Improving The Security And Flexibility Of One-Time Passwords By Signature Chains, Kemal Biçakci, Nazi̇fe Baykal Jan 2003

Improving The Security And Flexibility Of One-Time Passwords By Signature Chains, Kemal Biçakci, Nazi̇fe Baykal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

While the classical attack of ``monitor the network and intercept the password'' can be avoided by advanced protocols like SSH, one-time passwords are still considered a viable alternative or a supplement for software authentication since they are the only ones that safeguard against attacks on insecure client machines. In this paper by using public-key techniques we present a method called signature chain alternative to Lamport's hash chain to improve security and flexibility of one-time passwords. Our proposition improves the security because first, like other public-key authentication protocols, the server and the user do not share a secret, thereby eliminating attacks …


Extensional Neotectonic Regime Through The Ne Edge Of The Outer Isparta Angle, Sw Turkey: New Field And Seismic Data, Ali̇ Koçyi̇ği̇t, A. Arda Özacar Jan 2003

Extensional Neotectonic Regime Through The Ne Edge Of The Outer Isparta Angle, Sw Turkey: New Field And Seismic Data, Ali̇ Koçyi̇ği̇t, A. Arda Özacar

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Akşehir-Afyon Graben (AAG) is a 4-20-km-wide, 130-km-long NW-trending depression that separates central Anatolia in the NE and the Isparta Angle (IA) in the SW. Its southwestern margin-bounding fault determines the northeast edge of the outer IA that was previously interpreted as a compressional neotectonic structure, whereas our field evidence and recent seismic data substantiated that it is an oblique-slip normal fault characterising an extensional neotectonic regime. The AAG has an episodic and asymmetrical evolutionary history. This is indicated by two superimposed graben infills and structures. The older infill is folded, thrust-faulted and Early-early Middle Miocene in age. The younger …


Coulomb Stress Interactions And The 1999 Marmara Earthquakes, Zi̇yadi̇n Çakir, A. Aykut Barka, Emre Evren Jan 2003

Coulomb Stress Interactions And The 1999 Marmara Earthquakes, Zi̇yadi̇n Çakir, A. Aykut Barka, Emre Evren

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The effects of previous earthquakes on the 1999 İzmit and Düzce earthquakes, the influence of the İzmit earthquake on the Düzce earthquake, and the seismic hazard in the Marmara region are investigated using Coulomb failure stress. Calculation of the Coulomb stress changes using the fault parameters deduced from the modelling of the coseismic Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) and GPS data shows that the İzmit earthquake occurred where the Coulomb stress was increased by the previous events. Despite the stress decrease on the Düzce Fault due to the events before 1999, the Düzce earthquake appears to have been triggered by …


Kinematics Of The November 12, 1999 (Mw=7.2) Düzce Earthquake Deduced From Sar Interferometry, Zi̇yadi̇n Çakir, A. Aykut Barka, Jean Bernard De Chabalier, Rolando Armijo, Bertrand Meyer Jan 2003

Kinematics Of The November 12, 1999 (Mw=7.2) Düzce Earthquake Deduced From Sar Interferometry, Zi̇yadi̇n Çakir, A. Aykut Barka, Jean Bernard De Chabalier, Rolando Armijo, Bertrand Meyer

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

On November 12 1999, a destructive earthquake struck the Düzce area, following the 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake that had occurred to the west about 3 months earlier. The Mw=7.2 Düzce earthquake was somewhat interesting in several ways. The most surprising feature of this earthquake is related to its rupture geometry, which appears to contradict what is commonly observed in strike-slip earthquakes. First, compared to its magnitude, the length of the surface rupture mapped in the field was rather short (~35 km). Second, according to seismic and some geodetic observations, the fault plane dips to the north at a very …

Timing Of Late Holocene Earthquakes On The Eastern Düzce Fault And Implications For Slip Transfer Between The Southern And Northern Strands Of The North Anatolian Fault System, Bolu, Turkey, Christopher Hitchcock, Erhan Altunel, A. Aykut Barka, Jeffrey Bachhuber, William Lettis, John Helms, Scott Lindvall

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Results of trenching across the eastern Düzce Fault document that surface rupture has occurred repeatedly on the fault prior to the 1999 Düzce earthquake, and that offset during previous earthquakes occurred at the same location and with similar amounts and type of slip as that of the 1999 earthquake. The most recent pre-1999 earthquake on the fault occurred about 300 years ago. At least four and possibly five earthquakes (including 1999) have occurred in the past 2100 years. The earthquake recurrence interval ranges from 300 to 800 years. Estimates of cumulative slip on the northern and southern branches of the …


Earthquake Faulting At Ancient Cnidus, Sw Turkey, Erhan Altunel, Iain S. Stenwart, Luigi Piccardi, A. Aykut Barka Jan 2003

Earthquake Faulting At Ancient Cnidus, Sw Turkey, Erhan Altunel, Iain S. Stenwart, Luigi Piccardi, A. Aykut Barka

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The ruins of Cnidus, an important ancient city in southwestern Asia Minor, lie directly on an earthquake fault - the Cnidus Fault. Offset and deformed archaeological remains along the trace of the fault testify to its recent activation. The ancient city's famous Round Temple of Aphrodite is vertically offset by 0.35 m across the fault. The fault also forms the back wall to the Sanctuary of Demeter where Roman-age walls are displaced and deformed by slip on the fault. Archaeological evidence suggests multiple episodes of abrupt destruction at the site and, in the Sanctuary of Demeter, indicates past earthquake surface …


Earthquakes And Seismic Faulting: Effects On Tunnels, Villy A. Kontogianni, Stathis C. Stiros Jan 2003

Earthquakes And Seismic Faulting: Effects On Tunnels, Villy A. Kontogianni, Stathis C. Stiros

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

A study of tunnels in areas affected by strong earthquakes in the last 50-100 years revealed at least three cases of tunnels damaged by earthquake shaking or offset by seismic faulting, including the Bolu (Turkey) twin tunnels, which collapsed during the 1999 Düzce earthquake. These data indicate that tunnels cannot be considered as structures invulnerable to earthquakes. Furthermore, the tectonic offset of tunnels shows that certain observed seismic surface ruptures are not necessarily indicative of tectonic faulting and represent only secondary local ground instability effects.
