Universal patching method for side-channel vulnerabilities based on atomic obfuscation by Deqing ZOU, Pan ZHANG, Wei LIU, Weijie CHEN, Yifan LU

“…Executing code containing side-channel vulnerabilities exhibits different non-functional behaviors related to inputs.Attackers can obtain these behaviors by leveraging micro architecture side-channel attacks and then analyze the pattern between the behaviors and the inputs to access sensitive data.Vulnerability repairing at the software layer brings low overheads to a program’s execution.Besides, it does not require modifying hardware or system, which enables fast patching and widespread deployment.It becomes the mainstream strategy applied to the current cryptographic implementations.However, existing solutions are deeply bound to the program’s implementation and requires manual intervention.This brings challenge to implement and is not versatile enough.A general patching method was proposed for side-channel vulnerabilities that combined dynamic obfuscated execution with hardware atomic transaction.To hide the real accesses of the side-channel vulnerabilities of a program, the proposed method inserted dynamic confusing accesses into the vulnerabilities.To avoid an attacker using fine-grained side-channel attack to distinguish the real access and the confusing access, both of them were encapsulated as transactions and they were guaranteed to be uninterrupted during the running period.In addition, a prototype system called SC-Patcher was implemented based on the LLVM compiler.Various optimization strategies were supported, including secure springboard and transaction aggregation, to further improve system security and performance.Experimental results show that the proposed method makes it impossible for an attacker to restore accurate sensitive data through side-channel attack, and it also brings almost no additional performance overhead to the program.…”

DESIGN ANALYSIS OF AN AUTOMATIC PHASE SELECTOR by ADEDOTUN O. OWOJORI, ABIODUN M. AKINBOLADE, KAYODE F. AKINGBADE

“…This paper gives a design analysis of an automatic phase selector linking available power supplies, that is; switching between a three-phase public utility supply, as a result of total power outage in the public supply to an alternative secondary supply (in this case a Generator and an Inverter system) and back when power is restored. The design adopts the use of a microcontroller-based system interconnected with other hardware components for proper isolation, switching and visualization of switching conditions. …”

CLINICAL EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF LIPOFILLING WITH DELAYED RECONSTRUCTION by A. D. Zikiryakhodzhayev, A. A. Masri, A. S. Sukhotko, F. N. Usov, M. V. Starkova, V. V. Ratushnaya, N. V. Evtyagina

“…In the particular example we show the positive effects after one session of conducted lipofiling in front of the chest wall to the right with Body-Jet hardware techniques. The purpose of this procedure was to improve the quality of cover fabrics in postoperative scar on the anterior chest wall right after comprehensive treatment, including also a cover for the such aggressive tissue treatment, as radiotherapy.It is proved that mesenchymal stromal cells, or cell-messengers that are present in all the fatty tissues, contribute to its regeneration by forming new blood vessels, or act directly on the damaged or exposed to aging structure — restore and rejuvenate the field of lipofilling. …”
