A finer-grain analysis of the leakage (non) resilience of OCB by Berti, Francesco, Bhasin, Shivam, Breier, Jakub, Hou, Xiaolu, Poussier, Romain, Standaert, François-Xavier, Udvarhelyi, Balasz

“…We start from trivial key recoveries in settings where the mode can be attacked with standard Differential Power Analysis (DPA) against some block cipher calls in its execution (namely, initialization, processing of associated data or last incomplete block and decryption). These attacks imply that at least these parts must be strongly protected thanks to countermeasures like masking. …”

Prehistoric foragers and farmers in South-east Asia: Renewed investigations at Niah Cave, Sarawak by Barker, G, Barton, H, Beavitt, P, Bird, M, Daly, P, Doherty, C, Gilbertson, D, Hunt, C, Krigbaum, J, Lewis, H, Manser, J, McClaren, S, Paz, V, Piper, P, Pyatt, B, Rabett, R, Reynolds, T, Rose, J, Rushworth, G, Stephens, M

“…The critical importance of the Niah stratigraphies was commonly identified – including by Tom Harrisson himself – as because the site provided a continuous sequence of occupation over the past 40,000 years. The present project indicates that Niah was first used at least 45,000 years ago, and probably earlier; that the subsequent Pleistocene and Holocene occupations were highly variable in intensity and character; and that in some periods, perhaps of significant duration, the caves may have been more or less abandoned. …”

Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…Our frame-correlation transfers dramatically speed up the attack generation compared to existing methods, often significantly reducing the required computation time; thus, shedding light on the real threat of real-time attacks in RL. Last but not the least, to alleviate the vulnerability issue of DRL, in Chapter \ref{chapter:A2PD}, we propose an adversary agnostic defense approach in order to increase the robustness of existed DRL policies. …”
