Traditionally embedded microprocessors is considered as a device for low- and simple-computations because of its limited computing power and constrained resources. However high-end embedded devices have been developed and many applications are getting feasible in the embedded devices. To provide secure and robust service environments, security on embedded devices are in order. Recently many research results on embedded devices have been proposed. In this paper, we explore various cryptography implementation results on representative 8-, 16- and 32-bit embedded processors including AVR, MSP and ARM. This report would be helpful for following researchers who are interested in cryptography implementation techniques on resource constrained devices.

Structural control technologies have attracted great interest from the earthquake engineering community over the last few decades as an effective method of reducing undesired structural responses. Traditional structural control systems employ large quantities of cables to connect structural sensors, actuators, and controllers into one integrated system. To reduce the high-costs associated with labor-intensive installations, wireless communication can serve as an alternative real-time communication link between the nodes of a control system. A prototype wireless structural sensing and control system has been physically implemented and its performance verified in large-scale shake table tests. This paper introduces the design of this prototype system and investigates the feasibility of employing decentralized and partially decentralized control strategies to mitigate the challenge of communication latencies associated with wireless sensor networks. Closed-loop feedback control algorithms are embedded within the wireless sensor prototypes allowing them to serve as controllers in the control system. To validate the embedment of control algorithms, a 3-story half-scale steel structure is employed with magnetorheological (MR) dampers installed on each floor. Both numerical simulation and experimental results show that decentralized control solutions can be very effective in attaining the optimal performance of the wireless control system.

온칩(on-chip) 캐쉬는 외부 메모리로의 접근을 감소시키는 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 내장형 시스템에 맞추어 설계된 2-레벨 캐쉬 메모리 구조를 제안하고자 한다. 레벨1(L1) 캐쉬의 구성으로 작은 크기, 직접사상(direct-mapped) 그리고 바로쓰기(write-through)를 채용한다. 대조적으로 레벨2(L2) 캐쉬는 일반적인 캐쉬 크기와 집합연관(Set-associativity) 그리고 나중쓰기(write-back) 정책을 채용한다. 결과적으로 L1캐쉬는 한 사이클 이내에 접근될 수 있고 L2캐쉬는 전체 캐쉬의 미스율(global miss rate)을 낮추는데 효과적이다. 두 캐쉬 계층간 바로쓰기(write-thorough) 정책에서 오는 빈번한 L2 캐쉬 접근으로 인한 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위해 본 연구에서는 One-way 접근 기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 2-레벨 캐쉬 메모리 구조는 평균적으로 26%의 성능향상과 43%의 에너지 소비 그리고 77%의 에너지-지연 곱에서 이득을 보여주었다.

Driven by security and real-time demands of Internet of Things (IoT), the timing of fog computing and edge computing have gradually come into place. Gateways bear more nearby computing, storage, analysis and as an intelligent broker of the whole computing lifecycle in between local devices and the remote cloud. In fog computing, the edge broker requires X-aware capabilities that combines software programmability, stream processing, hardware optimization and various connectivity to deal with such as security, data abstraction, network latency, service classification and workload allocation strategy. The prosperous of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) pushes the possibility of gateway capabilities further landed. In this paper, we propose a software-defined gateway (SDG) scheme for fog computing paradigm termed as Fog Computing Zero-Knowledge Gateway that strengthens data protection and resilience merits designed for industrial internet of things or highly privacy concerned hybrid cloud scenarios. It is a proxy for fog nodes and able to integrate with existing commodity gateways. The contribution is that it converts Privacy-Enhancing Technologies rules into provable statements without knowing original sensitive data and guarantees privacy rules applied to the sensitive data before being propagated while preventing potential leakage threats. Some logical functions can be offloaded to any programmable micro-controller embedded to achieve higher computing efficiency.

Accurate and efficient monitoring of dynamically changing environments is one of the most important requirements for ubiquitous network environments. Ubiquitous computing provides intelligent environments which are aware of spatial conditions and can provide timely and useful information to users or devices. Also, the growth of embedded systems and wireless communication technology has made it possible for sensor network environments to develop on a large scale and at low-cost. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a monitoring system that collects, analyzes, and controls the status information of each sensor, following sensor data extracted from each sensor node. The monitoring system adopts Web technology for the implementation of a simple but efficient user interface that allows an operator to visualize any of the processes, elements, or related information in a convenient graphic form.

Kubernetes is one of the most widely used tool in cloud computing environments. It m anages POD as a basic operational unit, providing a isolated environments through container tech nology. Basically, its scheduler properly allocates POD, considering the utilizations of CPUs, mem ories and volumes on hosts. In our work, we develop a customized scheduling framework additio nally considering network resources. In the framework, we can monitor the dynamic variations of resources and make it possible to utilize the resources for the scheduler. This framework offers not only observing necessary information but also visualizing the data to scheduler for providing convenience.

In an ubiquitous environment, for controlling user access according to environment of users, a number of access control models enforcing dynamic environment of users have been proposed. However, they do not support personalized environments of each user and have a run-time overhead of searching active roles. In this paper, we propose a new model, PE-RBAC, that extends the RBAC architecture by addition of a personalized environment component as a constraint to accommodate dynamic and mobile users. In this model, a dynamic role activation is presented by using a new role-to-environment structure instead of the conventional role hierarchy, which makes it efficient to find the active roles according to a user's personalized environment.

With the advancement of artificial intelligence and its various use cases, accessing it through edge computing environments is gaining traction. However, due to the nature of edge computing environments, efficient management and optimization of clusters distributed in different geographical locations is considered a major challenge. To address these issues, this paper proposes a centralization and automation tool called KubEVC-Agent based on Kubernetes. KubEVC-Agent centralizes the deployment, operation, and management of edge clusters and presents a use case of the data transformation for optimizing intra-cluster communication. This paper describes the components of KubEVC-Agent, its working principle, and experimental results to verify its effectiveness.
