As a proactive response, reserving a certain amount of relief materials in advance is crucial for responding to potential disasters. Different from public tendering and bidding, this study proposes the purchasing mode of authorization, under which a...
Authorization in Internet of Things deployments assumes a reachable cloud; the cloud-fog-edge continuum breaks that assumption where decisions matter most. This article presents a delegation architecture in which authority is granted at the cloud and...
In high-throughput network perimeters, traditional single packet authorization (SPA) for zero trust network access faces performance bottlenecks and memory-safety risks from user-space packet capture and untrusted rich execution environments. To addr...
The article presents an innovative approach for secure authentication in internet banking transactions, utilizing an Out-of-Band visual two-factor authorization protocol. With the increasing rise of cyber attacks and fraud, new security models are ne...
Security authorization relies on a target security profile that is relatively stable, whereas threats, exposure, control health, and assessment evidence change continuously. We present a two-stage decision-support model that separates operational rem...
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents need authenticated identities, bounded action scopes and evidence before receiving adaptive authority. We present a post-quantum trust, accountability and control (TAC) protocol composing signed requests, independe...
