The Learning Parity with Noise problem (LPN) is appealing in cryptography as it is considered to remain hard in the post-quantum world. It is also a good candidate for lightweight devices due to its simplicity. In this paper we provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing LPN solving algorithms, both for the general case and for the sparse secret scenario. In practice, the LPN-based cryptog...

In this work, the algorithm and computer code, named DETO, used to calculate detonation wave parameters (i.e., velocity of pressure) aluminized explosives, based on chemical equilibrium theory products, hydrodynamic process, Becker - Kistiakowsky Wilson (BKW) equation state. The aluminum (Al) content reacting with products wavefront can be changed according user's assumptions. Compared experime...

One of the most attractive problems for post-quantum secure cryptographic schemes is the LWE problem. Beside combinatorial and algebraic attacks, LWE can be solved by a lattice-based Bounded Distance Decoding (BDD) approach. We provide the first parallel implementation of an enumeration-based BDD algorithm that employs the Lindner-Peikert and Linear Length pruning strategies. We ran our algorit...

We present novel variants of the dual-lattice attack against LWE in the presence of an unusually short secret. These variants are informed by recent progress in BKW-style algorithms for solving LWE. Applying them to parameter sets suggested by the homomorphic encryption libraries HElib and SEAL v2.0 yields revised security estimates. Our techniques scale the exponent of the dual-lattice attack ...

The LPN problem, lying at the core of many cryptographic constructions for lightweight and post-quantum cryptography, receives quite a lot attention recently. The best published algorithm for solving it at Asiacrypt 2014 improved the classical BKW algorithm by using covering codes, which claimed to marginally compromise the 80-bit security of HB variants, LPN-C and Lapin. In this paper, we deve...

The heat of explosion is one of the most important thermodynamic parameters of aluminized explosives. Two improvements in numerical calculations to predict the behaviour of the explosion of non-ideal aluminized explosives were completed in this work. The chemical reaction between aluminum and the C-J detonation products of high energy ingredients was determined and the equation of state for the...

A simplified method is shown, based on a semi-empirical procedure, to estimate the detonation velocities of CHNO explosives at various loading densities. It is assumed that the product composition consists almost of CO, CO2, H2O and N2 for oxygen-rich explosives. In addition solid carbon and H2 are also counted for an oxygen-lean explosive. The approximate detonation temperature, as a second ne...

The effect of replacing hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7tetrazocine (HMX) in HTPB-binder on the performance, sensitivity, thermal, and mechanical properties of the sheet explosive formulation has been studied. The maximum loading of HMX was achieved up to 78 per cent in HTPB-binder system. The velocity of detonation (VOD) of HMX-based sheet e...
