This study investigates the battle map in 'the journal of armed forces (陣中日誌)' that is written by Japanese 14th infantry battalion to defeat Korean resistance. The analysis of the battle archives shows that the use of topographic maps led to an overwhelming victory to the Japanese military. In addition, the map used by Japanese military was proven to be a hand copy of 1:50,000 scale field surveyed topographic map, called as the secret military map. The Japanese military generally used 1: 50,000 scale maps. However, the Japanese military sometimes used magnified 1:20,000 scale maps for more accurate military operations.

This study investigates and proves the historical facts about the confidential land survey on Korean peninsula made by Japanese intelligence officers at the end of Chosun Dynasty. Under the command of general staff office of Japanese army, the military officers produced several maps through road map measurements and visual measurements. Although previous literature indicated road map measurements on Korea were originally implemented from 1885, this study confirms that road map measurements were initiated in 1882 by a lieutenant Isobayashi. Reflecting secret map making procedures, the individual military intelligence officers had specialized roles for swift information collection and map production.

In this paper, we propose an efficient public key trace and revoke scheme. An trace and revoke scheme is a broadcast encryption scheme which has a tracing and revocation algorithm. It would maintain security of the scheme to revoke pirate keys which are colluded by malicious users. In addition, property of revocation can be applied to various circumstances because it can help cipher text delivered to certain users who are supposed to. In this paper, we would change the scheme[Augmented broadcast encryption scheme] based on the bilinear groups of the composite order into that of prime order and we can improve the size of public key, secret key, ciphertext considerably. Furthermore, we define property of revocation precisely, so we can obtain the result that the scheme with limited revocation can be expanded to have a full revocation. This paper can be easily applied to the organization such as government, military, which has a hierarchical structure.
