Towards an Open Approach to Side-Channel Resistant Authenticated Encryption

In this talk, I will discuss how recent advances in side-channel analysis and leakage-resilience could lead to both stronger security properties and improved confidence in cryptographic implementations. For this purpose, I will start by describing how side-channel attacks exploit physical leakages such as an implementation's power consumption or electromagnetic radiation. I will then discuss the definitional challenges that these attacks raise, and argue why heuristic hardware-level countermeasures are unlikely to solve the problem convincingly. Based on these premises, and focusing on the symmetric setting, securing cryptographic implementations can be viewed as a tradeoff between the design of modes of operation, underlying primitives and countermeasures. Regarding modes of operation, I will describe a general design strategy for leakage-resilient authenticated encryption, propose models and assumptions on which security proofs can be based, and show how this design strategy encourages so-called leveled implementations, where only a part of the computation needs strong (hence expensive) protections against side-channel attacks. Regarding underlying primitives and countermeasures, I will first emphasize the formal and practically-relevant guarantees that can be obtained thanks to masking (i.e., secret sharing at the circuit level), and how considering the implementation of such countermeasures as an algorithmic design goal (e.g., for block ciphers) can lead to improved performances. I will then describe how limiting the leakage of the less protected parts in a leveled implementations can be combined with excellent performances, for instance with respect to the energy cost. I will conclude by putting forward the importance of sound evaluation practices in order to empirically validate (by lack of falsification) the assumptions needed both for leakage-resilient modes of operation and countermeasures like masking, and motivate the need of an open approach for this purpose. That is, by allowing adversaries and evaluators to know implementation details, we can expect to enable a better understanding of the fundamentals of physical security, therefore leading to improved security and efficiency in the long term.
Review on solar disturbance studies and electric power transmission line fault in Malaysia

&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;This work is a review on previous research and studies on the solar disturbance activities and faults that occur on the electric power transmission line. Research has shown that low latitude regions could also be affected by solar disturbance events. The effects of these events on earth are considerable and may cause electric power transmission failure. Geomagnetically induced current is one of the ground impacts to the transmission line, which may cause fault or disturbance and consequently power system failure. Solar disturbance data from magnetometers and electric power transmission line fault data from a digital fault recorder are reviewed in this work. These data would be valuable in determining the characteristics and effects of solar disturbances on Malaysia’s electric power transmission lines.&lt;/span&gt;
Robust Subspace Segmentation via Sparse Relation Representation

Spectral clustering based algorithms are powerful tools for solving subspace segmentation problems. The existing spectral clustering based subspace segmentation algorithms use original data matrices to produce the affinity graphs. In real applications, data samples are usually corrupted by different kinds of noise, hence the obtained affinity graphs may not reveal the intrinsic subspace structures of data sets. In this paper, we present the conception of relation representation, which means a point’s neighborhood relation could be represented by the rest points’ neighborhood relations. Based on this conception, we propose a kind of sparse relation representation (SRR) for subspace segmentation. The experimental results obtained on several benchmark databases show that SRR outperforms some existing related methods.
The Deduction of Generation Efficiency Coefficient of the Floating PV systems compared to Ground-mounted PV systems based on their operation-data analysis

Photovoltaic(PV) power plants are growing all over the world as a promising renewable alternative to generate electricity. Floating PV(FPV) systems have been researched as a new concept in PV industry to mitigate negative environmental impacts instead of installing conventional PV facilities on land. It is well-known(commonly understood) that the efficiency of FPV is higher than that of ground mounted one due to the water cooling effect. However, there are not many sufficient and numerical supporting data to prove the cooling effect to of (over) FPV. Both two FPV sites in Hapcheon-dam and three ground-mounted PV sites near Hapcheon-dam are selected to compare their efficiency with three methods. The three solar radiation sources are analyzed by statistical methods, one of which is selected to use. The selected radiation is applied to evaluate the efficiency of both FPV and ground PV from 2013 to 2018.
Pragmatic Perspective on Phatic Functions and Language Dignity

This paper means to elaborate phatic functions and language dignity of the Javanese culture-based society in Indonesia by using the Pragmatic perspective. The unclear rules of language functions, including the rules of Indonesian phatic functions, and the incomplete descriptions of language dignity will result in improper development of the language . The case seemingly happened in the Indonesian language including its dialects and vernaculars. Therefore, the researcher conducted this research to overcome this matter. There were two data collection methods used in this study, namely the observation method and the interview method. Each method was implemented through its basic and advanced techniques. The substantial source of research data was the excerpts of utterances delivered by Javanese speech community members. The process of data collection ended when the researcher finished classifying and typifying data. There were two kinds of data analysis methods used in this study, namely the distributional analysis method and the equivalent analysis method. The research result asserted that there are seven phatic functions found in the Javanese culture-based society in Indonesia, nemely: (1) joking function, (2) complimenting function, (3) apologizing function, (4) rejecting function, (5) avoiding function, (6) affirming function, and (7) reminding functions. Besides, the research result also asserted that the efforts to dignify the Indonesian language cannot stop when the linguistic rules are described in terms of linguistic definitions. The linguistic rules intertwining with the language uses as shown in the pragmatic phenomena need to be promoted continuously.
Creating Layouts for Virtual Game Controllers Using Generative Design

