Speeding up the Wide-Pipe: Secure and Fast Hashing

Speeding up the Wide-Pipe: Secure and Fast Hashing

In this paper we propose a new sequential mode of operation – the Fast wide pipe or FWP for short - to hash messages of arbitrary length. The mode is shown to be (1) preimage-resistance preserving, (2) collision-resistance-preserving and, most importantly

k-Zero Day Safety: Measuring the Security Risk of Networks Against Unknown Attacks

k-Zero Day Safety: Measuring the Security Risk of Networks Against Unknown Attacks

The security risk of a network against unknown zero day attacks has been considered as something unmeasurable since software flaws are less predictable than hardware faults and the process of finding such flaws and developing exploits seems to be chaotic

Toward Objective Global Privacy Standards

Toward Objective Global Privacy Standards

Technical standards offer a new ability to support the important public policy goal of better protecting privacy. To do so most effectively, we must begin to move from the privacy standards based on subjective and procedural efforts to a series of

AN EFFICIENT SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS METHOD FOR NETWORK SIMULATION MODELS

AN EFFICIENT SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS METHOD FOR NETWORK SIMULATION MODELS

Simulation models for data communications networks encompass numerous parameters that can each take on millions of values, presenting experimenters with a vast space of potential parameter combinations. To apply such simulation models experimenters face a

How to Model a TCP/IP Network Using Only 20 Parameters

Most simulation models for data communication networks encompass hundreds of parameters that can each take on millions of values. Such models are difficult to understand, parameterize and investigate. This paper explains how to model a modern data

Cryptanalysis of the ESSENCE Family of Hash Functions

Cryptanalysis of the ESSENCE Family of Hash Functions

ESSENCE is a family of cryptographic hash functions, accepted to the first round of NIST's SHA-3 competition. This paper presents the first known attacks on ESSENCE. We present a semi-free-start collision attack on 31 out of 32 rounds of ESSENCE-512

Image Classification of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Image Classification of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

The traditional method of cell microscopy can be subjective, due to observer variability, a lack of standardization, and a limited feature set. To address this challenge, we developed an image classifier using a machine learning approach. Our system was

An Integrated PHY and MAC Layer Model for Half-Duplex IEEE 802.11 Networks

An Integrated PHY and MAC Layer Model for Half-Duplex IEEE 802.11 Networks

This paper introduces an IEEE 802.11 analytical model that examines uplink and downlink communications between non-saturated stations and a non-saturated access point. The model integrates channel effects and collisions into a single expression for the

Noise-Parameter Measurements with a Reflection Type Phase Shifter

We report a miniaturized phase shifter operating in the frequency range from 5 GHz to 7 GHz for noise-parameter extraction. Such a tunable solid-state unit represents a significant reduction in the size and mass as a source-pull component, compared to its
