Efficient and Composable Masked AES S-Box Designs Using Optimized Inverters by Vedad Hadžic, Roderick Bloem

“…The masking of the AES S-Box is well studied, and most implementations use Canright’s F28 inverter design that decomposes operations in a larger field into a combination of multiplications, additions and inversions in a smaller field. While remarkable, Canright’s inverter design has a sub-optimal multiplicative depth, and can thus not take full advantage of recent developments in low-latency composable masking schemes. …”

Hyperspectral Estimation of Chlorophyll Content in Ginseng Fruit Leaves Based on Wavelet Transform and VCPA-GA Algorithm by Guo Jinfeng, Zhang Zhicong, Umut Hasan, Zhou Zhongye, Xu Wenyu, Yusup Ahmat

“…This is because the wavelet transform process has some errors that increase with the number of decomposition layers. (2) The VCPA-GA hybrid variable selection algorithm merges the strengths of the VCPA and GA, addressing the tendency of the VCPA to select fewer variables and overcoming GA's limitations in handling many variables which can lead to overfitting, providing a theoretical basis for estimating ginseng fruit LCC using hyperspectral remote sensing. (3) Among the four machine-learning models, predictions from to 1-2 and 6-7 layers were generally lower than those of the 0 layer, while predictions from the 3–5 layers are higher, showing an overall trend of initial increase followed by a decrease as the number of wavelet decomposition layers increased. (4) Ginseng fruit leaf hyperspectral data processed by the DWT-VCPA-GA algorithm with a 4-layer DWT spectrum yielded the best predictive performance in the BP-AdaBoost regression model, with R2=0.919, mean absolute percentage error = 2.090%, and relative percentage difference = 3.900. (5) After optimizing the BPNN regression model with various algorithms, only some optimized models improved their predictive performance and accuracy to a certain extent, making the choice of the right optimization algorithm crucial for model improvement.…”
