AES-CBC Software Execution Optimization
With the proliferation of high-speed wireless networking, the necessity for
efficient, robust and secure encryption modes is ever increasing. But,
cryptography is primarily a computationally intensive process. This paper
investigates the performance and efficiency of IEEE 802.11i approved Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES)-Rijndael ciphering/deciphering software in Cipher
Block Chaining (CBC) mode. Simulations are used to analyse the speed, resource
consumption and robustness of AES-CBC to investigate its viability for image
encryption usage on common low power devices. The detailed results presented in
this paper provide a basis for performance estimation of AES cryptosystems
implemented on wireless devices. The use of optimized AES-CBC software
implementation gives a superior encryption speed performance by 12 - 30%, but
at the cost of twice more memory for code size.Comment: 8 pages, IEEE 200
Emotions in context: examining pervasive affective sensing systems, applications, and analyses
Pervasive sensing has opened up new opportunities for measuring our feelings and understanding our behavior by monitoring our affective states while mobile. This review paper surveys pervasive affect sensing by examining and considering three major elements of affective pervasive systems, namely; âsensingâ, âanalysisâ, and âapplicationâ. Sensing investigates the different sensing modalities that are used in existing real-time affective applications, Analysis explores different approaches to emotion recognition and visualization based on different types of collected data, and Application investigates different leading areas of affective applications. For each of the three aspects, the paper includes an extensive survey of the literature and finally outlines some of challenges and future research opportunities of affective sensing in the context of pervasive computing
