Iceberg Hashing: Optimizing Many Hash-Table Criteria at Once by Bender, Michael, Conway, Alex, Farach-Colton, Martin, Kuszmaul, William, Tagliavini, Guido

“…In fact, in the setting where keys are $\Theta(\log n)$ bits, the space guarantees that Iceberg hashing offers, namely that is uses at most $\log \binom{|U|}{n} + O(n \log \log n)$ bits to store $n$ items from a universe $U$, matches a lower bound by Demaine et al. that applies to any stable hash table. …”

Research and simulation of timing attacks on ECC by Hui-hui JIA,Jian GU,Hao-hao SONG,Di TANG, Chao WANG

“…Based on the hidden Markov model (HMM) idea,a timing attack on the elliptic curve digital signature system,which adopted the “double-and-add” scalar multiplication,was proposed.Simulation experiments on the secure Koblitz curve which released by the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) were implemented and four secure Koblitz curves except the K-571 were attacked successfully.The experiment results show that the attack can recover almost all the key bits in a few minutes by collecting only once time data,and is easy to imple-ment at a high success rate.…”

A single-slope 80MS/s ADC using two-step time-to-digital conversion by Park, Min, Perrott, Michael H.

“…An 80 MS/s analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on single-slope conversion is presented which utilizes a recently developed gated ring oscillator (GRO) time-to-digital converter (TDC) to achieve an ENOB of 6.45 bits. To save power, the time-to-digital conversion is done in two steps, the first of which is based on coarse time quantization as measured by cycles of an oscillator and the second of which is based on fine time quantization by the GRO TDC. …”