Video game controllers have a high influence factor on players, as they are responsible for the fun, motivation, and personality of a game. The organization and arrangement of the buttons are one of the relevant factors when developing new controllers since they are responsible for serving as an input of actions within the games. This work presents the construction of a generative design model to support game designers finding different and innovative layouts of virtual controllers for their games. The generative design produces many valid designs or solutions instead of one optimized version of a known solution. This solution was developed by linking genetic algorithms to generate a large number of layouts and machine learning techniques (SVN) to classify individuals between valid and invalid, seeking to facilitate the exploration of the design space by the designer. The tests performed sought to measure the variability of the results generated by the proposed model, showing that several solutions of different controllers with different configurations can be developed for a game.
Semantic Labeling for High-Resolution Aerial Images Based on the DMFFNet

Semantic labeling in high-resolution aerial images is important for its wide range of applications. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end dual multi-scale feature fusion network (DMFFNet) for high-resolution aerial multi-source images. DMFFNet aims to further improve the semantic labeling results of the region where the multispectral features are indistinguishable. Specifically, we design a channel fusion strengthen (CFS) module, which can fuse features adaptively by modelling interdependencies between channels. Furthermore, a multiscale context aggregation (MCA) module is utilized to obtain larger receptive field and more contextual information. The experiment results confirm the DMFFNet with CFS and MCA improve the semantic labeling performance by utilizing multi-source data.
Volunteering as a trend of educational work in higher education establishments

Theoretical and practical bases for forming professional competencies of higher education training applicants through participation in volunteering. It is indicated that the process of professional training in the higher education establishments should be aimed at the formation of a competitive specialist, taking into account the needs of employers and the realities of today.&#x0D; Volunteering is presented as an important resource for development and education of the specialists of different specialties because from the one hand volunteering allows to get general competencies and from the other hand it allows to gain the necessary experience in the future professional activities even during training process.&#x0D; The wide use of volunteering as a trend of educational work in higher education institutions will contribute to the formation of a coherent and harmonious personality and professional. The experience of usage of volunteering as a field of educational work in higher education institution on the example of the State Technical University “Azov State Technical University” is analyzed. The use of a new tool in the educational process - the diary of volunteer practice - is analyzed. The results of the conducted sociological research - through the method of interviewing of the applicants of higher education - according to the effectiveness of the organization of volunteer practice are presented. Volunteering can increase students' motivation to learn vocationally-oriented disciplines, but under the conditions of properly organized and controlled process of volunteeing. Therefore, higher education institutions need to develop and implement new forms of work that will be perceived and performed by the students. This will enhance the competitiveness of professionals in the labor market.
The colonial aftermath in digitalizing tax

The impact of colonialism is often discussed from a historical perspective. The influence of colonialism however remains evident in the current global developmental discourses, particularly in the use of technology for development because technology since colonialism has always been viewed as an important catalyst for development. In this paper, I analyze how a tax digitalization project is part of the colonial imperial formations arguing that the current project, tax for development, conforms to colonialrationale and imperatives as it employs notions of western modernity and transformation. In essence, the argument is that the very grounds used to justify colonialism is re-worked - though implicitly- to make digital technologies a cornerstone of development process especially with regards to revenue mobilization.
Regional Connections to National Authority Files

Local and regional authority files exist to cover gaps in national and international authority files. These types of authority files should not exist alone if they are going to be fully utilized by other institutions that may have resources about the same individuals or topics. This article discusses how the Western Name Authority File, a regional controlled vocabulary of personal names and corporate bodies, can link to larger authority files such as the Library of Congress Name Authority File and Wikidata. Workflows and issues encountered with linking this local authority file to larger authority files are discussed.
Penerapan Algoritma K-Means dalam Mengkluster Persentase Rumah Tangga yang Memiliki Komputer Berdasarkan Provinsi

