A Note on Inverted Twisted Edwards Curve

This paper is a complementary work to the Edwards curve family. In this paper, we study the inverted Edwards coordinates on twisted Edwards curves (denoted by inverted twisted Edwards curves). We provide explicit addition, doubling, and tripling formulae on inverted twisted Edwards curves with projective coordinates and extended projective coordinates. Using the extended projective coordinates, the new explicit unified addition formulas cost $$9 \textbf{M}$$ .
Comparative Study of Fuzzy, PID, and 2DOF-PID Controller for Liquid Level Control System

The aim of this paper is to design a single tank liquid level nonlinear control system. For this, various control schemes are described. PID, 2DOF-PID and fuzzy controllers are used and are compared on the basis of different parameters like settling time, transient, rise time, and overshoot. By comparing different parameters, it is observed that fuzzy gives the best result in terms of overshoot and settling time. Thus, fuzzy controllers can be considered as best controller for designing such system.
Several Classes of Niho Type Boolean Functions with Few Walsh Transform Values

Boolean functions with n variables are functions from $$\mathbb {f}_{2^n}$$ to $$\mathbb {f}_2$$ . They play an important role in both cryptographic and error correcting coding activities. The important information about the cryptographic properties of Boolean functions can be obtained from the study of the Walsh transform. Generally speaking, it is difficult to construct functions with few Walsh transform values and determine the Walsh transform value completely due to the difficulty in solving equations. In this paper, we study the Walsh transform of the Niho type Boolean function with the form $$ f(x)=\sum _{i=l}^{k}\mathrm{{Tr}}_{1}^{n}(ax^{s_{i}(2^m-1)+1}), $$ where k, l, m, n are positive integers satisfying $$1\le l \le k<2^m$$ , $$n=2m$$ and $$a+a^{2^m} \ne 0$$ . By choosing $$s_i$$ properly, three classes of such functions with at most 5-valued Walsh transform are obtained. Besides, by using particular techniques in solving equations over finite fields, the value distributions of the Walsh transform for these functions are also completely determined.
Higher-Order Masking Scheme for Trivium Hardware Implementation

Trivium as a representative stream cipher has been adopted by ISO/IEC in 2012. It can be foreseen that Trivium will be widely used to achieve the goal of information security. In practice, probing attacks can be used to recover key bits used by an implementation of Trivium under the (glitch-extended) probing model. In light of this, higher-order masking scheme secure under the glitch-extended probing model should be proposed for Trivium. Inspired by the ideas of the DOM masking scheme proposed by Gross et al. and the CHES 2021 masking scheme proposed by Shahmirzadi et al., we propose two versions of higher-order masking scheme for Trivium. We analyze the security of two versions of higher-order masking scheme under the glitch-extended probing model. Then, the performance of two versions of higher-order masking scheme is evaluated on ASIC and FPGA with or without the pipeline technique, and meaningful observations are obtained. Overall, higher-order masking schemes that are secure under the glitch-extended probing model are proposed for Trivium and their performances are evaluated on typical hardware platforms.
Efficiently Computable Complex Multiplication of Elliptic Curves

After the GLV and GLS methods were proposed, a great deal of attention was devoted to the efficiently computable complex multiplication of elliptic curves. In this paper, we mainly compute the rational expressions of complex multiplications of elliptic curves. Our contribution involves two aspects. We propose a new algorithm to effectively compute the rational expression of a complex multiplication over finite field. We also present a method to construct an elliptic curve with efficiently computable complex multiplication by a given quadratic imaginary field. Specifically, we show all 13 classes of elliptic curves with complex multiplication over quadratic imaginary fields. This is the first systematic study of the expression of complex multiplication.
Modeling and Sharing Knowledge in Expertise Processes

