Improved segmented CRC assisted puncturing Polar decoding by Yanhong NI, Xiangxiong LOU, Jianrong BAO

“…A segmented cyclic redundancy check (CRC) assisted decoding algorithm was proposed.This method makes use of the high parallelism of BP decoding and the high reliability of CRC verification,and uniformly or proportionally disperses CRC verification bits into the original information bits.Simulation results show that when the code length N is 1 024 and the SNR is 3.5 dB,the average iterations of segmented CRC（2,16×2）and CRC (2,24+8) are 2.7 and 2.8 times less than those of G matrix based decoding.When the code length M is 896,the two segmented methods with a bit error rate of 10^-5obtained about 0.7 dB gain compared with the non-CRC assisted BP puncturing decoding.…”

Algebraic Linear Analysis for Number Theoretic Transform in Lattice-Based Cryptography by Chun-Ming Chiu, Jiaxiang Liu, Ming-Hsien Tsai, Xiaomu Shi, Bow-Yaw Wang, Bo-Yin Yang

“…We add semi-automatic range-check reasoning capability to the CryptoLine toolkit via the Integer Set Library (wrapped via the python package islpy) which makes it easier and faster to verify more arithmetic crypto code, including Barrett and Plantard finite-field arithmetic, and show experimentally that this is viable on production code. …”

Software diversification method based on binary rewriting by Benwei HE, Yunfei GUO, Yawen WANG, Qingfeng WANG, Hongchao HU

“…Software diversity is an effective defense against code-reuse attacks, but most existing software diversification technologies are based on source code.Obtaining program source code may be difficult, while binary files are challenging to disassemble accurately and distinguish between code pointers and data constants.This makes binary file diversification difficult to generate high levels of randomization entropy, and easily compromised by attackers.To overcome these challenges, a binary file oriented software diversification method was proposed based on static binary rewriting technology, namely instruction offset randomization.This method inserted NOP instructions of varying byte lengths before program instructions with a certain probability, reducing the number of unintended gadgets in the program and randomly offsetting the original instruction address.This disrupts the program’s original memory layout and increases the cost of code-reuse attacks.At the same time, an optimization strategy based on hot code was designed for this method.The execution times of basic blocks in binary files were obtained by dynamic pile insertion, so as to adjust the NOP instruction insertion probability in each basic block.The higher the execution frequency, the fewer NOP instructions were inserted into the basic block, which can ensure lower performance overhead and produce higher randomization entropy.In the experimental part, the SPEC benchmark program was used to test the optimized method from the aspects of performance overhead, gadget survival rate and file size.The results show that a 15% insertion probability achieves the best effect, with an average gadget survival rate of less than 1.49%, increasing attackers’ difficulty in reusing the same gadget attack chain.Furthermore, only a 4.1% operation overhead and 7.7% space overhead are added, maintaining high levels of security.…”

Determination of Local Site-Specific Spectra Using Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Bitlis Province, Turkey by Ercan Işık, Mustafa Kutanis

“…The obtained results were compared with the spectral responses proposed for seismic evaluation and retrofit of the building structure in Turkish Earthquake Code, Section 2. At the end of this study, it is apprehended that the Code proposed earthquake response spectra are not sufficient for the performance evaluation of the existing structures and the current estimations show that the potential seismic hazard research of the Turkey is underestimated in the code.Therefore, site- specific design spectra for the region should be developed, which reflect the characteristics of local sites.   …”
