports any monotonic access structures described by linear secret sharing scheme (LSSS).The adaptive security was proved under subgroup decisional assumptions.The traceability was proved under k-strong Diffie-Hellman (k-SDH) assumption.The performance analysis indicates that the proposed scheme is efficient and available.…”

Gas injection capacity of low permeability reservoirs considering microscopic characteristics by Yongxin MA, Qiaoliang ZHANG, Jinqi ZHU, Shuai MA, Xin WANG, Runhua ZHU

“…The results showed that the gas injection capacity in low permeability reservoirs undergoes three evolutionary stages: In the initial stage of gas injection (0 to 100 PV), gas preferentially displaces crude oil in larger pores, leading to a rapid reduction in bound water saturation and a sharp increase in gas-phase permeability, which significantly improves gas flooding efficiency. In the middle stage of gas injection (100 to 1 200 PV), the gas-phase effective permeability increases linearly, and the bound water enters a stable phase due to capillary force constraints in microscopic throats. …”
