Abstract: In a conventional moiré method, achieving both measurement accuracy and dynamic measurement and balancing field of view and measurement accuracy have been difficult. The present invention makes it possible to handle conventional moiré fringes as a grating for generating phase-shifted second-order moiré fringes, use a spatial phase shift method algorithm to accurately analyze the phases of the second-order moiré fringes before and after deformation, and determine shape from the phase differences between gratings projected onto the surface of an object of measurement and a reference surface and determine deformation and strain from the phase differences between the second-order moiré fringes, before and after deformation, of a repeating pattern on the object surface or a produced grating. As a result, it is possible to measure the three-dimensional shape and deformation distribution of an object accurately and with a wide field of view or dynamically and with a high degree of accuracy.

Abstract: A method of equality verification using relational encryption including receiving a relational key that includes a first relational key component and a registration ciphertext that includes an encryption of a first plaintext data set. The method includes storing the registration ciphertext without decrypting the registration ciphertext. After the storing of the registration ciphertext, the method includes receiving an authentication request and communicating a safeguard data set that includes a random challenge in response to the authentication request. The method includes receiving an encrypted response that is generated based on the safeguard data set and a second plaintext data set. The method includes verifying a relationship between the encrypted response and the registration ciphertext using the relational key without decrypting the encrypted response and without decrypting the registration ciphertext. The relationship indicates that equality exists between the first and the second plaintext data sets.
