We present a high-speed public-key cryptoprocessor that exploits three-level parallelism in Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over GF(2n). The proposed cryptoprocessor employs a Parallelized Modular Arithmetic Logic Unit (P-MALU) that exploits two types of different parallelism for accelerating modular operations. The sequence of scalar multiplications is also accelerated by exploiting Instruct...

Estimation problems for linear time-invariant systems with noisy input and output are considered. The smoothing problem is a least norm problem. An efficient algorithm using a Riccati-type recursion is derived. The equivalence between the optimal filter and an appropriately modified Kalman filter is established. The optimal estimate of the input signal is derived from the optimal state estimate...

The Cosic Resonance Recognition Model (RRM) for amino acid sequences was applied to the classes of proteins displayed by four strains (Sudan, Zaire, Reston, Ivory Coast) of Ebola virus that produced either high or minimal numbers of human fatalities. The results clearly differentiated highly lethal and non-lethal strains. Solutions for the two lethal strains exhibited near ultraviolet (~230 nm)...

This chapter describes a continuing research on design and verification of the autopilot system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. UAVs have the characteristics of small volume, light weight, low cost in manufacture, high agility and high maneuverability without the restriction of human body physical loading. Equipped with the on-board autopilot ...

Contrails and especially their evolution into cirruslike clouds are thought to have very important effects on local and global radiation budgets, though are generally not well represented in global climate models. Lack of contrail parameterisations is due to the limited availability of in situ contrail measurements which are difficult to obtain. Here we present a methodology for successful samp...

With the constant news of data breaches and global (governmental) surveillance, endusers are becoming more and more reluctant to share sensitive data. As a result trust of end-users is an essential business enabler. For the end-user, sharing data with companies is often a prerequisite for using their services. Moreover, for certain services, e.g., governmental and healthcare services, end-users...

Stressful events promote activation of the sympathetic nervous system which causes measurable physiological changes in the body. Visual and auditory inputs often aid in this “fight or flight” stress response if potential harm is detected. In this study, seemingly stressful visual or auditory stimuli were presented to participants. The physiological stress response was assessed by measuring hear...
