Post-quantum attacks against symmetric-key cryptography systems by Pham, Thi Minh Phuong

“…Next, building upon the observation that multi-collision attacks can be trans- formed into collision attacks, we adapted our automated tools to facilitate collision attacks. By incorporating the rebound techniques and the degree of freedom from keys and states to our model, we achieved significant advancements in the number of attacked rounds, ranging from one to five, in various target systems such as AES-128, Saturnin hashing mode, Grøstl-512, and SKINNY-hash. …”

Dependency, privilege, and counter-insurgency: a case study of the industrial elite of Hebron in the occupied West Bank by Arafeh, N

“…Third, through a critical examination of U.S.-led Trade Facilitation Programmes (TFPs), I examine the role of the U.S. in reinforcing capital concentration in Hebron, by distributing privileges to certain actors, while reinforcing dependency relations with Israel. …”

Content learning in Japanese and English medium instruction: comparing chemistry learning outcomes in Japanese higher education by Aizawa, I

“…Meanwhile, a range of factors also emerged as crucial facilitators for success in EMI, such as previous exposure to EMI education, motivation, revision and preparation, and learning strategies. …”

Two-phase immersion cooling for power dense printed circuit board converters by Ristic-Smith, A

“…The system could theoretically sustain power dissipation of 30W/(L K), which is competitive with the best performing systems in previous literature. The design facilitates integration of semiconductor switches, decoupling capacitors and gate drivers in close proximity on a single printed circuit board. …”
