Construction method of type-Ⅱ even-length Z-complementary pair with large zero correlation zone width by Xiaoyu CHEN, Lianfeng SUN, Yihan ZHANG

“…The construction method of Type-Ⅱ even-length Z-complementary pair (ZCP) was proposed by using the inter-leaving technique.The basic framework of interleaving structure with Golay complementary pair (GCP) and its mate as the basic sequences was proposed.Furthermore, the necessary conditions were given for the framework in order that the resulting ZCP could have large zero correlation zone (ZCZ) width.The main parameter form of the constructed ZCP was((2k+1)N,(2k+1)N-k)-ZCP, where N was the length of the chosen GCP.Although not all even lengths can be covered, the constructed ZCP has the ZCZ width that can achieve or approach the upper bound of Type-Ⅱ even-length binary ZCP, and has small peak-to-mean envelope power ratio whose value is less than or equal to 4.The resultant sequences can be applied to multi-carrier spread spectrum system to eliminate more asynchronous interference and reduce nonlinear distortion.…”

AdvFaceGAN: a face dual-identity impersonation attack method based on generative adversarial networks by Hong Huang, Yang Yang, Yunfei Wang

“…Previous research on both digital-domain and physical-domain attacks has lacked consideration of real-world attack scenarios: Digital-domain attacks with good stealthiness often fail to achieve physical implementation, while wearable-based physical-domain attacks typically appear unnatural and cannot evade human visual inspection. We propose AdvFaceGAN, a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based impersonation attack method that generates dual-identity adversarial faces capable of bypassing defenses and being uploaded to facial recognition system databases in our proposed attack scenario, thereby achieving dual-identity impersonation attacks. …”
