NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 3.0

NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 3.0

Section 1305 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-140) directs NIST ‘‘to coordinate the development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of

Differential Properties of the HFE Cryptosystem

Differential Properties of the HFE Cryptosystem

Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) has been put forth as a possible post-quantum family of cryptographic schemes. These schemes lack provable security in the reduction theoretic sense, and so their security against yet undiscovered attacks remains

Reducing the Cognitive Load on Analysts Through Hamming Distance Based Alert Aggregation

Reducing the Cognitive Load on Analysts Through Hamming Distance Based Alert Aggregation

Previous work introduced the idea of grouping alerts at a Hamming distance of 1 to achieve alert aggregation; such aggregated meta-alerts were shown to increase alert interpret-ability. However, a mean of 84,023 daily Snort alerts were reduced to a still

Towards a Standard Mixed-Signal Parallel Processing Architecture for Miniature and Microrobotics

The conventional analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital signal processing (DSP) architecture has led to major advances in miniature and micro-systems technology over the past several decades. The outlook for these devices is significantly enhanced

A Hybrid CPU-GPU System for Stitching Large Scale Optical Microscopy Images

A Hybrid CPU-GPU System for Stitching Large Scale Optical Microscopy Images

Researchers in various fields are using optical microscopy to acquire very large images, 10K--200K of pixels per side. Optical microscopes acquire these images as grids of overlapping partial images (thousands of pixels per side) that are then stitched

Image Quality Testing: Selection of Images for Assessing Test Subject Input

Image Quality Testing: Selection of Images for Assessing Test Subject Input

Determining image quality is dependent to some degree on human interpretation. Although entirely subjective methods of evaluating image quality may be adequate for consumer applications, they are not acceptable for security and safety applications where

BQP-completeness of Scattering in Scalar Quantum Field Theory

Recent work has shown that quantum computers can in polynomial time compute scattering probabilities in massive quantum field theories. One can translate this task into a corresponding formal problem in computational complexity theory. Here, we establish
