  • As containerized maritime transport began in earnest, the size of container ships has steadily increased, and recently, the operation of 24,000 TEU-class vessels has become regular. However, concerns about the efficiency and productivity of such mega container ships from a port operational perspective have continued to be raised. The 10th Busan International Port Conference requested an in-depth study on the trends of container ship enlargement by analyzing the order status of ultra-large container ships from major global liners. Generally, the factor that drives the upsizing of ships is the realization of economies of scale that lowers transportation costs per TEU, which leads to a higher level of cost reduction per unit transportation compared to the increase in fuel consumption due to transporting large amounts of cargo with a single ship. However, it is necessary to examine whether this trend of container vessel enlargement is feasible for port operations. To this end, this study compares and analyzes the productivity and efficeiency of different ship sizes to evaluate the effect of ship size on port operations.

  • In 2010, Pedro et al. proposed RFID distance bounding protocol based on WSBC cryptographic puzzle. This paper points out that Pedro et al.'s protocol not only is vulnerable to tag privacy invasion attack and location tracking attack because an attacker can easily obtain the secret key(ID) of a legal tag from the intercepted messages between the reader and the tag, but also requires heavy computation by performing symmetric key operations of the resource limited passive tag and many communication rounds between the reader and the tag. Moreover, to resolve the security weakness and the computation/communication efficiency problems, this paper also present a new RFID distance bounding protocol based on WSBC cryptographic puzzle that can provide strong security and high efficiency. As a result, the proposed protocol not only provides computational and communicational efficiency because it requires secure one-way hash function for the passive tag and it reduces communication rounds, but also provides strong security because both tag and reader use secure one-way hash function to protect their exchanging messages.

  • Currently, the airport is expected to improve flight punctuality and operational efficiency after establishing A-CDM, which provides a foundation for mutual cooperation based on an information sharing system among stakeholders. An important element of the A-CDM is to share time information generated by each stakeholder from the arrival of an aircraft to ground operations and departure of the aircraft, thereby supporting timely arrival and departure of aircraft and improving the efficiency and punctuality of airport operations. In the UAM system, a vertiport that plays a role similar to an airport also needs to establish a system to share time information generated by each stakeholder for efficient operation of limited resources. In this regard, a method is needed to identify time information that needs to be shared by each stakeholder and apply technology to share it. In this paper, we propose an application method for system technology that classifies and mutually shares time information generated by stakeholders related to Vertiport operation according to data characteristics.

  • We report on high-power continuous-wave operations of an Er:YAG ceramic laser in-band pumped by a cladding-pumped Er,Yb fiber laser at 1532 nm. With an output coupler of 10% transmission, the ceramic laser yielded 16.7 W of continuous-wave output at 1645 nm for 28.8 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 61.0% with respect to the incident pump power. The lasing wavelength switched to 1617 nm when output couplers of > 20% transmission were used. Up to 16.2 W of 1617 nm output was generated for 33.0 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 51.8%. Graphene Q-switched operation of Er:YAG cermic laser at 1645 nm was also demonstrated with stable pulses of 30-74 kHz repetition rates and 1.5-6.4 ${\mu}s$ pulse widths.

  • Depth and working load control is one of the most important technique in control system for tractor rotary implement automation. Keeping the depth consistent is critical to bring along crops and to improve the efficiency and quality of the following operations. Keeping the load of engine consistent is an essential factor for the efficiency of operation and engine protection of tractor. In this study we investigated the possibility of application of depth and working load control system for tractor using a proportional valve through field tests. Depth control was implemented by the ascent and descent of 3 point linkage for the change of setting depth. There were 4 mm and 5.2 mm control deviations for setting depths of 50mm and 100mm, respectively. Load control was operated appropriately by the ascent and of descent of 3 point link for the change of setting working load. The standard deviations between setting load and engine load were 171 rpm at 1.3 km/h and 164 rpm at 2.3 km/h tractor travel velocity. The results of experiment showed that the characteristics of response was sufficient to be used as the implement depth and working load control system for tractor using proportional valve.

  • In Korea, most of the land area is composed of mountainous areas, making it difficult to develop airports because there is not enough open space to operate airports or airfields. However, the current development of the air transportation industry and the rapid increase of aviation demand, the construction of the training airfield infrastructure should be more actively reviewed for safe and smooth flight training. In this study, we analyze the actual condition of operation of domestic training airfield and the case study of overseas training site in order to establish appropriate level standard model of training infrastructures. In addition, this study suggests implications for the appropriate scale and operational efficiency of the training flight infrastructure.

  • With the advent of database-as-a-service (DAAS) and cloud computing, more and more data owners are motivated to outsource their data to cloud database in consideration of convenience and cost. However, it has become a challenging work to provide security to database as service model in cloud computing, because adversaries may try to gain access to sensitive data, and curious or malicious administrators may capture and leak data. In order to realize privacy preservation, sensitive data should be encrypted before outsourcing. In this paper, we present a secure and practical system over encrypted cloud data, called QSDB (queryable and secure database), which simultaneously supports SQL query operations. The proposed system can store and process the floating point numbers without compromising the security of data. To balance tradeoff between data privacy protection and query processing efficiency, QSDB utilizes three different encryption models to encrypt data. Our strategy is to process as much queries as possible at the cloud server. Encryption of queries and decryption of encrypted queries results are performed at client. Experiments on the real-world data sets were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the proposed system.

  • Outsourcing computation is one of the most important applications in cloud computing, and it has a huge ability to satisfy the demand of data centers. Modular exponentiation computation, broadly used in the cryptographic protocols, has been recognized as one of the most time-consuming calculation operations in cryptosystems. Previously, modular exponentiations can be securely outsourced by using two untrusted cloud servers. In this paper, we present two practical and secure outsourcing modular exponentiations schemes that support only one untrusted cloud server. Explicitly, we make the base and the index blind by putting them into a matrix before send to the cloud server. Our schemes provide better performance in higher efficiency and flexible checkability which support single cloud server. Additionally, there exists another advantage of our schemes that the schemes are proved to be secure and effective without any cryptographic assumptions.
