When integrated with the internet of things (IoT) to form RFID-IoT, this technology brings transformative advancements to SCM, enabling automated sensing, pervasive computing, and ubiquitous data access across the entire supply chain, from manufacturers and distributors to retailers and consumers. This integration facilitates real-time identification and monitoring of products, enhances various processes, improves logistic tracking, and ensures better product quality management. Despite its promising benefits, the adoption of RFID-IoT in SCM faces several challenges, including technical complexities, data security concerns, and high implementation costs. However, the future potential of RFID-IoT technology remains substantial. It is anticipated that further integration with other emerging technologies, such as block chain and artificial intelligence, will lead to more comprehensive and robust SCM solutions, offering unprecedented levels of transparency, efficiency, and automation in supply chain operations.展开更多

Electronic money payment is an important application hotspot. Ring signature is widely used in strong anonymous authentication such as electronic cash and electronic voting because of its unconditional anonymity, spontaneity and flexible group structure. Among them, the correlation ring signature can prove whether two signatures are issued by the same person without revealing the identity of the real signer. Therefore, the signature right breach can be avoided based on the premise of guaranteeing anonymity, such as repeated voting, electronic money repetition cost and so on. Most of the existing correlation ring signature security is based on the discrete logarithm problem, and most of the schemes result in the degradation of anonymity because of strong association. These methods do not apply to the block chain electronic currency transaction scene with strong anonymity. Therefore, this paper first proposes a blockchain-based electronic currency transaction security model. The model ensures not only the anonymity of both parties but also a certain degree of traceability. In order to support these two characteristics, this paper proposes an association ring signature method based on large integer decomposition problem. This method has strong anonymity and can be applied to blockchain scenes. On the other hand, it can be converted into group signatures in specific scenarios. It is therefore traceable. Finally, the adaptive selection message of the scheme and the unforgeability under the selection of public key attack are proved under the random oracle model.展开更多
The chain dynamics of a pair of diblock poly(styrene-b-butadiene) (PS210-b-PB960) and triblock poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (PS200-b-PB1815-b-PS200) copolymers in both dilute and semidilute toluene solutions ha...The chain dynamics of a pair of diblock poly(styrene-b-butadiene) (PS210-b-PB960) and triblock poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (PS200-b-PB1815-b-PS200) copolymers in both dilute and semidilute toluene solutions has been comparatively studied by dynamic laser light scattering. As expected, the mutual diffusion of individual chain changes into a fast cooperative diffusion of the chain segments ('blobs') between two neighboring entanglement points for both the copolymers as the solution changes from dilute to semidilute. Further increases of the concentration lead to a second slow relaxation mode. For the triblock chains, there exists an additional middle relaxation between the fast and the slow modes. The concentration (c) dependent study of the average characteristic decay time of the fast mode ((tau(f))) reveals that 1/(tau(f)) - c(-a) with 0.33 < alpha < 0.44, much smaller than 0.75 predicted or 0.72 observed for linear homopolymer chains in good solvent. It implies that the solvent quality of toluene for PB might not be as good as that for PS. Due to such a difference in solubility, it is reasonable to speculate that the PB and PS blocks are transiently segregated in semidilute solution. The relaxation of these transient PB and PS richer domains leads to the observed slow relaxation. Such a speculation is supported by the appearance of an additional slow relaxation mode in the study of polyisoprene-b-polystyrene-b-polyisoprene in semidilute solution in cyclohexane, a non-selective solvent, in which we alternated the solubility difference by a variation of the solution temperature.展开更多