Expertise processes are exploratory and incremental, i.e., they are not defined a priori, but their structure evolves over the course of the expertise. These processes are omnipresent in companies but remain little studied. In this article, we propose to characterize these processes and to propose mechanisms to facilitate their realization. Accordingly, a general answer set to knowledge representation (Answer set programming (ASP)) and a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation (The Rule Interchange Format (RIF)) are used to improve knowledge sharing and interoperability in a cooperative expertise framework. Therefore, in this paper, we translate an Answer Set Program (ASP) solving approach modeling an expertise to a Rule Interchange Format using the Core Answer Set Programming Dialect (CASPD). We start by presenting how expertise processes are being carried out based on the NF X50–110 standard, followed by a presentation of Answer Set Programming and Rule Interchange Format. We end up by illustrating the translation of a car diagnosis expertise from ASP to CASPD.
The All-Human Space of Transformation: Technology and Culture

The aim of the study is to determine the connection between technology and culture in the context of the transformation of human existence, considered in the philosophical works of Friedrich Dessauer, Oswald Spengler, Pavel Florensky, and the literary works of Alexander Bogdanov and Andrei Platonov. Methodology and research methods. The study is based on a comprehensive approach that allows to identify the features of the analysis of the connection between technology and culture in the context of goals set in the works of a number of both philosophers and writers of the first half of the 20th century. Research results. An attempt to determine the essence of technology in its relationship with culture is presented in the concepts that underlie the philosophy of technology. Spengler focuses on the metaphysical essence of technology understood as tactics of living. Dessauer reveals the ontological status of technology associated with the formation of God-given forms of Being. According to Florensky, technology as a creative part of Culture is a way of reuniting the human and the divine. The discussion of the results. The meanings of life and knowledge can be set by other ways of mastering the world in addition to philosophy, literature is a unique way of familiarizing with the experience of understanding the world. Conclusions. Outside the broad ontological and anthropological context of the analysis of technology, it is impossible to set the boundaries of the reorganization of society, determine the current parameters of culture, and predict the future of the man-technology-culture system.
Differential Cryptanalysis of Round-Reduced SPEEDY Family

SPEEDY is a family of ultra low latency block ciphers proposed at TCHES 2021 by Leander et al.. The standard version, SPEEDY-6-192 offers 128-bit security with high encryption speed in hardware. Differential cryptanalysis proposed in 1990 by Biham and Shamir is one of the most popular methods of cryptanalysis of block ciphers. It is usually the first choice to evaluate the security for designers when designing a new block cipher. The automatic search for various distinguishers based on SAT and MILP models etc. boosts the cryptanalysis of block ciphers. However, the performance of the automatic search is not always satisfactory, especially for searching long differential trails of block ciphers with large state sizes. Hence, we endeavor to accelerate the SAT-based automatic search model for differentials of SPEEDY. In this paper, we give a 3.5-round differential characteristic with the probability of $$2^{-104.83}$$ and a 4.5-round differential characteristic with the probability of $$2^{-150.15}$$ . Furthermore, by balancing the key recovery and the differential distinguisher, we adjust the distinguisher to speed up filtering wrong pairs with some tricks. Finally we launch a valid 6-round attack for SPEEDY-7-192 with a complexity of $$2^{158.06}$$ . We also propose a 5-round attack utilizing a 3.5-round differential distinguisher with the time complexity of $$2^{108.95}$$ .
Towards Equity in Proof-of-Work Mining Rewards

This work targets unfairness in Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s distinguished permissionless consensus protocol, towards miners with relatively small computational powers, and miners which participate during relatively unrewarding mining periods. We propose a set of computationally-grounded metrics for measuring miner expenditures, miner compensation, and coin value. Using our metrics, we quantitatively bring to light the sources of inequity in Nakamoto using Bitcoin as a real-world example. Furthermore, we propose a set of reward issuance constraints for mining incentive mechanisms to achieve equitable rewards, and argue for the efficacy of applying our constraints.
Cloud Software Engineering

Cloud is a distributed ecosystem and differs significantly from on-premise software development platform. Cloud application development is built upon a service-based architecture, application programming interface driven communications, container-based infrastructure and a bias for DevOps process such as continuous improvement, agile development, continuous delivery and collaborative development among developers, quality assurance teams, security professionals, IT operations and line-of-business stakeholders. Therefore, while building applications on the cloud there needs to be a novel attitude to requirements gathering, software design, development, deployment, debugging, maintenance and testing. The main objective of the workshop is to discuss how Cloud Software Engineering differs from traditional software engineering and the challenges that arise and create a community around the relevant work areas.

