Mapping Geoelectric Field Hazards in Ireland by John Malone‐Leigh, Joan Campanyà, Peter T. Gallagher, Jim Hodgson, Colin Hogg

“…Abstract Geoelectric fields are generated at the Earth's surface and can lead to the induction of hazardous geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in infrastructure like power grids, railways and pipelines during geomagnetic storms. Magnitude and orientation of the geoelectric fields, in relation to the infrastructure, are key features needed to determine the intensity of GIC. …”

A Low-Overhead and High-Security Scan Design Based on Scan Obfuscation by Weizheng Wang, Xingxing Gong, Shuo Cai, Jiamin Liu, Xiangqi Wang

“…Simulation results and theoretical analysis show that the scheme effectively thwarts scan-based attacks while maintaining minimal area overhead and high testability. In the case of a pipelined AES circuit, with a total test key and obfuscation key length of 128, the area overhead is as low as 0.07%, and the probability of a successful brute-force attack is only <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2.9\times 10 ^{-39}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>.…”

Data traceability mechanism based on consortium chain by Shoucai ZHAO, Lifeng CAO, Xuehui DU

“…With the unprecedented growth in the speed of data generation and circulation in the era of big data, the emergence of blockchain technology provides a new solution for data authenticity verification.However, with the increasing demand for data flow between different blockchains, new security issues arise.Cross-chain data transmission can lead to data leakage, and detecting data leakage caused by illegal access becomes challenging.To address these problems, a data traceability mechanism based on a consortium chain was proposed.A cross-blockchain data traceability model was designed, incorporating private data pipelines to ensure the security of cross-chain data transmission.User behaviors were recorded through authorization and access logs, ensuring the traceability of illegal unauthorized access.To improve the efficiency of data traceability and query, an on-chain and off-chain synchronous storage mechanism was adopted.The state of data flow before each transaction was encrypted and stored in the database, and its index was stored in the blockchain transaction.This enables a one-to-one correspondence between on-chain and off-chain data.Additionally, Merkle trees were introduced into the block body to store block summaries, enhancing the efficiency of block legitimacy verification.Based on the data storage form and cross-chain data interaction mechanism, a data traceability algorithm was designed.The traceability results were displayed in the form of an ordered tree.An experimental environment for consortium chain traceability was built using fabric, targeting the cross-domain data traceability scenario in the e-commerce industry.The GO language was used to simulate and test the data traceability performance with a large number of blocks and transactions.The results demonstrate that with the increasing number of blocks and transactions, the proposed data traceability mechanism maintains satisfactory performance.…”
