Title: Cryptographic bus architecture for preventing Differential Power Attacks (DPA)
Inventor: SHU DAVID B
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2005-06-07
Abstract: The cryptographic bus architecture prevents usage of side channel information by Differential Power Attacks (DPA) by randomly toggling the polarity of a target bit at a data bus driver. The bus architecture comprises bi-directional drivers 315, 317 connected by a bus 316. An N-bit random number generator 313 has N outputs 314, wherein each output comprises one bit. The value of each random bit is used to toggle a driver. i.e. change its polarity, and drive the internal bus so as to defeat correlation. The chance of having a "0" or "1" will be approximately 0.5 due to the randomization of the polarity. Preferably the polarity control line is probe-resistant. Other embodiments are disclosed for preventing information leakage attacks that utilise timeline alignment, including inserting a random number of instructions into an encryption algorithm such that the leaked information cannot be aligned in time to allow attacker to break the encryption.

Abstract: 830,687. Automatic bobbin changing looms. ATELIERS HOUGET SOC. ANON. VERVIETOISE POUR LA CONSTRUCTION DE MACHINES.. March 29, 1956 [March 30, 1955], No. 10032/56. Class 142(2) Bobbin-changing mechanism is fitted at both ends of a loom to operate in a single front cell of the shuttle boxes, which also have either a single rear cell or a rear part consisting of a drop box. Each bobbin changing mechanism is controlled by a cop feeler, (which may be photo-electric) operating in the rear part of the shuttle box at the opposite end of the loom. Two-cell change box, Fig. 5. Cells 1, 2 are carried by a slide 5 moved fore-andaft of the slay by a rack 11 actuated by a toothed sector 12 from an eccentric mounted on the axis of the slay. The cells are locked in alignment with the shuttle race by a spring-loaded plunger (not shown) entering a notch 30 or 31, the plunger being withdrawn during the forward part of the oscillation of the slay by a roller riding on a ramp fixed to the loom frame. If bobbin changing is initiated when the pattern requires the rear cell to be brought into use, forward movement of the box is delayed by moving blocks 25, 26 close together to block the path of a horn 24, whereby the slide 5 is held with the front cell 2 under the transfer hammer, a spring 8 meanwhile accommodating the movement of the rack 11; when the bobbin has been changed, the spring 8 moves the slide 5 forward quickly to bring the rear cell into position for picking. Drop boxes; picker guides. Four dropbox cells 54, Fig. 19, slide in guides 53 which carry a single front cell 52. Horizontal movement of the box assembly is effected by linkage 60 from a crank 61, and vertical movement of the drop box is effected by a lever 56 and link 55. A guide 89, Fig. 30, is provided for the picker 88. Cop feeler, Fig. 29. Each cell of the drop boxes is provided with a lamp 80 and a photo-electric cell 81, which operates when the weft uncovers a slot 91 through the bobbin 90 to allow light to be reflected from a mirror 92 on the back wall of the box. Magazine. In the embodiment employing drop boxes, each magazine 63, Fig. 19, is pivoted at 67 and operated by the change box motion, which swings it forward as shown when the box assembly is moved forward to bring the drop box into use. The bobbins 65, Fig. 26, in each compartment are supported by sliding flaps 74, interconnected by a link 78. A rod 75 is pulled to the left whenever the corresponding drop box cell at the other end of the loom is brought into use; the flaps 74 are thereby partly withdrawn, but not sufficiently to release a bobbin. A rod 75<SP>1</SP> is pulled to the left by an electromagnet, and kept there, when the cop feeler of the same cell detects depletion of weft. A bobbin is released when both rods occupy their left-hand position simultaneously.

Abstract: 748,683. Electroluminescence. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. April 6, 1954 [April 8, 1953], No. 10095/54. Drawings to Specification. Class 39 (1). One of the electrodes of a flexible electroluminescent panel is a light-transmitting flexible material formed of conductive glass fibres. The other electrode may be of the same material or a sheet of metal or metallized or metal-clad plastic or plywood. The phosphor, e.g. zinc oxide-zinc sulphide activated by copper, manganese, lead or silver may be dispersed in a solid dielectric which cements it to the glass fibres and a covering layer and edge mouldings of transparent plastic cover the assembly except where metal terminal tabs are applied. The conductive glass is made by drawing glass fibres at 600 C. through an atmosphere of anhydrous stannic tetrachloride; or by spraying cadmium nitrate or indium trichloride solution in atomized form onto the fibres. The fibres are spun and woven into cloth or pressed to form paper sheets. Glass paper or cloth may alternatively be rendered conductive by dipping in a solution of a metal salt, e.g. indium tri-fluoro-acetate with stannic chloride dissolved in ethylene glycol mono-ethyl-ether acetate. Specification 748,684, [Group III], is referred to.
