A technique to search log records using system of linear equations

Abstract: Growth of network technology and easy internet access are the key features for development and use of Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) technique. In DaaS technique it is necessary to ensure safe and correct operation of any industry. In many cases, the types of data records used to conduct security audits are considered sensitive, as they could reveal information about internal network structures, the types of software running, private customer or employee information. In this paper we suggest a technique based on system of linear equations, which enables a trusted party to give the service provider's server the ability to test whether a given keyword appears in log records but the server learns nothing about the keyword and the log content. We compare our scheme with existing encryption schemes and prove that our scheme is efficient and secure.

Conducting polyaniline/nano-zinc phosphate composite as a pigment for corrosion protection of low-carbon steel

Abstract: Zinc phosphate (Zn3(PO4)2) nanocrystals were synthesized and used for making conducting polyaniline/nano-zinc phosphate composite by chemical oxidative method. The product was characterized by UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. The crystal structure, morphology and thermal stability of the product were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis, respectively. The epoxy-based paint containing conducting polyaniline/nano-zinc phosphate composite pigment was applied on low-carbon steel samples. Corrosion protection performance of the painted low-carbon steel samples in 3.5 mass % sodium chloride solution was evaluated using electrochemical technique. Transmission electron microscopic image revealed the formation of core shell structure of the composite. Composite was found to be more thermally stable than the conducting polyaniline. The corrosion rate of conducting polyaniline/nano-zinc phosphate-painted low-carbon steel was found to be 5.1 × 10−4 mm per year, about 34 times lower than that of unpainted low-carbon steel and 10 times lower than that of epoxy nano-zinc phosphate paint-coated steel. The study reveals the possibility of using conducting polyaniline/nano-zinc phosphate as a pigment for corrosion protection.

Simultaneous state and disturbance estimation for seeker system using sliding modes

Abstract: In this paper simultaneous estimation of states and disturbance for seeker system of a missile using sliding mode observer (SMO) has been proposed. The modeling of the plant is done by classical method and the complete seeker system has been simulated for generation of spiral scan loop with control input provided by a simple state feedback controller. An extended state observer using sliding modes is designed to estimate the system states and the total lumped disturbances acting on the system. The estimated disturbance takes into account the disturbance due to cross coupling in the gimbal system and externally added sinusoidal disturbance in input channel. Simulations verify that the output estimation error is made zero in finite time due to sliding modes and the estimated disturbance is in close agreement with actual disturbance.
