Published: December 2023

Background/Objectives

Sleep disorders are more common among individuals living with spinal cord injury and spinal cord disease (SCI/D) than among non-disabled people. Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will (1) understand the pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, clinical consequences and management of the most common sleep disorders in non-disabled people; (2) recognise the current knowledge, knowledge gaps, and recently research-generated knowledge on sleep disorders in individuals living with SCI/D; and (3) appreciate the use of an educational tool to raise awareness on sleep disorders among individuals with SCI/D.

Methods/Overview

This workshop will include two 20-minute lectures with illustrative cases followed by open discussion on the following topics: (i) pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, clinical consequences and management of the most common sleep disorders in non-disabled people; and (ii) the current knowledge, knowledge gaps, and recently research-generated knowledge on sleep disorders in individuals living with SCI/D. Finally, an example of educational tool on sleep for individuals living with SCI/D will be presented.

Results

Untreated sleep disorders can have significant short-term and long-term consequences. Early diagnosis and timely treatment is key in the prevention or mitigation of consequences of sleep disorders. Proper management of sleep disorders can have psychosocial and functional impacts on the lives of individuals with SCI/D; it may also mitigate other secondary medical conditions after SCI/D. Finally, there is a pressing need to raise awareness of this issue among individuals living with SCI/D and healthcare professionals.

Conclusion

Sleep disorders are common and understudied in the SCI/D population. Early diagnosis and proper treatment is key to improve the lives of individuals with SCI/D and, likely, reduce other secondary medical conditions from SCI/D. Raising awareness on sleep disorders among individuals with SCI/D is needed.

Authors: Hadi Saputro Teguh , Faizah Fiqqih , Silk Moonlight Lady
Published: December 2023

DC motors are one of the most popular motors used in the industrial world. In operation, DC motors use a direct current (DC) source. In its application, the BLDC motor is combined with a method to make it easier to control the BLDC motor to match what is desired, one example is the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) method, which is a control consisting of a standard configuration of Kp, Ki, and Kd whose values are determined in order to get the desired result or speed, namely speed with good stability with a small error rate and overshoot. The control system for the BLDC stepper motor nema 17 on the conveyor uses the STM32 Nucleo F030R8 module as a microcontroller and the HC-05 bluetooth module as a remote control interface on the conveyor motor. To send commands from the microcontroller to the motor, a driver is needed which is used as a data receiver and control setting from the microcontroller, namely the L298N motor driver. The monitoring system on the miniature conveyor uses an LM393 speed sensor as a stepper motor rotation speed reader and an INA219 sensor as a current and voltage reader. Sensor readings will be processed on the microcontroller and the results will be displayed on the 1.3-inch LCD screen that has been installed. In this study, it is still in prototype form, so the miniature conveyor cannot receive too heavy a load. The load is adjusted to the torque capacity of the BLDC stepper motor used, which is 0.36 N.m. In other words, the maximum miniature conveyor receives a load with a stable speed of less than or equal to 2 kg, because the load on the conveyor belt will affect the speed of the BLDC motor. With this research, it is hoped that it can be a lesson about control and monitoring systems on BLDC motors. The maximum Bluetooth range is 9 meters.

Published: December 2023

Dr. Ferdinand Lumbantobing Sibolga Airport Management Unit has three generators with different capacities. The first engine has a capacity of 50 KvA, the second engine is 125 KvA, and the third engine, which is a standby engine and connected to an Acos panel, has a capacity of 250 KvA. This 250 KvA generator serves as a backup if the power supply from PLN goes out, to provide electricity for the Terminal, Office, AFL, Power house, and Dr. F.L. Tobing Airport Tower. This airport gets a current supply of 345 KvA from PLN. Generators are widely known for acting as a backup power source when PLN is off, used at various scales, including at airports. Genset is important to maintain the availability of electricity in aviation safety services. However, generator fuel monitoring at UPBU Dr. F.L. Tobing needs to be improved, because currently it only uses an indicator hose without a fuel exhaustion alarm. This can result in the shutdown of the generator set when fuel is low, so it is necessary to check the fuel capacity periodically while operating to avoid interruptions in power supply. The research method used is quantitative method.

