Zheng, Yubo (author), Xu, Peng (author), Wang, Wei (author), Chen, Tianyang (author), Susilo, Willy (author), Liang, K. (author), Jin, Hai (author)Many practical secure systems have been designed to prevent real-world attacks via maximizing the attacking cost so as to reduce attack intentions. Inspired by this philosophy, we propose a new concept named delay encryption with keyword search (DEKS) to resist the notorious keyword guessing attack (KGA), in the context of secure cloud-based...conference paper 2022

Chen, Bei (author), Dong, Fuqiang (author), Yu, Xin (author), Ren, S. (author), Zheng, Changjiang (author)Today, high-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) is widely used in drainage asphalt pavements. However, due to its high construction temperature, HVMA is prone to thermal oxidative aging, which reduces its life cycle and increases the maintenance costs of asphalt pavements. In this study, the effects of warm-mix additives on the physical,...journal article 2022
