Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are designed to improve traffic safety and efficiency. To this end, the traffic communication must be authenticated to guarantee trustworthiness for guiding drivers and establishing liability in case of traffic accident investigation. Cryptographic authentication techniques have been extensively exploited to secure VANETs. Applying cryptographic authentication techniques such as digital signatures raises challenges to efficiently store signatures on messages growing with time. To alleviate the conflict between traffic liability investigation and limited storage capacity in vehicles, this paper proposes to aggregate signatures in VANETs. Our proposal can preserve privacy for honest vehicles and trace misbehaving ones, and provides a practical balance between security and privacy in VANETs. With our proposal, cryptographic witnesses of safety-related traffic messages can be significantly compressed so that they can be stored for a long period for liability investigation. Our proposal allows a large number of traffic messages to be verified as if they were a single one, which speeds up the response of vehicles to traffic reports.

Certificateless cryptography eliminates the key escrow problem in identity-based cryptography. Hierarchical cryptography exploits a practical security model to mirror the organizational hierarchy in the real world. In this paper, to incorporate the advantages of both types of cryptosystems, we instantiate hierarchical certificate less cryptography by formalizing the notion of hierarchical certificate less signatures. Furthermore, we propose an HCLS scheme which, under the hardness of the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem, is proven to be existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen-message attacks in the random oracle model. As to efficiency, our scheme has constant complexity, regardless of the depth of the hierarchy. Hence, the proposal is secure and scalable for practical applications.

The objectives of Human engineering (HE) are generally viewed as increasing human performance, reducing human error, enhancing personnel and equipment safety, and reducing training and related personnel costs. There are other benefits that are thoroughly consistent with the direction of the Navy of the future, chief among these is reduction of required numbers of personnel to operate and maintain Navy ships. The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) report on Man-Machine Technology in the Navy estimated that one of the benefits from increased application of man-machine technology to Navy ship design is personnel reduction as well as improving system availability, effectiveness, and safety The objective of this paper is to discuss aspects of the human engineering design of ships and systems that affect manning requirements, and impact human-performance and safety The paper will also discuss how the application of human engineering leads to improved performance, and crew safety, and reduced workload, all of which influence manning levels. Finally, the paper presents a discussion of tools and case studies of good human engineering design practices which reduce manning.

The use of communication satellites as a possible way of offering broadband island interconnectivity appears to be a very attractive option, as it will enable the provision of an all-digital, transparent service to a number of ATM islands spanning a wide area, accommodating efficiently a variety of traffic demands. The CATALYST Project (RACE II/R2074) is an attempt to demonstrate the applicability and compatibility of satellite technology with the terrestrial BISDN. In this paper we present an overview of the project and focus on an initial study of the expected user performance through the CATALYST network. Our analysis is based upon mathematical and simulation models and describes the end-system to end-system transfer delay for given message lengths. The protocol profiles assume a mix of Novell NetWare and Network File System client/server architectures, which are supported by either the IEEE 802.3/Ethernet or fibre distributed data interface LANs, which are themselves linked via LAN/ATM/satellite interface units. Areas of further investigation, and the implication of our analysis on the actual network architecture, are discussed.
