With introduction of smart things into our lives, cloud computing is used in many different areas and changes the communication method. However, cloud computing should guarantee the complete security assurance in terms of privacy protection, confidentiality, and integrity. In this paper, a Homomorphic Encryption Scheme based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (HES-ECC) is proposed for secure data transfer and storage. The scheme stores the data in the cloud after encrypting them. While calculations, such as addition or multiplication, are applied to encrypted data on cloud, these calculations are transmitted to the original data without any decryption process. Thus, the cloud server has only ability of accessing the encrypted data for performing the required computations and for fulfilling requested actions by the user. Hence, storage and transmission security of data are ensured. The proposed public key HES-ECC is designed using modified Weil-pairing for encryption and additional homomorphic property. HES-ECC also uses bilinear pairing for multiplicative homomorphic property. Security of encryption scheme and its homomorphic aspects are based on the hardness of Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), Weil Diffie-Hellman Problem (WDHP), and Bilinear Diffie-Helman Problem (BDHP).
This article offers a post-southernist reading that challenges and problematizes the impacts of haunted past of the American South with implications of violence embodied by Judge Holden in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, or The Evening Redness in the West. In order to present a moral compass to the reader, the text presents good-evil dichotomy and the world of human through the uncanny and grotesque characters of "the kid" and "the judge." Through this dichotomy, the reader acknowledges the possibility of alternative narratives that escape from the control and totalizing gaze of dominant power and discourses. The counter-narratives complicate any types of subjugation, mythologized history, and refuse to approve the violence that the prevailing power practices against innocent people. This paper aims to analyze the struggle between the good and evil and the degree of insanity performed by the evil depicted through southern gothic and grotesque scenes. Thus, the paper contributes to grotesque reading of the selected text through a number of elements: "exaggeration, hyperbolism, and excessiveness," generally considered fundamental attributes of the grotesque style (Bakhtin, 1984, p. 303).
Trauma studies aims to construct an intellectual and ethical response to human suffering and their cultural and artistic representations. Trauma studies have inspired an array of disciplinary and interdisciplinary criticism that offer paradigms for understanding human behavior and coping strategies. Drawing on postcolonial trauma theory, this essay analyzes how Roberto G. Fernández in his novel Holy Radishes! i complicates and challenges existing trauma paradigms suggesting that existing European psychoanalytic origins of the trauma theory are not adequate for depicting Cuban trauma experience. The text focuses on the specificity of trauma that constructs meaning through considering social, historical, and cultural contexts of traumatic experience. In other words, the paper aims to break with Eurocentrism by analyzing the text that bears witness to the suffering caused by exile. Thus the paper aims to discuss the usefulness of trauma theory for understanding colonial trauma caused by forced migration, exile, dispossession, diaspora, and political violence. trauma eurocentrism postcolonial Trauma collective Trauma temporality liminality
William Faulkner presents the human predicament, sense of place, and the impact of historical, social, and racial paradigms on human relationships. Faulkner problematized racial segregation, white supremacy, North and South dichotomy, which were manifested in daily relations of the characters. He conflates racial confusion, with grotesque, sexual uncertainty, and homoerotic subtexts to display the impact of past, race, and region on love relations that lead to death in the examined cases. Faulkner creates his fictional Yoknapatawha 1 County where universal human relations and the commonality of human experience could be found. The reader can find love and desire in all its myriad strange manifestations, imbricated politics of sexuality and race, and how his men and women fail and, more rarely, succeed in love. Within this scope, this paper attempts to analyze how the legacy of the Old South and the traumatic impact of Puritanism complicate relations of love and desire through the concepts of love and death in Light in August
Food is central to the sense of identity and imbued with regional identity. Recently, scholars from different disciplines have focused more on foodways and its relation to regional identity and culture. With its rich and diverse food culture, the U.S. South is like a mosaic of foodways. Southern spaces, culturally and spatially reconstructed through global movements and multiculturalism, have been constantly introduced new food habits and cultural experiences since the arrival of the first immigrants to the region. The food culture that the immigrants brought to the U.S. South contributed significantly to reconstruction of cultural identity because immigration introduces possibilities of change in food and eating habits. Within this context, this paper attempts to analyze the integral role of the foodways in Cynthia Shearer's 2005 novel The Celestial Jukebox, and discuss how foodways and immigration, through dialogic character of the foodways, reconstruct southern identity with possibilities of diverse, multicultural, and more global South that escapes from biracial, exceptional, and monolithic structure.
