Fast link-establishment method of integrated of communication and detection based on short-wave digital channelization by Guojun LI, Cuiling XIANG, Changrong YE, Zunli WANG

“…A link-establishment method based on short-wave digital channelized receiver was proposed for the traditional automatic link establishment technology in short-wave communications with the low accuracy of frequency selection, low efficiency of link establishment, and low utilization of resources, etc.The parallel receiving mechanism for full frequency band in short-wave communications was realized by using digital channelization.An integrated waveform of communication and detection was designed to deal with the time redundancy and equipment compatibility problems caused by waveform switching during link establishment.A fast link-establishment method was designed, to achieve a fast and robust connection in complex electromagnetic environments.The results show that the channelized structure can enhance the receiving performance of the link-establishment system, the link-establishment method has obvious advantages, channel parameter estimation method has a high estimation accuracy compared to the traditional link-establishment method and the applicability of the proposed method in practical short-wave channel environment is verified.…”

Matrix computation over homomorphic plaintext-ciphertext and its application by Yang LIU, Linhan YANG, Jingwei CHEN, Wenyuan WU, Yong FENG

“…Those homomorphic encryption schemes supporting single instruction multiple data (SIMD) operations effectively enhance the amortized efficiency of ciphertext computations, yet the structure of ciphertexts leads to high complexity in matrix operations.In many applications, employing plaintext-ciphertext matrix operations can achieve privacy-preserving computing.Based on this, a plaintext-ciphertext matrix multiplication scheme for matrices of arbitrary dimension was proposed.The resulting ciphertext was computed through steps such as encoding the plaintext matrix, transforming the dimensions of the encrypted matrix, etc.Compared to the best-known encrypted matrix multiplication algorithm for square matrices proposed by Jiang et al., the proposed scheme supported matrix multiplication of arbitrary dimension, and consecutive matrix multiplications.Both theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme requires less rotations on ciphertexts and hence features higher efficiency.When applied to a privacy-preserving Bayesian classifier, the proposed scheme can complete classification tasks with higher security parameters and reduced running time.…”

Quantum cryptanalysis of lightweight block cipher Piccolo by Xiaoni DU, Xiangyu WANG, Lifang LIANG, Kaibin LI

“…By taking the characteristics of the structure of Piccolo algorithm RP permutation into consideration, a 3-round quantum distinguisher was proposed.Based on Grover meets Simon algorithm, the 6-round of quantum key recovery attack was given.The results show that the key can be recovered 56 bit with the time complexity 2 ²⁸ and the occupation of 464 qubit.Moreover, if attack rounds r＞6，the time complexity is 2 ^28+16(r-6), which is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <msup> <mn>2</mn> <mrow> <mn>68</mn></mrow> </msup> </mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> of Grover quantum brute-force search.The time complexity of the proposed attack method is significantly reduced compared with Grover search and is also better than that of traditional cryptanalysis, which lays a foundation for the subsequent research on quantum attacks of lightweight block ciphers.…”

Finite Element Simulation Analysis of Aqueduct by Auxiliary Pier Reinforcement by TANG Yang, LIN Jinxia, XIONG Yan

“…With an aqueduct as the engineering background,this paper establishes a finite element model of spatial entity by auxiliary pier reinforcement,analyzes the force of each construction stage before and after the aqueduct reinforcement with consideration to the material nonlinearity of concrete,and compares and analyzes the influence of different jacking forces on the reinforcement effect.Through calculation and analysis,the following conclusions can be drawn:①The structural stress, deformation and crack width of the aqueduct can be significantly reduced by auxiliary pier reinforcement method.②The reinforcement effect can be enhanced with a suitable jacking force during aqueduct reinforcement.③When the jacking force is gradually increased from zero,the vertical displacement of the aqueduct after reinforcement is reduced first and then increased,the maximum principal tensile stress of the aqueduct after jacking and reinforcement also shows a trend of decreasing first and then increasing.④The jacking force should not be too large.Otherwise,the upper edge of the aqueduct will easily crack at the mid-span position and its adjacent position.Comparative calculation and analysis of the jacking force is required before reinforcement construction.…”
