Implementing hash functions to run on multi-core computers will reduce its running time. We aim to implement Cayley, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash functions to run on multicore computers and compare their performances. Cayley hash compresses the input message by hashing one bit at a time using composition of linear equations. SHA-256 and SHA-512 work on message blocks and produce fixed length digest...

Introduction:In this study, ECG signals have been embedded into medical images to create a novel blind watermarking method. The embedding is done when the original image is compressed using the EZW algorithm. The extraction process is performed at the decompression time of the watermarked image. Materials and Methods: The multi-resolution watermarking with a secret key algorithm developed in th...

To examine the structural basis of the intrinsic fluorescence changes that occur during the MgATPase cycle of myosin, we generated three mutants of smooth muscle myosin motor domain essential light chain (MDE) containing a single conserved tryptophan residue located at Trp-441 (W441-MDE), Trp-512 (W512-MDE), or Trp-597 (W597-MDE). Although W441- and W597-MDE were insensitive to nucleotide bindi...

The main contribution of this paper is a new iterated secretkey block cipher called 3D, inspired by the AES cipher. The 3D cipher has an SPN design, operates on 512-bit blocks, uses 512-bit keys, iterates 22 rounds, and employs a 3-dimensional state, instead of the 2dimensional matrix of the AES. The main innovation of 3D includes the multi-dimensional state, generalizing the design of Rijndael...
