Pen and Paper Arguments for SIMON and SIMON-like Designs

In this work, we analyze the resistance of Simon-like ciphers against differential attacks without using computer-aided methods. In this context, we first define the notion of a Simonlike cipher as a generalization of the Simon design. For certain instances, we present a method for proving the resistance against differential attacks by upper bounding the probability of a differential characteri...

Technical Paper

The study compared the performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors and anaerobic filters (AF) for the treatment of wheat straw washwater (WSW) which has a high concentration of Potassium ions. The trial was conducted at mesophilic temperatures (37 o C). The digesters were started up over a 48-day period using a synthetic wastewater feed and reached an organic loading rate (OL...

Technical note on the paper :

In Section 3.1 of [1] a methodology is presented to compute the salient points of a 3D mesh based on the computation of its protrusion function, see Equation (1) in [1]. Explicitly each point υ of the Mesh is examined as a potential salient point. Specifically a geodesic neighborhood is constructed for each point of the mesh and it is considered as a salient point if it is the local maximum of ...
