In this paper, the random key pre-distribution scheme introduced in ACM CCS'02 by Eschenauer and Gligor is reexamined, and a generalized form of key establishment is introduced. As the communication overhead is one of the most critical constraints of any successful protocol design, we introduce an alternative scheme in which the connectivity is maintained at the same level as in the original work, while the communication overhead is reduced by about 40% of the original overhead, for various carefully chosen parameters. The main modification relies on the use of a two-level key pool design and two round assignment/key establishment phases. Further analysis demonstrates the efficiency of our modification.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 센서 노드의 제한된 자원이 보안 기법을 디자인 하는데 많은 영향을 미치기 때문에 적은 자원을 요구하는 보안 연구가 주로 이루어지고 있다. 대칭키 암호는 키 선 분배를 필요로 하지만 요구하는 연산 량이 적기 때문에 센서 네트워크를 위한 보안 연구로 주목받고 있다. 키 선 분배는 전체 네트워크의 통신채널 보안을 위해서 노드를 배치하기 전에 키 또는 키의 재료를 각 노드에 할당하는 것이다. 이와 관련하여 다양한 연구가 이루어 졌지만 연결성과 탄력성은 아직 풀어야할 과제로 남아있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 연결성 향상과 높은 탄력성을 제공하면서도 적은 자원을 요구하는 그리드 기반의 키 선 분배 기법을 보인다. 제안하는 기법은 평면 기반의 그리드를 이용하여 다항식을 할당하고 키를 생성한다. 제안하는 기법과 다른 키 선 분배 기법들의 네트워크 연결성, 자원의 사용량, 보안성의 비교 분석을 통하여 제안하는 기법의 효율성을 분석하였다.

With the paramount importance of key account management in business-to-business relationship, today companies are using this approach as a strategic weapon in their selling efforts targeted at the most important customers to solve their complex requirements with special treatment that eventually ensures both parties' financial and nonfinancial objectives. The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of key account management performance among the export-oriented readymade garments companies in Bangladesh with regards to company's experience in business, size of the company and key account serving capacity of the company. Using a questionnaire, data from 112 readymade garments companies in Bangladesh were collected and analyzed using descriptive analysis and ANOVA to test the level of key account management performance. Results show that the level of key account management performance by the garments companies did not vary by the company's experience in business and size of the company respectively. In contrast, the level of key account management performance was found to be different concerning high, medium, and low customer service capacity. Apparently, companies with big number of customers show better performance than companies with small number of customer. Implications for this study are discussed along with suggestions for future research avenues.

Purpose: Due to the rapid growth of e-commerce in Thailand, the operational excellence of distribution service providers has been elevated. Thus, this research investigated the key drivers of operational performance of e-commerce distributors in Thailand. The research contains key variables: the analytics capabilities of an organization, supply chain disruption orientation, innovation capability, and operational performance. Research design, data, and methodology: An online survey is administered to top managers and key personnel (N=425) employed for at least one year in Thailand's top five e-commerce distributors. The sampling methods were conducted using purposive sampling, quota sampling, and convenience sampling. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Model were applied to analyze and confirm the model's goodness-of-fit and hypothesis testing. Results: The findings reveal that an organization's analytics capabilities significantly affect supply chain disruption orientation and supply chain resilience. Furthermore, operational performance is affected by supply chain disruption, supplier quality management, and innovation capability. Nevertheless, supply chain resilience and digital supply chain have no significant effect on operational performance. Conclusions: The results imply that supply chain digitalization could drive higher operational performance. Distribution businesses are encountering transformation and disruption, which should address the high level of a digital supply chain, innovation, and quality management to maximize their profit margin and delivery service quality.

This paper studied the problem of determining the optimal inventory level to meet the customer service target level in a situation where the customer demand for each branch of a nationwide retailer is uncertain. To this end, ISR (In-Stock Ratio) was defined as a key management indicator (KPI) that can be used from the perspective of a nationwide retailer such as Samsung, LG, or Apple that sells goods at branches nationwide. An optimization model was established to allow the retailer to minimize the total amount of inventory held at each branch while meeting the customer service target level defined as the average ISR. This paper proves that there is always an optimal solution in the model and expresses the optimal solution in a generalized form using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition regardless of the shape of the probability distribution of customer demand. In addition, this paper studied the case where customer demand follows a specific probability distribution such as a normal distribution, and an expression representing the optimal inventory level for this case was derived.

안전한 멀티캐스트 서비스와 관련하여 아키텍쳐, 키분배, 송신자 인증 등에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있지만 서비스 거부 공격이나 권한 없는 멤버에 대한 멀티캐스트 서비스 접근을 통제할 수 있는 접근통제 기술에 대한 연구는 매우 미진한 상태이다. 멀티캐스트에서의 다단계 접근통제는 비밀 원격회의나 다양한 등급을 갖는 고객에 대한 차별된 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는데 응용할 수 있다. 실제 멀티캐스트 네트워크를 구성할 경우, 각각의 보안등급에 따라 서로 다른 가상 네트워크를 구성하게 된다. 그러나 기존 방식은 다중 접속 네트워크 환경에서의 불법접근을 효율적으로 막지 못하고 있고 다단계 접근통제 메커니즘을 제공하고 있지 않다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 기존 멀티캐스트 접근통제 방식을 확장하여 네트워크 계층에서의 효율적인 계층형 접근통제 방식을 제안한다. 또한 어플리케이션 계층에서의 계층형 접근통제를 위한 계층키(hierarchical key) 분배 방식과 가입 및 탈퇴가 자유로운 동적 멀티캐스트 환경에서의 효율적인 계층키 갱신 방식을 제안한다.

Purpose - Key account management is a supplier company initiated relational approach that has received great attention from both academics and practitioners manifested in the business-to-business relationship literatures. However, there is widespread debate and contention on what should be the underlying theoretical base for defining this vital part of relationship marketing. With the insights from the social exchange theory, present paper explores how social exchange affects the dynamic nature of key account management relationship at the organizational level. Research design, data, and methodology - The paper follows a comprehensive review approach to examine the relationship between social exchange theory and key account management approach. Conceptual arguments and findings are assessed across studies with the main objective of showing how social exchange theory develops the governance mechanism in maintaining the key account relationship. Results - Since relational norm is considered as a glue for the maintenance of buyer-seller relationship in social exchange theory, factors develop the non-contractual governance mechanism 'relationship' in business-to-business relationship and this norm replaces or supplements more formal governance mechanisms such as contracts are explored. Conclusions - This paper advances central relational norm to manage the company's most important key customers and demonstrates how this norm can be developed in buyer-seller key account relationship. Implications from this new perspective are forwarded.

The aim of this paper is to propose an integrative definition of key account management (KAM) at the organizational level through a content analysis of the existing definitions of KAM available in the business literatures. A representative pool of definitions of key account management was generated through literature review from twenty three journals that covers the divergence of name variety like global account management, strategic account management, national account management, international key account management, key client management, major account management, key customers management and key account management. Relating to the definition of key account management various attributes are identified through content analysis and according to the relevance, profile for each attributes are developed. On the basis of these attributes a diagrammatic and textual definition is proposed that covers the different standpoints and aspects of key account management approach and captures its essence as well. Eventually, several strategic implications are derived that create the field for further empirical investigation.
