BFV-Blockchainvoting: blockchain-based electronic voting systems with BFV full homomorphic encryption by Yatao YANG, Deli LIU, Peihe LIU, Ping ZENG, Song XIAO

“…Current electronic voting systems mostly relied on central server and the trusted third party, this kind system architecture increases the security risks of voting, and even makes voting fail.In order to solve this issue, an electronic voting system BFV-blockchainvoting that supported BFV homomorphic encryption was proposed, and this system applied the blockchain technology to the electronic voting system to replace the trusted third party.Firstly, an open and transparent bulletin board was used to record the vote information, and an intelligent contract was used to realize the functions of verification and self counting.Secondly, in order to further improve the security and reliability of the voting process, the voter’s registration information was signed by SM2 signature algorithm, the ballot was managed by both parties that can supervise each other, and the counting data was encrypted by the BFV full homomorphic encryption algorithm.Finally, the evaluation of performance shows that it only costs 1.69 ms to complete one ballot in the proposed electronic voting system.This electronic voting scheme based on the BFV full homomorphic encryption and blockchain has better security attributes such as manipulation-resistance, anonymity, verifiability, double-voting resistance, coercion-resistance and resistance to quantum attacks.The scheme is suitable for a variety of voting scenarios and can meet the efficiency requirements in large voting scenarios.…”

Rethinking survey development in health research with AI-driven methodologies by Hakan Kuru

“…Drawing on natural language processing, automated text analysis, real-time data monitoring, and predictive modeling, the framework outlines how AI tools can help researchers proactively uncover linguistic nuances, identify hidden patterns, and refine instruments with greater speed and rigor, ultimately enhancing validity, inclusivity, and interpretive richness. Rather than replacing existing practices, these tools are positioned as a complementary support that, when used responsibly and contextually, can enhance methodological rigor, improve efficiency, and reduce respondent burden. …”

New method for file deduplication in cloud storage by Chao YANG, Qian JI, Si-chun XIONG, Mao-zhen LIU, Jian-feng MA, Qi JIANG, Lin BAI

“…Deduplication is widely used in cloud storage service to save bandwidth and storage resources,however,the security of client deduplication still flaws in an external attack to access a user’s private data.Xu-CDE,a deduplication solution of encrypting data for multi-client was first proposed,which could protect the privacy of data from the external attackers and honest but curious server,with favorable theoretical meaning and representativeness.However,in Xu-CDE,the user ownership authentication credentials were lack of instantaneity protection,which could not resist replay attack.As an improvement to the flaw,the protocol MRN-CDE (MLE based and random number modified client-side deduplication of encrypted data in cloud storage) was proposed,adding random number in order to ensure the instantaneity of the authentication credentials,and using the algorithm of MLE-K_Pto extract key from original file to replace the file itself as an encryption key.As a consequence,the new protocol improved security while significantly reduced the amount of computation.After the safety analysis and the actual tests,results show that based on Xu-CDE,the proposed protocol MRN-CDE has stronger security of ownership,and improves time efficiency.Specially,the new protocol works better on large files in cloud with a certain value.…”
