High speed national secret SM4 optical fiber communication system scheme based on FPGA by Peiyu HUANG, Jiabo SONG, Yangfan JIA

“…With the increasing use of optical fiber communication technology in the Industrial Internet of Things, cryptographic algorithms play a crucial role in ensuring the security of data transmission in embedded device environments.The SM4 packet cipher algorithm, developed independently in our country, is widely applied to wireless LAN and Internet of Things data encryption.However, the software-based encryption and decryption processes are relatively slow, which hampers their application in scenarios requiring high real-time performance, especially for embedded devices.To address this issue, a high-performance and secure optical fiber communication system was designed based on the FPGA platform and the SM4 algorithm.The FPGA was used to implement the MAC layer interface for SM4 algorithm encryption and decryption, as well as data transmission.Besides, an optimization scheme for the hardware implementation architecture of the SM4 algorithm was proposed.The critical path was shortened by employing a pipeline method, thereby improving the system clock frequency.Additionally, parallel processing of S-box transformation was accelerated to enable efficient data replacement.To reduce data reading delays, a dual-cache processing method was combined to facilitate easier processing of cache data and significantly reduce packet loss rates.This scheme greatly enhanced system data throughput.Experimental results demonstrate that compared to similar designs, the throughput of the SM4 algorithm encryption and decryption module in this scheme reaches up to 25.6 Gbit/s, with minimal differences in resource consumption.Due to limitations imposed by the 10-gigabit SFP+ optical module, the throughput of the entire optical fiber communication system reaches 9.4 Gbit/s.For 128-bit data, the average encryption speed is 0.47 μs/bit and the average decryption speed is 0.28 μs/bit, which can be applied to a variety of secure communication scenarios in the internet of things.…”

Genetic diversity of the earthworm Eisenia nordenskioldi (Lumbricidae, Annelida) by S. V. Shekhovtsov, D. I. Berman, E. V. Golovanova, S. E. Peltek

“…Subspecies E. n. nordenskioldi and E. n. pallida are most probably non-monophyletic, and the pigmentation character is labile and possibly independently evolved in different lineages. We also propose hypotheses on the interplay of its observed genetic diversity with morphological and ecological variation, as well as on the relationships of E. nordenskioldi with certain species of the genus Eisenia. …”

Parenting styles and externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers: mediation through self-control abilities and emotional management skills by Zhang WenLi, Xu Tiemei, Li Shuangqi, Yu Qun, Zhu Jingbo, Sun Sijie

“…Here, teachers and parents of 799 preschoolers from China were surveyed.ResultsThe findings of this investigation are 3-fold: (1) a significant association exists between the parenting styles adopted by parents and externalizing problem behaviors observed among preschoolers; (2) self-control abilities and emotional management skills independently mediate the associations between parenting styles and children's externalizing problem behaviors, highlighting their roles as mediators; and (3) sequential mediation of self-control abilities and emotional management skills elucidates a pathway through which parenting styles impact preschoolers' externalizing problem behaviors.DiscussionThis study clarified the relationship between parenting styles, externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers, self-control abilities, and emotional management skills to provide a theoretical basis for solving the externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers.…”
