The WiFi fingerprint-based localization method is considered one of the most popular techniques for indoor localization. In INFOCOM'14, Li et al. proposed a wireless fidelity(WiFi) fingerprint localization system based on Paillier encryption, which is claimed to protect both client C 's location privacy and service provider S's database privacy. However, Yang et al. presented a practical data privacy attack in INFOCOM'18, which allows a polynomial time attacker to obtain S's database. We propose a novel WiFi fingerprint localization system based on CastagnosLaguillaumie(CL) encryption, which has a trustless setup and is efficient due to the excellent properties of CL encryption. To prevent Yang et al.'s attack, the system requires that S selects only the locations from its database that can receive the nonzero signals from all the available access points in C 's nonzero fingerprint in order to determine C's location. Security analysis shows that our scheme is secure under Li et al.'s threat model. Furthermore, to enhance the security level of privacy-preserving WiFi fingerprint localization scheme based on CL encryption, we propose a secure and efficient zero-knowledge proof protocol for the discrete logarithm relations in C's encrypted localization queries.

In extreme ultraviolet(EUV) lithography, mitigation of tin(Sn) debris contamination during EUV light generation is an important issue. In practice, the high-speed jet flows are used to transport debris away from the collector mirror, thereby protecting it and improving system performance. Since EUV light is generated in a near-vacuum environment, understanding jet flow behavior in these extreme conditions is crucial for effective contamination control. In this study, we introduce a new facility designed to investigate jet extruded into near-vacuum environments using particle image velocimetry(PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry(PTV). Our results reveal a significantly extended potential core and a “top-hat” velocity profile with an inlet flow rate of 0.28standard liter per minute(SLPM) and ambient pressure of 13.9 Pa. We also investigate the effects of inlet flow rate, ambient pressure, and jet diameter on the centerline streamwise velocity of the jet flow. These findings aim to guide the design of equipment operating in vacuum conditions.
