We present a computational study of attentional capture by meaning, based on Barnard et al's key-distractor attentional blink task. We highlight a sequence of models, from an abstract black-box to a structurally detailed white-box model. Each of these models reproduces the major findings from the key-distractor blink task. We argue that such multi-level modelling gives greater confidence in the...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher system is widely used in cryptographic applications. Substitution boxes (S-boxes) are keystone of modern symmetric cryptosystems. They bring nonlinearity to cryptosystems and strengthen their cryptographic security. The S-box component that used in classic AES is fixed. If we generate this S-box dynamically, the cryptographic strength of AES ciphe...
