Asymptotically ideal Disjunctive Hierarchical Secret Sharing Scheme with an Explicit Construction

CoRR
Disjunctive Hierarchical Secret Sharing (DHSS) scheme is a secret sharing scheme in which the set of all participants is partitioned into disjoint subsets. Each disjoint subset is said to be a level, and different levels have different degrees of trust and different thresholds.

Strategies and Process of Trade Secret Misappropriation Mitigation: The Case of UK

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade Secrets (TS) are vital for innovation‐driven companies, and their loss can inflict significant financial and reputational damage, particularly in the absence of established policies to mitigate misappropriation in the UK. The current academic literature lacks detailed strategies for firms to effectively address these threats.

Despite the wave of purpose‐driven businesses in recent years, the concept of purpose remains underdeveloped. Purpose is a core component of business models but is difficult to retrofit into large corporations, which makes it especially ...

Novel CRT-based asymptotically ideal disjunctive hierarchical secret sharing scheme

Advances in Mathematics of Communications
Disjunctive Hierarchical Secret Sharing (DHSS)} scheme is a type of secret sharing scheme in which the set of all participants is partitioned into disjoint subsets, and each subset is said to be a level with different degrees of trust and different thresholds. In this work, we focus on the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT)-based DHSS schemes due to their

The Bazaar as a Model for Knowledge Work

Knowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents fieldwork that extends existing metaphors of knowledge work as a process shaped by hierarchical or market forces. A qualitative, ethnographic study of six knowledge‐intensive businesses in two countries identifies striking parallels with the Middle Eastern bazaar in contrast to Western impersonal markets and hierarchies. We

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Electrochemical Monitoring of Steel Corrosion in NS4 Solution Under Cathodic Protection Environment: Insights of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) monitored corrosion on mild steel under cathodic protection in soil‐like conditions. CP reduced corrosion from 410 to 7 µm/yr, shifting the mechanism from mixed activation–diffusion to activation‐controlled, enabling protective calcareous and oxide film formation.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...
