These writers have interesting commonness, especially in two of their novels—Chander Amabasya （Night of No Moon）, by Walilullah and The Outsider by Camus. The protagonists in both of these novels, ArifAli and Meursault respectively, suffer from existentialist crisis, mainly fueled by the impacts of the tarnished history of colonialism and the aftermaths. Even though the stories of the these protagonists take place almost halfway round the world in entirely different settings, the impacts and facades of the crisis are strikingly similar. This paper is a comparative study of soul-searching Arif Ali and Meursault.展开更多

Furthermore, seeing to the freeness of the secret key, the whole process of encryption as well as deeryption for the visual cryptography meets a fast dealing course. As to the security concern, it is able to guarantee that no one can have access to any clues about the content of a secret image from individual cover images. Thus, owing to the studies on this area, the target of light-weighted cryptography is reached. Now the visual cryptography has been developed from the meaningless shadows to the meaningful ones. Seeing to the highly developed technique, some advanced VC techniques are introduced in this survey, respectively.展开更多
