Post Quantum Cryptographic Keys Generated with Physical Unclonable Functions by Bertrand Cambou, Michael Gowanlock, Bahattin Yildiz, Dina Ghanaimiandoab, Kaitlyn Lee, Stefan Nelson, Christopher Philabaum, Alyssa Stenberg, Jordan Wright

“…Handshakes between client devices containing the physical unclonable functions (PUFs) and a server are used to select sets of addressable positions in the PUFs, from which streams of bits called seeds are generated on demand. The public and private cryptographic key pairs are computed from these seeds together with additional streams of random numbers. …”

Edge-assisted quantum protocol for secure multiparty logical AND its applications by Run-hua Shi, Xia-qin Fang

“…In this paper, we present a feasible quantum solution to an important primitive of secure multiparty computations, i.e., Secure Multiparty Logical AND (SMLA), in which n participants can securely compute logical AND of n private bits. In order to ensure perfect security and achieve good feasibility, we introduce a semi-honest edge server and two non-collusive fog nodes, and design a secure and feasible edge-assisted quantum protocol for SMLA, which cleverly utilizes Secure Multiparty XOR to implement SMLA group by group. …”

EXPRESS: Exploiting Energy–Accuracy Tradeoffs in 3D NAND Flash Memory for Energy-Efficient Storage by Md Raquibuzzaman, Aleksandar Milenkovic, Biswajit Ray

“…The density and cost-effectiveness of flash memory chips continue to increase, driven by: (a) The continuous physical scaling of memory cells in a single layer; (b) The vertical stacking of multiple layers; and (c) Logical scaling through storing multiple bits of information in a single memory cell. The physical properties of flash memories impose disproportionate latency and energy expenditures to ensure the high integrity of the data during flash memory writes. …”

A Soft-Error-Tolerant SAR ADC with Dual-Capacitor Sample-and-Hold Control for Sensor Systems by Duckhoon Ro, Minseong Um, Hyung-Min Lee

“…The measured analog signal is converted into digital bits through the sensor readout system. However, in extreme radiation environments, such as in space, during flights, and in nuclear fusion reactors, the performance of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) constituting the sensor readout system can be degraded due to soft errors caused by radiation effects, leading to system malfunction. …”
