Cryptanalysis of Modified STPKE’ Protocol
Abstract: ABSTRACTIn 2007, Lu and Cao proposed a simple 3-party authenticated key exchange (S-3PAKE) protocol. Kim and Koi found that this protocol cannot resist undetectable online password guessing attacks and gave fixed STPKE’ protocol as a countermeasure using exclusive-or operation. Recently, Tallapally and Padmavathy found that STPKE’ is still vulnerable to undetectable online password guessing attack and gave a modified STPKE’ protocol. In this article, we show that the improvement that …

Dietary Modification and Adequacy Among Jaundice Patients
Abstract: Jaundice refers to the yellow discolouration of the skin and heavily perfused tissues. Since jaundice is a mere symptom and not a disease, its dietary management is based upon underlying cause. The present study is an attempt to assess the dietary intake of jaundice patients and evaluate it in terms of nutritional adequacy. A sample of 100 patients from both the sexes and in any age group was selected randomly …

Gamma- and Electron Beam-Induced Crystalline modification in Poly (Lactic Acid): Effects of Radiation Dose and Dose Rate
Abstract: Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is an important commercial biodegradable polyester whose properties are dictated by its molecular architecture and semicrystalline nature. The application of ionizing radiation particularly gamma rays and electron beams is extensive for sterilization and materials processing. The effect of ionizing radiation on the crystallinity of PLA is complex however, since irradiation causes concurrently chain scission, radical formation, oxidation, recombination and mobility driven structural reorganization. This work studies the …
