Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for determining a slope slip plane with a gently-inclined soft interlayer, including: S1, determining a curve formed with a slip arc of a trailing edge tearing plane, a soft interlayer plane and a slip arc of a leading edge shear opening as a slope slip plane; S2, calculating a slip plane stability coefficient; S3, determination of a position of the gently-inclined soft interlayer plane: if the slip plane stability coefficient is less than 1 but close to 1, determining that the position of the slope slip plane is accurate; otherwise, moving the position of the soft interlayer plane and repeating steps S1 and S2, until the slip plane stability coefficient is less than 1 and close to 1. The method is simple, and has a high accuracy for determining a non-circular slip plane with a soft interlayer as a bottom slip plane.

Abstract: A privacy protection authentication method based on a wireless body area network may be applied to a smart home care system. The method provides an authentication method for two-way authentication and key verification between a device and a cloud server, can ensure identities of the device and the cloud server to be valid and prevent network information security from being affected by external invasion attacks. A physical unclonable function and an elliptic curve cryptography algorithm are introduced to encrypt key data in the authentication process, so that the whole authentication process is in a safe environment, and the security of the authentication process is further improved through adding and removing functions of a third-party identity. The privacy protection authentication protocol method can resist replay attacks and smart card impersonation attacks, the whole authentication process is safe and efficient, and has a high application value in smart home care scenes.
