Distributed Timestamp Mechanism Based on Verifiable Delay Functions

Abstract

In the data communication system, the real-time information interaction of communication device increases the risk of privacy sensitive data being tampered with. Therefore, maintaining data security is one of the most important issues in network data communication. Because the timestamp is the most important way to authenticate data in information interaction, it is very necessary to provide timestamp service in the data communication system. However, the existing centralized timestamp mechanism is difficult to provide credible timestamp service, and users can conspire with timestamping servers to forge timestamps. Therefore, this paper designs a distributed timestamp mechanism based on continuous verifiable delay functions. It utilizes multiple independent timestamp servers to provide timestamp services in a distributed model and appends the timestamp to the data once the data is generated. Thus, it can prove that the data already exists at a certain time and ensure the accuracy of the timestamp. Moreover, a digital blind signature based on elliptic curve cryptography is utilized to solve the problem of timestamp forgery in timestamp service. Finally, the security analysis of the scheme ensures the data security of data communication system and the concurrency rate of timestamp. The experimental results also show that the scheme greatly improves the efficiency of digital signatures.

Precise Rehabilitation Strategies for Functional Impairment in Children with Cerebral Palsy

“…The ICF-CY theory and method are used to describe the functional and health status of children and adolescents, and the concept can be applied to systematically and precisely access children with cerebral palsy by combining it with clinical treatment [9,10], and to guide the formulation of a treatment plan that meets with individualized and precise rehabilitation and to provide systematic and comprehensive treatment interventions for all aspects of the child [11][12][13], especially abandoning the past principles of focusing only on movement disorders and neglecting the improvement of cognitive and self-care abilities, or the same treatment plan that ignores individualized individualized differences [14][15][16].…”

Detection Algorithm of Surface Defect Word on Printed Circuit Board

“…MobileNetv3-YOLOv4-Inceptionv3 introduces Inceptionv3 as the detection network and uses MobileNetV3 as the feature extraction network. In general, the comprehensive comparative analysis of different algorithms can verify the necessity of the modifications made in this paper, and the detection performance of the improved algorithm is better than other algorithms [26].…”

Verifiable Delay Function and Its Blockchain-Related Application: A Survey

“…In 2019, Landerreche et al [ 54 ] presented the first treatment of non-interactive publicly verifiable timestamping schemes and a secure timestamping scheme based on a verifiable delay function is proved. The timestamping scheme [ 55 ] consists of sequence of verifiable delay function proofs linked to each other by a cryptographic hash function, modeled as a sequence of random oracles. Add verifiable delay functions to the sequence to increase the structure, thus preserving the safety guarantees of the structure.…”
