Primary audience. Ph.D. students and advanced M.S. students interested in stochastic processes. General Course Description. A basic course which introduces the topic of stochastic partial di¤erential equations (SPDEs) via some simple examples that are amenable to detailed calculations, focusing mainly on parabolic equations. The prerequisite for the course being only a graduate course in probab...

Cryptosystem designers frequently assume that secrets will be manipulated in closed, reliable computing environments. Unfortunately, actual computers and microchips leak information about the operations they process. This paper examines speci c methods for analyzing power consumption measurements to nd secret keys from tamper resistant devices. We also discuss approaches for building cryptosyst...

We propose a new technique called Di erential Cluster Analysis for side-channel key recovery attacks. This technique uses cluster analysis to detect internal collisions and it combines features from previously known collision attacks and Di erential Power Analysis. It captures more general leakage features and can be applied to algorithmic collisions as well as implementation speci c collisions...

We present hidden veri cation as a means to make the power of computational logic available to users of computer algebra systems while shielding them from its complexity. We have implemented in PVS a library of facts about elementary and transcendental functions, and automatic procedures to attempt proofs of continuity, convergence and di erentiability for functions in this class. These are cal...

A 2nd-order, L-stable Rosenbrock method from the eld of sti ordinary di erential equations is studied for application to atmospheric dispersion problems describing photochemistry, advective and turbulent di usive transport. Partial di erential equation problems of this type occur in the eld of air pollution modelling. The focal point of the paper is to examine the Rosenbrock method for reliable...

In this paper we solve problems of eigenvalues of stochastic Hamiltonian systems with boundary conditions and construct the corresponding eigenfunctions. This is a sort of forward–backward stochastic di erential equations (FBSDE) parameterized by ∈ R. The problem is to nd non-trivial solutions while the trivial solution 0 exists. We show that, as the classical cases, the phenomenon of statistic...

We analyze the security of the SEED block cipher against di erential attacks. SEED is a 16-round Feistel cipher developed by the Korea Information Security Agency. The SEED proposers estimated their cipher against di erential cryptanalysis in a self-estimation document and found a six-round di erential characteristic with probability 2 130 . We present an improved method of examining the di ere...

This report discusses a mathematical software package DKLAG5 which consists of a suite of FORTRAN subroutines for the numerical solution of systems of functional di erential equations with state dependent delays. The package implements continuously imbedded Runge{ Kutta methods which are based on C polynomial interpolants. These interpolants are exploited by the software to handle the necessary...

In this paper we deene a compositional semantics for a generalized composition operator on logic programs. Static and dynamic inheritance as well as composition by union of clauses can all be obtained by specializing the general operator. The semantics is based on the notion of diierential programs, logic programs annotated with declarations that establish the programs' external interfaces.