The development of computers is no stranger to the among of people in the modern era, the easier it is to find and obtain information with various means of information that we need to support various activities carried out, both from newspapers, books, and the internet through computers. Households have computers that in fact are a family sphere which consists of fathers, mothers and children who own or have a computer (PC) in a household. But from the percentage data of the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) 2012-2016 in the provinces and rural areas in Indonesia, it shows that there are still many and there are no lines of urban and rural areas that are up to 50% or only a few urban lines that are close to the percentage of the number of households has a computer that has been recorded. In this study the author discusses the Application of the K-Means Algorithm in clustering the percentage of households that have computers where data is obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The criteria used are, for example, urban and rural areas. The usefulness of this method is to enter data into a cluster which consists of 3 clusters namely High, Medium and Low. Each data that has the same characteristics is grouped into one and the same cluster and data that has different characteristics are grouped into other groups. It is expected that this analysis can be an input for the government, especially the provinces that are the lowest cluster in the interest of households have computers to get a better evaluation review.
Using Non-Subjective Approximation Algorithm of D-S Evidence Theory for Improving Data Fusion

The paper efficiently processes the issue of "focal element explosion" produced when many focal elements are fused according to D-S evidence theory.The effectiveness of subjective approximation algorithms is low since they heavily involve artificial participation.In addition, the accuracy of the results calculated by the non-subjective approximation algorithm is better.In this paper, a non-subjective approximation algorithm based on evidence levels is proposed to address the above-mentioned problem.First, the evidence level is mainly determined by the cumulative mass value of the main focal element, and the number of focal elements is reduced by approximate treatment according to the corresponding initial standard determined by the levels of evidence.Second, to further increase the accuracy of the results, the levels of evidence are used to determine the order of fusion and the discounts of evidence.It obvious that even if there is erroneous or uncertain evidence in the fused evidence, it will not affect the results significantly.The experimental results show that the algorithm outperforms others in terms of adaptability and accuracy.

As a result of the study, it was found that there was a significant difference between learner interaction by project - based learning and communication type and kakao talk utilization group and LMS (Learning Management System) group. 1) The results of the kakao talk utilization group were significant in both the learner interaction and the learner's academic achievement according to the project - based learning and communication type. For current digital native learners, Kakao Talk is the result of the fact that it is the optimal environment for problem solving, communication, and uploading and sharing of educational activities.
The Symmetric Key Equation for Reed–Solomon Codes and a New Perspective on the Berlekamp–Massey Algorithm

This paper presents a new way to view the key equation for decoding Reed–Solomon codes that unites the two algorithms used in solving it—the Berlekamp–Massey algorithm and the Euclidean algorithm. A new key equation for Reed–Solomon codes is derived for simultaneous errors and erasures decoding using the symmetry between polynomials and their reciprocals as well as the symmetries between dual and primal codes. The new key equation is simpler since it involves only degree bounds rather than modular computations. We show how to solve it using the Euclidean algorithm. We then show that by reorganizing the Euclidean algorithm applied to the new key equation we obtain the Berlekamp–Massey algorithm.

Practice-Oriented Strategies of Student Immersion in the Artistic World of Musical Compositions

Music perception is a multi-level system of creative activity carried out in a unity of emotional and rational, collective and individual, physical and spiritual, conscious and intuitive, linear and non-linear mechanisms and actions. When a person perceives music, he cognizes not only the content, but also himself, realizes personal potential. In the article practice-oriented strategies for immersion into the artistic world of musical works: intonational-plastic, intonational-genre, intonational-contemplative, intonational-stylistic were grounded and experimentally tested. Covering a wide area of music content, they can be added, improved are considered as the basic foundations of the education of music perception, on which students can rely in their lives. None of the stated approaches gave direct instructions on what specifically needs to be heard in a piece of music. The methods of unobtrusive targeting of attention to the disclosure of musical content, its projection on life experience (speech, physical, kinesthetic, somatic, plastic, gestural) were prevailed. Incomparable results of perception arise in situations of subject-visual or emotional-figurative disclosure of the content of music, retelling it by a teacher or establishing links with students’ intonation experience (prototypes of speech, bodily movements); while listening to music, or its active experience, suspended, immersed in the emotionally saturated world of musical images. Attempts to overcome the spiritual and physical level of perception, to approach the content of music, bypassing these processes, do not lead to any meaningful pedagogical results.

Non-linear finance-growth nexus for African countries: A panel smooth transition regression approach

The economic growth effects of financial development have been the focus of much research in empirical growth literature. Recent literature has focus on the nonlinear effects of financial development on economic growth using advances in econometric techniques. Using a novel data set, we examine the conditioning role of the overall level of financial development, financial institutions development and financial markets development in finance-growth nexus for African countries using panel smooth transition regression approach (PSTR). Our results show that a sufficient level of the overall financial development is needed for finance to be growth enhancing in African countries, while a robust non-linear finance-growth nexus cannot be established when we conditioned finance-growth nexus on financial institutions development or financial markets development.
