Registration validation remains a challenging problem in practice mainly due to lack of 'ground truth'. In this paper, an overview of current validation methods for medical image registration is presented with detailed discussion of their benefits and drawbacks. Special focus is on non-rigid registration validation. Promising solution is also discussed.展开更多

PVSS plays an important role in many applications such as electronic voting, payment systems with revocable anonymity, and key escrow. Up to now, all PVSS schemes are based on the traditional public-key systems. Recently, the pairing-based cryptography has received much attention from cryp- tographic researchers. Many pairing-based schemes and protocols have been proposed. However, no PVSS scheme using bilinear pairings is proposed. This paper presents the first pairing-based PVSS scheme. In the random oracle model and under the bilinear Diffie-HeUman assumption, the authors prove that the proposed scheme is a secure PVSS scheme.展开更多

In this paper, we present a scalable authenticated scheme for group key distribution based on a combinatorial exclusion basis system （EBS） for efficiency and one-way hash chains for authentication. The proposed scheme guarantees a lightweight authenticated group key updating procedure and is efficient in terms of storage, communication and computation overheads.展开更多