SEV-Step A Single-Stepping Framework for AMD-SEV
Authors: Wilke Luca , Wichelmann Jan , Rabich Anja , Eisenbarth Thomas
Published: December 2023

The ever increasing popularity and availability of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) had a stark influence on microarchitectural attack research in academia, as their strong attacker model both boosts existing attack vectors and introduces several new ones. While many works have focused on Intel SGX, other TEEs like AMD SEV have recently also started to receive more attention. A common technique when attacking SGX enclaves is single-stepping, where the system’s APIC timer is used to interrupt the enclave after every instruction. Single-stepping increases the temporal resolution of subsequent microarchitectural attacks to a maximum. A key driver in the proliferation of this complex attack technique was the SGX-Step framework, which offered a stable reference implementation for single-stepping and a relatively easy setup. In this paper, we demonstrate that SEV VMs can also be reliably single-stepped. To lay the foundation for further microarchitectural attack research against SEV, we introduce the reusable SEV-Step framework. Besides reliable single-stepping, SEV-Step provides easy access to common attack primitives like page fault tracking and cache attacks against SEV. All features can be used interactively from user space. We demonstrate SEV-Step’s capabilities by carrying out an end-toend cache attack against SEV that leaks the volume key of a LUKS2-encrypted disk. Finally, we show for the first time that SEV is vulnerable to Nemesis-style attacks, which allow to extract information about the type and operands of single-stepped instructions from SEV-protected VMs.
StaTI: Protecting against Fault Attacks Using Stable Threshold Implementations
Authors: Dhooghe Siemen , Ovchinnikov Artemii , Toprakhisar Dilara
Published: December 2023

Fault attacks impose a serious threat against the practical implementations of cryptographic algorithms. Statistical Ineffective Fault Attacks (SIFA), exploiting the dependency between the secret data and the fault propagation overcame many of the known countermeasures. Later, several countermeasures have been proposed to tackle this attack using error detection methods. However, the efficiency of the countermeasures, in part governed by the number of error checks, still remains a challenge.In this work, we propose a fault countermeasure, StaTI, based on threshold implementations and linear encoding techniques. The proposed countermeasure protects the implementations of cryptographic algorithms against both side-channel and fault adversaries in a non-combined attack setting. We present a new composable notion, stability, to protect a threshold implementation against a formal gate/register-faulting adversary. Stability ensures fault propagation, making a single error check of the output suffice. To illustrate the stability notion, first, we provide stable encodings of the XOR and AND gates. Then, we present techniques to encode threshold implementations of S-boxes, and provide stable encodings of some quadratic S-boxes together with their security and performance evaluation. Additionally, we propose general encoding techniques to transform a threshold implementation of any function (e.g., non-injective functions) to a stable one. We then provide an encoding technique to use in symmetric primitives which encodes state elements together significantly reducing the encoded state size. Finally, we used StaTI to implement a secure Keccak on FPGA and report on its efficiency.
ModHE: Modular Homomorphic Encryption Using Module Lattices
Authors: Mukherjee Anisha , Aikata Aikata , Mert Ahmet Can , Lee Yongwoo , Kwon Sunmin , Deryabin Maxim , Sinha Roy Sujoy
Published: December 2023

The promising field of homomorphic encryption enables functions to be evaluated on encrypted data and produce results for the same computations done on plaintexts. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that many ventures at constructing homomorphic encryption schemes have come into the limelight in recent years. Most popular are those that rely on the hard lattice problem, called the Ring Learning with Errors problem (RLWE). One major limitation of these homomorphic encryption schemes is that in order to securely increase the maximum multiplicative depth, they need to increase the polynomial-size (degree of the polynomial ring) thereby also ncreasing the complexity of the design. We aim to bridge this gap by proposing a homomorphic encryption (HE) scheme based on the Module Learning with Errors problem (MLWE), ModHE that allows us to break the big computations into smaller ones. Given the popularity of module lattice-based post-quantum schemes, it is an evidently interesting research endeavor to also formulate module lattice-based homomorphic encryption schemes. While our proposed scheme is general, as a case study, we port the well-known RLWE-based CKKS scheme to the MLWE setting. The module version of the scheme completely stops the polynomial-size blowups when aiming for a greater circuit depth. Additionally, it presents greater opportunities for designing flexible, reusable, and parallelizable hardware architecture. A hardware implementation is provided to support our claims. We also acknowledge that as we try to decrease the complexity of computations, the amount of computations (such as relinearizations) increases. We hope that the potential and limitations of using such a hardware-friendly scheme will spark further research.
Faster Bootstrapping via Modulus Raising and Composite NTT

