Symmetric key cryptography, the cryptographic infrastructure in which both communicating parties share a unique key that can be used for encryption and decryption, is well-known for its ability to provide data confidentiality with a relatively low consumption footprint. However, it suffers from limitations in terms of key distribution and management, especially for large-scale networks [7].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
