Urban Transportation Pattern in India: A Review
Abstract: Cities and towns play a major role in encouraging economic growth and prosperity. Though less than one-third of Indian people live in cities and towns, these areas produce over two-third of the country’s income and account for 90% of government revenues. In the upcoming years, as India becomes more and more urbanized, urban areas will play a major role in supporting high rates of economic growth. But, economic growth momentum …

Cloud Computing Data Storage
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Identity-based proxy re-encryption schemes have been proposed to shift the burden of managing numerous files from the owner to a proxy server. Nevertheless, the existing solutions suffer from several drawbacks. First, the access permission is determined by the central authority, which makes the scheme impractical. Second, they are insecure against collusion attacks. Finally, only queries from the same domain (intra-domain) are considered. We note that one of the main …
