Novel direct sequence spread spectrum communication method by Fanglin GU, Jinlin PENG, Yuzhen HUANG, Shengqun CAO, Haitao ZHAO, Jibo WEI

“…In response to the problem of limited performance and low spectral efficiency in complex multipath environments of traditional direct sequence spread spectrum communication, a cyclic prefix (CP) block transmission structure spread spectrum system with a time-frequency hybrid direct sequence spread spectrum receiver structure was proposed.The system adopted maximum ratio combination (MRC) in the frequency domain to achieve equalization and de-spreading processes simultaneously, while achieving optimal reception performance and omitting the IFFT process to reduce computational complexity significantly.On this basis, it was proposed to replace the m-sequence with the constant amplitude zero auto correlation (CAZAC) sequence as the spread spectrum sequence, which significantly improved the system performance without increasing computational complexity.Finally, a high-speed spread spectrum communication method based on cyclic code shift keying (CCSK) was proposed to solve the problems of low spectrum utilization efficiency and limited transmission rate in traditional direct sequence spread spectrum.By utilizing the property of Fourier transform time-domain cyclic shift, a low implementation complexity CCSK decoding method was designed, which reduced the multiplication number required for CCSK de-spreading by O(N²) reduced to O (Nlog N), greatly reducing resource consume.The simulation results show that compared to existing direct sequence spread spectrum methods, the proposed method achieves approximately 3 dB gain in both Gaussian and complex multipath channel environments.…”

Constructing method of opaque predicate based on type conversion and operation of floating point numbers by Qingfeng WANG, Hao LIANG, Yawen WANG, Genlin XIE, Benwei HE

“…With the increasing complexity of software functions and the evolving technologies of network attacks, malicious behaviors such as software piracy, software cracking, data leakage, and malicious software modification are on the rise.As a result, software security has become a focal point in industry research.Code obfuscation is a common software protection technique used to hinder reverse engineering.It aims to make program analyzing and understanding more difficult for attackers while preserving the original program functionality.However, many existing code obfuscation techniques suffer from performance loss and poor concealment in pursuit of obfuscation effectiveness.Control flow obfuscation, particularly opaque predicate obfuscation, is widely used to increase the difficulty of code reverse engineering by disrupting the program’s control flow.A method was proposed to address the limitations of existing code obfuscation techniques.It utilized the phenomenon of precision loss that occurred during type conversion and floating-point number operations in computers.Under certain conditions, this method produced operation results that contradict common sense.By performing forced type conversion, addition, and multiplication with selected decimal numbers, a series of opaque predicates can be constructed based on the statistical analysis of their operation results.This approach achieved code obfuscation with high concealment, good generality, reversibility, and low overhead compared to traditional opaque predicates.Experimental verification demonstrates that this method significantly slows down attackers’ reverse engineering efforts and exhibits good resistance to dynamic analysis techniques such as symbolic execution.…”

Human, too human? Experience, Learning, Interaction with AI by Eleonora Sparano

“…The importance of the contribution lies in emphasising the need to keep the two components, the artificial and the human, separate to foster an interactional and communicational exchange destined to become increasingly frequent in the future, as is already the case in most social contexts. The multiplication of the spheres of interaction between humans and AI embodied in social robots makes it possible to consolidate a partnership with interesting developments from an epistemological point of view and with possible applications in which two intelligences of different natures, organic and inorganic, can for the first time work together to produce knowledge. …”