Due to its potential, it is currently one of the most popular research areas in the software engineering field.
A Report on First Workshop on Learning-Aided Adaptive Systems

Enterprises today have transformed from standalone entities into interconnected systems of systems while having to function in a dynamic and uncertain environment. Uncertainty originates from several factors such as changing needs and behaviours of diverse stakeholders, occurrence of external events and advent of new technologies. This creates a need for software systems to adapt dynamically in response to change, posing a series of technological challenges. Software systems of the future need to be specifically architected to learn from interactions with their environment, recommend and evaluate adaptations as well as automatically realize the adaptations in code so as to enable enterprises to continue meeting their objectives and stay relevant. This workshop aims to bring together eminent researchers and practitioners to deliberate upon learning-based approaches to solve critical problems in industry and society.
Book review

Container-based cloud brokers sit between multiple cloud providers and users, renting virtual machines (VMs) from multiple cloud providers, provisioning services to users, and executing jobs in the form of containers. Current cloud providers offer two billing models for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), including on-demand and reserved. Given the huge uncertainty of user requests, cloud brokers can combine two billing options to rent VMs to reduce costs while gaining the flexibility to handle short-term fluctuations in requests. Optimal scheduling and auto-scaling strategies depend on information about user requests over a long period of time in the future, which is often difficult to predict accurately. To solve this problem, this work proposes an online service provisioning strategy to optimize the cost of cloud brokers to satisfy user requests without requiring any future information. Our proposed strategy consists of an online container scheduling algorithm and an online reserved VM pool auto-scaling algorithm. It is shown theoretically that the two proposed online algorithms can achieve guaranteed competitive ratios of n+1n−1TT−3(μ+1) and 2−1T respectively. Eventually, the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms is validated with both simulated and multiple real user request datasets. Our proposed strategy can significantly reduce the cost of cloud brokers compared to several benchmarks.

Results of the all-Russian scientific and practical conference “Children’s book in the digital age” with international participation

Tomsk State Pedagogical University hosted on December 2-3, 2021 a conference “Children’s book in the digital age” dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the graduate of Tomsk Teacher’s Institute, children’s writer A. M. Volkov. This paper summarizes the results of this conference. The uniqueness of this conference dedicated to children’s literature is that the phenomena of children’s books and reading were discussed under a variety of research perspectives by scientists and practitioners from different fields of knowledge. The scientific event was a part of the series of events organized by TSPU dedicated to children’s and youth literature, reading, the image of childhood in fiction. The conference provided a platform for understanding the global challenges associated with changing formats of children’s books and the emergence of a new generation of digital readers. During the conference, the participants discussed the influence of A. M. Volkov on modern literature, the role of illustration in a children’s book, considered the possibilities of using fiction in inclusive work, and identified effective technologies for reading books, including for “special” children. Of importance were the aspects of considering museum pedagogy and library work in the development of reading culture of a child, teenager, and family.
“I write with green paste”: ink color as an element of presentation and interpretation of epistolary documents (based on the material of the cycle of letters by V. M. Shukshin to M. S. Yakutina)

This paper shows the role of ink color as one of the elements of the graphic component of the epistolary text in interpreting letters and presenting them in the process of publishing and museum exhibiting. The analysis was made of a cycle of letters by famous Russian writer V. M. Shukshin to M. S. Yakutina. It is proved that different ink colors create an entire spectrum of semantic connections and intertextual echoes, allowing the writer to express his thoughts, feelings, impressions of dreams, and memories inspired by communication with a friend of youth in a more comprehensive way. The unity of the addressee and thematic commonalities and regular references from later letters to earlier ones allows uniting them into a cycle of three letters. For each letter, Shukshin uses a different ink color: black, green, and red, with each color implying certain semantics: black - the restoration of communication; green - hope and youth; red - repentance and death. The analysis results provide a conclusion that when publishing significant epistolary texts for the first time, it is necessary to attach facsimile and indicate the color of ink and/or other graphic features in the commentary, for example, way of writing: ballpoint pen, pencil, typed/printer; the presence of drawings, the type of paper: writing or drawing paper. In addition, when photocopies rather than originals are exhibited in the museum, color photocopies should be used.
The movie “M” (1931) by Fritz Lang in the context of the scientific, social and cultural life of Germany in the 20-30 - ies of the twentieth century

