Cold boot attacks target memory remanence effects in hardware to secret key material. Such attacks were first explored in the scientific literature by Halderman et al. (USENIX Security Symposium 2008) and, since then, different attacks have been developed against a range of asymmetric key and symmetric key algorithms. Such attacks in general receive as input a noisy version of the secret key as...

increasingly put more than one OSes into their computers and devices like mobile phones. Multi-boot and virtualization are two common technologies for this purpose. In this paper we promote a new approach called OS switching. With OS switching, multiple OSes time-share the same computer cooperatively. A typical implementation can reuse an OS's suspend/resume functionality with little modificati...

The objective of this study was to determine in healthy individuals whether the Bledsoe Diabetic Conformer Boot reduces plantar pressures as well as a fiberglass total contact cast. Eighteen normal subjects, without any prior foot or ankle problems, were recruited for this study. Plantar pressures were measured using the Novel Pedar in-shoe pressure measurement system. The results of this study...

BACKGROUND Most ice figure skaters train and compete with ongoing issues in the lower extremities, which are often overlooked by the skaters and considered injuries only when they prevent the athletes from skating. Although not severe, these conditions impair the quality of daily training and compromise the skaters' state of mind and performances. PURPOSE (1) To determine the point prevalence...

Purpose: This study investigated mediating effects of flexibility in the relationship between job stress, sleep quality, and mental well-being psychiatric hospital workers.Methods: Data were collected from 210 subjects recruited online February 25-March 24, 2022, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted using SPSS program 25.0 version.Results: Regarding workers, findings showed statistica...

Abstract We define Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options being used by Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) and Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) clients to uniquely identify booting client machines and their p...

We have implemented an FPGA soft-core, multithreaded, 64-bit MIPS R4000-style CPU called BERI to support research on the hardware/software interface. We have ported FreeBSD to this platform including support for multithreaded and soon multicore CPUs. This paper describes the process by which a BERI system boots from CPU startup through the boot loaders, hand off to the kernel, and enabling seco...

A number of claims have been made regarding cold boot memory acquisition techniques. There are numerous potential applications for these techniques should they be shown to be reliable and suitable for use in the field. An investigation into these techniques has been conducted. The results of conducted experiments do not show that cold boot memory acquisition is viable for use in the field in it...
