Effective Feature Extraction Method for SVM-Based Profiled Attacks

Nowadays, one of the most powerful side channel attacks (SCA) is profiled attack. Machine learning algorithms, for example support vector machine, are currently used for improving the effectiveness of the attack. One issue when using SVM-based profiled attack is extracting points of interest, or features from power traces. So far, studies in SCA domain have selected the points of interest (POIs) from the raw power trace for the classifiers. Our work proposes a novel method for finding POIs that based on the combining variational mode decomposition (VMD) and Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization (GSO). That is, VMD is used to decompose the power traces into sub-signals (modes) of different frequencies and POIs selection process based on GSO is conducted on these sub-signals. As a result, the selected POIs are used for SVM classifier to conduct profiled attack. This attack method outperforms other profiled attacks in the same attack scenario. Experiments were performed on a trace data set collected from the Atmega8515 smart card run on the side channel evaluation board Sakura-G/W and the data set of DPA contest v4 to verify the effectiveness of our method in reducing number of power traces for the attacks, especially with noisy power traces

A Multi-Constraints Routing Scheme for MANET-assisted IoT in Smart Cities

The fifth-generation mobile network (5G) provides extreme throughput and extremely low latency, which enables the Internet of Things (IoT) era and a series of smart IoT ecosystems. The widespread equipping of Device-to-Device (D2D) modules for vehiculars allows transmitting directly between devices without relying on central devices such as access points or base stations. This is the foundation for the shaping of mobile ad hoc communications, so-called MANETs. The combination of MANETs and IoT technology has led to the development of MANET-assisted IoT applications, which offer unprecedented capabilities. However, due to the mobility of network nodes, routing is one of the main challenges in these networks. To address this problem, we propose a multi-constraints routing schema to enhance the performance of MANET-assisted IoT systems. Our simulation experiments show that the proposed solution significantly outperforms traditional routing solutions in terms of performance such as latency, packet delivery ratio, and throughput

Atomistic simulation of the uniaxial compression of black phosphorene nanotubes

We study through molecular dynamics finite element method with Stillinger-Weber potential the uniaxial compression of (0, 24) armchair and (31, 0) zigzag black phosphorene nanotubes with approximately equal diameters. Young's modulus, critical stress and critical strain are estimated with various tube lengths. It is found that under uniaxial compression the (0, 24) armchair black phosphorene nanotube buckles, whereas the failure of the (31, 0) zigzag one is caused by local bond breaking near the boundary

Management and monitoring of air and water pollution by using GIS technology: Research article

The need for a green clean living environment is increasing today, with the boom of the socioeconomic development, educational level. However, the environmental pollution becomes an alerted global issue due to the large amount of wastes discharged making this need to be not easily met at the moment. Greenhouse gas emission mainly from energy, transport and agricultural land use is causing climate change because of their long atmospheric lifetime and trapping the heat in the atmosphere. Harmful effects and damages caused by environment pollution and climate change are unpredictable. It was reported that every year millions of people die because of fine particles when exposing to air pollution and other millions die from water-born diseases. Management and monitoring of air and water pollution by using GIS technology is an effective method. The measured data can be obtained continuously, quickly and accurately at stations in any regions even with complex terrain. This helps reduce the required number of employees, manage automatically and continuously a large number of data.Ngày nay nhu cầu về một môi trường sống xanh, sạch đang gia tăng, với sự bùng nổ của phát triển kinh tế - xã hội và trình độ dân trí. Tuy nhiên, ô nhiễm môi trường đang trở thành một vấn đề cảnh báo toàn cầu do số lượng lớn các chất thải được xả ra môi trường làm cho nhu cầu này không dễ dàng được đáp ứng tại thời điểm này. Phát thải khí nhà kính chủ yếu là từ sử dụng năng lượng, giao thông vận tải và đất nông nghiệp đang gây ra biến đổi khí hậu vì thời gian tồn tại của cúng dài và giữ nhiệt trong khí quyển. Các ảnh hưởng xấu và thiệt hại gây ra bởi ô nhiễm môi trường và biến đổi khí hậu là không thể đoán trước. Thông tin báo cáo chỉ ra rằng mỗi năm có hàng triệu người chết vì hít các hạt bụi mịn khi tiếp xúc với ô nhiễm không khí; và hàng triệu người khác chết vì bệnh do nước sinh ra. Quản lý và giám sát ô nhiễm không khí và nước bằng cách sử dụng công nghệ GIS là một phương pháp hiệu quả. Các dữ liệu đo có thể được lấy liên tục, nhanh chóng và chính xác tại các trạm ở bất kể khu vực nào, ngay cả nơi có địa hình phức tạp. Điều này giúp làm giảm số lượng lao động cần thiết, quản lý tự động và liên tục một số lượng lớn dữ liệu

Overall viscoelastic properties of 2D and two-phase periodic composites constituted of elliptical and rectangular heterogeneities

International audienceThis paper presents analytical solutions for the effective rheological viscoelastic properties of 2D periodic structures. The solutions, based on Fourier series analysis, are derived first in the Laplace-Carson (LC) space for different inclusion shapes (rectangle or ellipse) and arrangements. The effective results are obtained in the form of rational functions of the LC transform variable. Two inversion methods are used to find the relaxation behavior. The first one is based on the exact inverse of the LC transform while the second approximates the overall behavior by using a Standard Linear Solid model, which yields very simple analytical formulas for the coefficients entering the constitutive equations. Results of the two methods are compared in the case of an application to real materials

Atomistic simulation of the uniaxial tension of black phosphorene nanotubes

In the present work, the uniaxial tensile tests of 3 pairs black phosphorene nanotubes are simulated by molecular dynamics finite element method with Stillinger-Weber potential. Each pair contains an armchair black phosphorene nanotube and a zigzag one, which have approximately equal diameters. Three armchair black phosphorene nanotubes, namely (0, 15), (0, 19) and (0, 21); and three zigzag black phosphorene nanotubes, namely (20, 0), (26, 0) and (28, 0), are considered. We found that the Young's modulus of these tubes increases when their diameter increases. Their fracture stress and fracture strain are also investigated

Facile synthesis of 3D Fe2O3 nanostructures: sponge-like cube shape and bird nest-like architecture

The hierarchical nanostructures (3D) with their large specific surface area and abundant pores usually possess unique physical and chemical properties for various important applications. In this report, we have introduced simple and scalable routes to successfully synthesize 3D iron oxide nanostructures, including porous cubes and bird nest-like architecture. The 3D sponge-like Fe2O3 nanocubes were formed by an annealing process of perfect Prussian Blue (PB) microcubes, which were built from small nanoparticles linked together. Whereas, the 3D bird nest-like Fe2O3 nanostructures were formed by the transformation of C@FeOOH nanoflower precursors, which were constructed by primary nanorods. The results indicated that the obtained materials show monodispersity, uniform morphology, ultra-porosity and extremely high specific surface area. With unique characteristics, the 3D Fe2O3 nanostructures could be potential candidates for various important fields such as catalysts, absorption and gas sensors
