摘要:
A method and system for providing secure authenticated cryptographic key distribution in a communication system has properties very similar to a Two-Party Authentication Protocol. A new group key is distributed by a server to a selected group of users in the system. A braided structure of the meassages sent by the server to each user allows achieving authentication and, at the same time, secure and secret key distribution. Moreover, the braided structure makes it possible to construct minimal-length protocol messages.
摘要:
A doping method for a solid host material (2), preferably a film, using an electrochemical cell (1, 2, 5, 6) and the host material (2) as one of the electrodes, wherein the doping is confined to a selected region of the host material by using either a specially designed counterelectrode, for example a tip (1), or by covering the host material (2) by a layer with the exception of the selected region. The method is especially suitable for using oxygen as dopant and the preparation of oxide superconductors. By using control devices and (piezoelectric) transducers known from the scanning tunneling microscope, doped regions of submicron resolution can be produced.