The article deals with the specifics of the social, political and cultural life in the Weimar Republic at time of the making of Fritz Lang's movie “M”. While showing the connection between the historic events of the time and the ideas conveyed in the movie, the author rejects the traditional interpretation of “M” as a pamphlet reflecting the problems in Germany before the national socialists came to power. The cooperation of the police and the criminal elements making attempts to catch the maniac is considered to be a logical continuation of the spiritual unity of the upper and lower classes shown in Lang's “Metropolis” four years before. The movie was banned by the Nazis in 1934, which can be explained by the inappropriateness of such ideas in the society where criminal behaviour is associated with biological deficiency - the question of criminal liability of the mentally deficient raised in “M” loses its relevance for the same reason. © С.Н. Роман, 2022 In the first place the movie is analyzed from the perspective of the artistic evolution of the detective genre, caused by the gradual strengthening of the realistic tendencies in cinema and the weakening of the influence of expressionism on the artistic life in general and Lang's style in particular. A criminal act is no longer shown by Lang - as opposed to his earlier works - to be an act provoked by unexplainable mystical forces; now it receives psychological explanation. The rejection of romantic traditions typical of the German cinema of the twenties, the appeal to pseudo-documentary filming, the arrival of sound in cinema - all this leads to the simplification of visual imagery, later on a characteristic feature of the movies of the thirties. A special focus is made on Lang's application of suspense, which is the key to understanding the whole composition of the artwork and becomes an integral part of detective movies made popular by Alfred Hitchcock for dozens of years to come.
A collection of expedition photographs by A.I. Skassi in the collection of the department of manuscripts and book monuments of the Scientific library of TSU

The article highlights the almost unexplored issue of the collection of photographs preserved in the Department of Manuscripts and Book Monuments of the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University. The photographs were taken by August Ivanovich Skassi. The author of the article managed to find biographical information about the photographer. As a military topographer, Skassi participated in scientific expeditions in Central and Central Asia. Knowing about his work, Grigory Nikolaevich Potanin invited Scassi on an expedition to China and Tibet, which lasted three years -from 1884 to 1886. It is known that Scassi made a topographic survey of the area along the route of Potanin's journey (more than 7 thousand kilometers long). In addition, he took about 200 photographs, which depicted the urban landscapes of China and the people who met on the expedition path. The author of the article notes that the works of G.N. Potanina, A.I. Scassi, A.V. Potanina in the Chinese expedition were awarded medals of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society. Potanin highly valued the photographs of Skassi and kept some of them in his personal collection. It is known that in 1920 G.N. Potanin died and was buried in Tomsk, and his collection of photographs, together with his manuscripts and the library, first came to the Siberian Research Institute, and then to the library of Tomsk University. And a few decades later, a library employee N.V. Vasenkin carried out the attribution of these photographs. The collection of 16 photographs is stored in the collection of the Department of Manuscripts and Book Monuments of the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University as part of the Potanin fund. The photographs depict the Buddhist monasteries of Gumbum, Kadan-Syume and Wutai, the shrine of Yun-zhao-si in Wutai, the streets and individual buildings of Chinese cities and villages. The collection contains photographs of the family of the Dzungarian prince and the family of a Mongol official from Amdos, as well as portraits of ordinary people in China. Photographs of Tangut men in national clothes and servants of the Buddhist monastery Labran are unique. Most of the photographs are pasted onto cardboard or forms from the photo studio where they were printed. Many of the photographs have handwritten text made by G.N. Potanin. The photographs are well preserved, but are damaged: the paper has turned yellow, there are tears along the edges, and others. The collection of photographs by A.I. Skassi has reliable information about the history and culture of China and is an important historical source.
