Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) is a well known cryptanalytic technique that exploits faulty outputs of an encryption device. Despite its popularity and similarity with the classical (DA), thorough analysis explaining DFA from designer’s point-of-view missing in literature. To best our knowledge, no immune block cipher at algorithmic level has been proposed so far. Furthermore, all countermea...

Sulfate attack is a series of physico-chemical reactions between hardened cement paste and sulfate ions. Sulfate ion penetration into the hydrated cement results in the formation of voluminous and deleterious phases such as gypsum and ettringite which are believed to cause deterioration and expansion of concrete. Concrete deterioration due to sulfate attack depends on many parameters, however, ...

The World Wide Web encourages widely-distributed, open, decentralised systems that span multiple administrative domains. Recent research has turned to trust management [4] as a framework for decentralising security decisions in such systems. However, whilst traditional security measures such as cryptography and encryption are well-understood (theoretically and empirically), the same cannot be s...

Sybil attacks have been shown to be unpreventable except under the protection of a vigilant central authority. We use an economic analysis to show quantitatively that some applications and protocols are more robust against the attack than others. In our approach, for each distributed application and an attacker objective, there is a critical value that determines the costeffectiveness of the at...

The present paper contains the test results of a planing catamaran model. The aim of the tests was to study the effect of hydrofoil in these types of crafts. First, experiments were carried out on the bare body (i.e. without hydrofoils) to obtain non-dimensional hydrodynamic resistance coefficient versus speed. Then, the model with hydrofoils, by various locations and attack angles were subject...

Parasitoids are among the most important natural enemies of insects in many environments. Acyrthosiphon pisum, the pea aphid, is a common pest of the leguminous crops in temperate regions. Pea aphids are frequently attacked by a range of endoparasitic wasps, including the common aphidiine, Aphidius ervi. Immunity to parasitoid attack is thought to involve secondary symbiotic bacteria, the prese...
