A New Automatic Tool Searching for Impossible Differential of NIST Candidate <i>ACE</i> by Jingyi Liu, Guoqiang Liu, Longjiang Qu

“…Based on the method of characteristic matrix, we build an automatic searching algorithm that can be used to search for structural impossible differentials and give the optimal permutation for <i>ACE</i> permutation and other SPN ciphers. We prove that there is no impossible differential of <i>ACE</i> permutation longer than 9 steps and construct two 8-step impossible differentials. …”

A Novel Message-Preserving Scheme with Format-Preserving Encryption for Connected Cars in Multi-Access Edge Computing by Insu Oh, Taeeun Kim, Kangbin Yim, Sun-Young Lee

“…Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method for encrypting the data frame, including real data in the CAN message structure, using format-preserving encryption (FPE), which ensures that the plaintext and ciphertext have the same format and length. In this way, block ciphers such as AES-128 must be divided into two or three blocks, but FPE can be processed simultaneously by encrypting them according to the CAN message format, thus providing better security against denial-of-service attacks. …”

O fracasso da metafísica Uma exegese de algumas passagens da Psicologia das Visões de Mundo de Karl Jaspers by Gerson Brea

“…And in his last lecture, Jaspers takes up the theme again, discussing the ideas of “ciphers”, “transcendence”, “being in failure”. However, already in 1919, in his book Psychology of World Views, the concept of metaphysics appears in crucial moments. …”

Timestamp Estimation in P802.15.4z Amendment by Ioan Domuta, Tudor Petru Palade, Emanuel Puschita, Andra Pastrav

“…This paper analyses the key parts of PHY which have a great contribution in timestamp estimation precision, particularly: UWB pulse, channel sounding and timestamp estimation using ciphered sequence and frequency selective fading. Unlike EiR, where the UWB pulse is defined in the time domain, in this article, the UWB pulse is synthesized from the power spectral density mask, and it is shown that the use of the entire allocated spectrum results in a decrease in risetime, an increase in pulse amplitude, and an attenuation of lateral lobes. …”

Art for the Apocalypse: Sculpture by Frink in Losey’s The Damned by Susan Felleman

“…Freya Neilson (Viveca Lindfors) was conceived expressly to employ the work of sculptor Elisabeth Frink (1930-1993), whose scarred, distressed figural works of the period included anthropomorphic birds, winged men, fallen men, horse heads and other morbid ciphers of existential dread. In the film these works of plaster and bronze embody the age of anxiety even as they represent art as a redemptive alternative to the cold-bloodedness of both lowbrow Teddy Boy (Oliver Reed) and highbrow Government scientist (Alexander Knox). …”
