Impossible differential distinguisher analysis of GRANULE and MANTRA algorithm by Xiaonian WU, Yingxin LI, Yongzhuang WEI, Yaping SUN

“…The lightweight block cipher algorithms called GRANULE and MANTRA have a simple structure,fast encryption speed,and they can be easy implemented in software and hardware.Two algorithms are especially suitable for resource-constrained environments.To analyze the security of two algorithms,an automatic search method of impossible differential distinguishers was proposed.Based on the structural characteristics of the GRANALE and MANTRA,the S-box differential characteristics were obtained by analyzing the S-box differential distribution table,and then the idea of intermediate encounter was used to traverse from the difference path obtained from the encryption/decryption direction seperately to select the optimal differential path with probability 0.The analysis results show that there are 144 different 7-round impossible differential distinguishers in the GRANULE,and 52 different 9-round impossible differential distinguishers in the MANTRA.Compared with the existing results,the rounds of the proposed distinguisher is currently the highest.…”

Multi-scale guided filtering integrated with superpixel and patch shift by Jianwu LONG, Jiangzhou ZHU

“…In order to avoid the phenomenon that edges were easily blurred during filtering, a multi-scale guided filtering integrated with superpixel and patch shift was proposed.Firstly, the bilateral filtering was applied to an input image to get more accurate superpixel regions.Then, the overlapping was used as the final filtering region, which was formed by the local window and the superpixel.The local window was selected by a metric function so that it did not contain edge information as much as possible.Finally, a small-scale window was used to preserve the edges, and then the window scale was increased for iterative guided filtering.The final filtering output was calculated by fusing the results of different window scales to smooth details while preserving the structural edges.Additionally, the evaluation index of filtering results quality was proposed and compared in different algorithms.The proposed algorithm has stronger edge preservation ability and can obtain better filtering effectiveness than other algorithms.…”

Abnormal event detection based on local topology and l_1/2norm regularize by Qing YU, Ken CHEN, Meng LI, Fei LI

“…A new dictionary learning method was proposed by introducing a local topology term to describe structural information of video events and using the l_1/2norm as the sparsity constraint to the representation coefficients based on the traditional analysis dictionary learning method.In feature extraction,a histogram of interaction force(HOIF) containing rich motion information and a histogram of oriented gradient(HOG) containing texture information were merged.Then,the improved dictionary was used to train the feature data.Finally,the reconstruction error of the testing sample under the dictionary was used to determine whether the testing sample was an abnormal sample.Experiments on UMN show the high performance of the algorithm.Compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms,the analysis dictionary classification algorithm based on local topology and l_1/2norm has made more effective detection on the abnormal events in the crowd.…”
