In this paper, we present a new reset tree-based scheme to protect cryptographic hardware against optical fault injection attacks. As one of the most powerful invasive attacks on cryptographic hardware, optical fault attacks cause semiconductors to misbehave by injecting high-energy light into a decapped integrated circuit. The contaminated result from the affected chip is then used to reveal s...

Software fault tree analysis (SFTA) [1] is widely used for analyzing software requiring high-reliability. In SFTA, experts predict failures of system through HAZOP (Hazard and Operability study) or FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and draw software fault trees about the failures. Quality and cost of the software fault tree, therefore, depend on knowledge and experience of the experts. T...

In this work, we propose D-Tree, a dynamic distributed deterministic structure for data management in decentralized networks. We present in brief the theoretical algorithmic analysis, in which our proposed structure is based on, and we describe thoroughly the key aspects of the implementation. Conducting experiments, we verify that the implemented structure outperforms other well-known hierarch...

With the rapid development of natural gas pipeline, the safety of natural gas pipeline is paid more and more attention to. This paper presents a new safety assessment model based on fault tree and fuzzy neural network. Firstly, in the light of fault tree theory, fault tree analytical figure is established for buried natural gas pipeline system and the index system is established about buried na...

Wire rope is a very useful and long lasting structural element when properly used and maintained. For a failure such as that of crane wire rope, it is often very difficult to estimate precise failure rates or failure probabilities of individual components or failure events. Conventional fault tree analysis (FTA) is based on the probability assumption. When the failure probability of a system is...

Several recent advances in fault tree models have been developed as an aid in the analysis of computer systems, and these have appeared in the RAMS symposium in the past several years. Such advances include the ability to model sequence dependencies [8, 6], the application of fault trees to the analysis of hardwareand softwarefault tolerant systems [11], the ability to include details of the re...

Safety is an essential requirement for railway transportation. There are many methods that have been developed to predict, prevent and mitigate accidents in this context. All of these methods have their own purpose and limitations. This paper presents a new useful analysis technique: timed fault tree analysis. This method extends traditional fault tree analysis with temporal events and fault ch...

Fuzzy theory and Bayesian network theory were based on the fault tree. The fault tree analysis method improved the fault analysis to obtain number of event's exact problem. Considering the characteristics of the fuzzy risk analysis at the same time, it also solved the problem of scale fault analysis modeling. The theory is applied to the cost of construction shield tunnel risk analysis, floatin...

In order to realize the intelligent diagnosis of the electric pump and the motor working condition during the operation period of the electric pump well, an expert system based on fault tree and rete algorithm is realized. Through the analysis on the fault characteristics of the electric pump well, established the fault tree and knowledge base that support electric pump and motor working condit...

Software Fault Tree Analysis (SFTA) provides a structured way to reason about the safety or reliability of a software system. As such, SFTA is widely used in missioncritical applications to investigate contributing causes to possible hazards or failures. In this paper we propose an approach similar to SFTA for product families. The contribution of the paper is to define a top-down, treebased an...
