Side-channel attacks pose an inevitable challenge to the implementation of cryptographic algorithms, and it is important to mitigate them. This work identifies a novel data encoding technique based on 1-of-4 codes to resist differential power analysis attacks, which is the most investigated category of side-channel attacks. The four code words of the 1-of-4 codes, namely (0001, 0010, 1000, and 0100), are split into two sets: set-0 and set-1. Using a select signal, the data processed in hardware is switched between the two encoding sets alternately such that the Hamming weight and Hamming distance are equalized. As a case study, the proposed technique is validated for the NIST standard AES-128 cipher. The proposed technique resists differential power analysis performed using statistical methods, namely correlation, mutual information, difference of means, and Welch's t-test based on the Hamming weight and distance models. The experimental results show that the proposed countermeasure has an area overhead of 2.3× with no performance degradation comparatively.

This study is investigating experimentally the effect of upstream Froude number, weir height, weir length, and main channel width on the discharge coefficient of rectangular sharp crested side-weirs under subcritical flow conditions in a relatively wide rectangular open channel based on the De Marchi discharge coefficient $C_M$. The effects of four main influential parameters found by dimensional analysis, $Fr_1$, $h/y_1$, L/B, and $L/y_1$ are examined by the flume tests. New estimated equations for the discharge coefficients of sharp-crested side-weir are suggested based on the experimental results. The effect of $Fr_1$ for the discharge coefficient of sharp crested side weir is decreased in wide open channel and the relative importance of other influential parameters like $h/y_1$, L/B, and $L/y_1$ are increased. Also, the experimental results are compared with the results of other studies to extend the applicability of pre-suggested formulas for sharp-crested side-weir discharge coefficient.

Recently, various methods have been proposed for improving the performance of the side channel analysis using the power consumption. Of those method, waveform compression method applies to reduce the noise component in pre-processing step. In this paper, we propose the new LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis)-based signal compression method finding unique feature vector. Through experimentations, we are comparing the proposed method with the PCA(Principal Component Analysis)-based method which has known for the best performance among existing signal compression methods.

A white-box environment refers to a situation where the internal information of an algorithm is disclosed. The AES white-box encryption was first announced in 2002, and in 2016, a side-channel analysis for white-box encryption called Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) was proposed. DCA analysis is a powerful side-channel attack technique that uses the memory information of white-box encryption as side-channel information to find the key. Although various countermeasure studies against DCA have been published domestically and internationally, there were no evaluated or analyzed results from experiments applying the hiding technique using dummy operations to DCA analysis. Therefore, in this paper, we insert LU T-shaped dummy operations into the WBC-AES algorithm proposed by S. Chow in 2002 and quantitatively evaluate the degree of change in DCA analysis response depending on the size of the dummy. Compared to the DCA analysis proposed in 2016, which recovers a total of 16 bytes of the key, the countermeasure proposed in this paper was unable to recover up to 11 bytes of the key as the size of the dummy decreased, resulting in a maximum decrease in attack performance of about 68.8%, which is about 31.2% lower than the existing attack performance. The countermeasure proposed in this paper confirms that the attack performance significantly decreases as smaller dummy sizes are inserted and can be applied in various fields.

In this study, the effects of upstream Froude number ($Fr_1$), weir height (h), weir length (L), weir width (W) and main channel width (B) on the discharge coefficient of broad crested side-weirs in a relatively wide rectangular open channel were investigated experimentally. Furthermore the relationship between discharge coefficients of sharp crested side weir and broad crested side weir was studied using the concept of De Marchi discharge coefficient. The effect of $Fr_1$ on the relationship between discharge coefficients of sharp crested side weir and broad crested side weir is decreased in wide open channel and the relative importance of other influential parameters like h/$y_1$, L/B, and W/($y_1-h$) are increased. New estimated equations for the discharge coefficients of broad crested side weir are suggested from regression analysis with the experiment data sets.

This study analyzed performance changes by an inner flow path of impeller groove for side channel type ring blower using CFD. Two models have the same side channel and clearance while one has an inner flow path and the other doesn't. To analyze the performance change of a ring blower, overall performance and local flow field were analyzed. For the overall performance, pressure increase and impeller torque were checked under the design flow condition. Under the design flow condition, pressure increase was greater for the model with the inner flow path. The model with the inner flow path showed improved efficiency because the area subject to torque decreased due to the creation of inner flow path. To analyze local flow field, a section was created from the representative location of each impeller groove toward the direction of radius. Inner channel pressure distribution depending on the rotation direction shows that the model with the inner flow path has pressure equilibrium of working fluid through the inner flow path. Velocity distribution of inside impeller groove shows that flow field was coupled and appeared to form an inner wall where the flow field was stabilized.

In the very high temperature reactor (VHTR), which is a next generation nuclear reactor system, ceramics are used as a fuel coating material and graphite is used as a core structural material. Even if a depressurization accident occurs and the reactor power goes up instantly, the temperature of the core will change only slowly. This is because the thermal capacity of the core is so high. Therefore, the VHTR system can passively remove the decay heat of the core by natural convection and radiation from the surface of the reactor pressure vessel. The objectives of this study are to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of natural convection of a one-side heated vertical channel with inserted porous materials of high porosity and also to develop the passive cooling system for the VHTR. An experiment was carried out using a one-side heated vertical rectangular channel. To obtain the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of the vertical channel with inserted porous material, we have also carried out a numerical analysis using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. This paper describes the thermal performances of the one-side heated vertical rectangular channel with an inserted copper wire of high porosity.

A 32-ft class leisure boat was newly developed using statistical analysis of actual ships. Resistance performances were investigated by testing models in a high-speed circulating water channel, and with the CFD method. The effects of a trim tab and of a fin attached at the hull side were studied together. Wave patterns were observed to clarify the relationship between resistance performance and wave characteristics. It was found that a trim tab and a side fin play a role in increasing resistance performance within a certain velocity range.

Side channel attacks are a very serious menace to embedded devices with cryptographic applications. To counteract such attacks many randomization techniques have been proposed. One efficient technique in elliptic curve cryptosystems randomizes addition chains with binary signed digit (BSD) representations of the secret key. However, when such countermeasures have been used alone, most of them have been broken by various simple power analysis attacks. In this paper, we consider combinations which can enhance the security of countermeasures using BSD representations by adding additional countermeasures. First, we propose several ways the improved countermeasures based on BSD representations can be attacked. In an actual statistical power analysis attack, the number of samples plays an important role. Therefore, we estimate the number of samples needed in the proposed attack.
