Tag-DFA for Improved DFA Compression in Deep Packet Inspection

Learning DFA for Simple Examples

We present a framework for learning DFA from simple examples. We show that e cient PAC learning of DFA is possible if the class of distributions is restricted to simple distributions where a teacher might choose examples based on the knowledge of the target concept. This answers an open research question posed in Pitt's seminal paper: Are DFA's PAC-identi able if examples are drawn from the uni...

A Memory Efficient DFA Using Compression and Pattern Segmentation

Incremental DFA Minimisation

We present a new incremental algorithm for minimising deterministic finite automata. It runs in quadratic time for any practical application and may be halted at any point, returning a partially minimised automaton. Hence, the algorithm may be applied to a given automaton at the same time as it is processing a string for acceptance. We also include some experimental comparative results.

Synchronization of some DFA

A word w is called synchronizing (recurrent, reset, directable) word of deterministic finite automaton (DFA) if w brings all states of the automaton to an unique state. Černy conjectured in 1964 that every nstate synchronizable automaton possesses a synchronizing word of length at most (n− 1). The problem is still open. It will be proved that the minimal length of synchronizing word is not grea...

DFA on AES

In this paper we describe two different DFA attacks on the AES. The first one uses a theoretical fault model that induces a fault on only one bit of an intermediate result, hence allowing us to obtain the key by using 50 faulty ciphertexts for an AES-128. The second attack uses a more realistic fault model: we assume that we may induce a fault on a whole byte. For an AES-128, this second attack...