Published: December 2023

FHEW-like schemes utilize exact gadget decomposition to reduce error growth and ensure that the bootstrapping incurs only polynomial error growth. However, the exact gadget decomposition method requires higher computation complexity and larger memory storage. In this paper, we improve the efficiency of the FHEWlike schemes by utilizing the composite NTT that performs the Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) with a composite modulus. Specifically, based on the composite NTT, we integrate modulus raising and gadget decomposition in the external product, which reduces the number of NTTs required in the blind rotation from 2(dg + 1)n to 2(⌈dg⌉/2 + 1)n. Furthermore, we develop a modulus packing technique that uses the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) and composite NTT to bootstrap multiple LWE ciphertexts through one blind rotation process.We implement the bootstrapping algorithms and evaluate the performance on various benchmark computations using both binary and ternary secret keys. Our results of the single bootstrapping process indicate that the proposed approach achieves speedups of up to 1.7 x, and reduces the size of the blind rotation key by 50% under specific parameters. Finally, we instantiate two ciphertexts in the packing procedure, and the experimental results show that our technique is around 1.5 x faster than the two bootstrapping processes under the 127-bit security level.

Published: December 2023

Information technology is increasingly advanced, coupled with the existence of the internet, which is now a global communication system that allows everyone around the world to meet and talk about almost anything. The internet has become a medium of communication, which is done through various media available on it. The internet provides various social media platforms, both for positive and negative reasons, and has become the order of the day because nowadays, the world is so tied to the internet. Unfortunately, not everyone uses the internet for a good cause. There are many people who use social networks to commit crimes, such as cyber-crime in the form of social engineering. Social engineering allows malicious hackers to gain unauthorized access to an organization's networks, user accounts and emails, databases, smart devices, and electronics, such as laptops, personal webcams, and sensors, including network connectivity that allows all of these objects to exchange data. These hackers use a variety of methods to carry out social engineering attacks. The technical complexity of the information systems used in locating, examining, and analyzing relevant transaction data requires sufficient time and technical expertise to gather robust evidence to support the case for social engineering, which involves in-depth analysis of bank transaction data related to the attack. This process can be time-consuming, especially if many transactions need to be traced and analyzed.

Even though flipped learning tactics are crucial for top-notch education, teachers typically struggle to apply the lessons and concepts when using a learning environment with an electronic platform. In this study, instructors of Design and Skills at Malaysian boarding schools were asked to discuss how their methods of instruction related to the flipped classroom. The acceptance of flipped classrooms, instructors' teaching strategies, and their views were all examined in this study. 17 teachers from various parts of Malaysia took part in the study. Nine items from the "Learning Environment Questionnaire" were applied in this study. The data that was gathered was analysed using percentages. In general, 80% of instructors at Malaysian boarding schools have good attitudes about flipped learning and give the method high marks for the novel approach. Due to the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural characteristics of their pupils, Malaysian Boarding School teachers have to recognise the right learning methodologies, such as mastery and problem-solving learning. According to the guideline, doing this was essential to achieving both learning performance and enjoyment.

A enxertia é uma técnica utilizada na produção de mudas visando controlar doenças, com o uso de plantas tolerantes a estresse bióticos, e aumentar a produtividade do tomateiro (Solanum lycopersicum). Porém, os desafios futuros e dúvidas sobre a enxertia de tomate são destacados, com isso fica evidente que são raros os trabalhos sobre adequada combinação enxerto e porta enxerto em termos de adequado diâmetro da planta no momento da enxertia. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar as características morfofisiológicas das mudas do tomateiro enxertadas com diferentes diâmetros e determinar a produção sob condições de ambiente protegido. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos, compostos pelos diâmetros do coleto das mudas no momento da enxertia, coincidentes aos clipes de enxertia de 1,8; 2,0; 2,2; 2,5 e 2,8 mm (tratamentos T1; T2; T3; T4 e T5, respectivamente) com 15 repetições. Após a cicatrização, as mudas foram avaliadas quanto a: altura de planta; diâmetro do colo; massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e raiz; comprimento da raiz, taxa de mortalidade (%); área foliar da muda; e as características fisiológicas, clorofila flavonóis, e índice de balanço de N; e antocianina. Na colheita, foram avaliados, o peso (grama), o diâmetro (mm) e o comprimento (mm) do fruto. Também foram determinadas a produtividade (kg/ha); número de cachos e número médio de frutos por planta. Os resultados demostraram que a enxertia realizada com diâmetros de coleto entre 2,2 e 2,5 mm formam mudas de melhor qualidade. No entanto, na fase produtiva as mudas provenientes da enxertia, possuem potencial produtivo em ambos os diâmetros do coleto, para o tomateiro italiano cultivado em ambiente protegido.
