The Full Cost of Cryptanalytic Attacks

An open question about the asymptotic cost of connecting many processors to a large memory using three dimensions for wiring is answered, and this result is used to find the full cost of several cryptanalytic attacks. In many cases this full cost is higher than the accepted complexity of a given algorithm based on the number of processor steps. The full costs of several cryptanalytic attacks are determined, including Shanks method for computing discrete logarithms in cyclic groups of prime order n, which requires n^1/2+o(1) processor steps, but, when all factors are taken into account, has full cost n^2/3+o(1). Other attacks analyzed are factoring with the number field sieve, generic attacks on block ciphers, attacks on double and triple encryption, and finding hash collisions. In many cases parallel collision search gives a significant asymptotic advantage over well-known generic attacks.

Computing Prime Factorization And Discrete Logarithms: From Index Calculus To Xedni Calculus

The integer factorization problem (IFP), the finite field discrete logarithm problem (DLP) and the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) are essentially the only three mathematical problems that the practical public-key cryptographic systems are based on. For example, the most famous RSA cryptosystem is based on IFP, the US government's Digital Signature Standard, DSS, is based on DLP, whereas the ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) are based on ECDLP. The security of such cryptographic systems relies on the computational intractability of these three mathematical problems. In this paper, we shall present a survey of various methods for solving the IFP/DLP and particularly the ECDLP problems. More specifically, we shall first discuss how the index calculus as well as quantum algorithms can be used to solve IFP/DLP. Then we shall show why the index calculus cannot be used to solve ECDLP. Finally, we shall introduce a new method, xedni calculus , due to Joseph Silverman, for attack ECDLP; some open problems and new research directions, will also be addressed.

Identification of piecewise affine systems based on statistical clustering technique

This paper is concerned with the identification of a class of piecewise affine systems called a piecewise affine autoregressive exogenous (PWARX) model. The PWARX model is composed of ARX sub-models each of which corresponds to a polyhedral region of the regression space. Under the temporary assumption that the number of sub-models is known a priori, the input-output data are collected into several clusters by using a statistical clustering algorithm. We utilize support vector classifiers to estimate the boundary hyperplane between two adjacent regions in the regression space. In each cluster, the parameter vector of the sub-model is obtained by the least squares method. It turns out that the present statistical clustering approach enables us to estimate the number of sub-models based on the information criteria such as CAIC and MDL. The estimate of the number of sub-models is performed by applying the identification procedure several times to the same data set, after having fixed the number of sub-models to different values. Finally, we verify the applicability of the present identification method through a numerical example of a Hammerstein model.

Non-absorbable gas effects on heat and mass transfer in falling film absorption

Film absorption involves simultaneous heat and mass transfer in the gas-liquid system. While the non-absorbable gas does not participate directly in the absorption process, its presence does affect the overall heat and mass transfer. An experimental study was performed to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of LiBr-H₂O solution flowing over 6-row horizontal tubes with the water vapor absorption in the presence of non-absorbable gases. The volumetric concentration of non-absorbable gas. air, was varied from 0.17 to 10.0%. The combined effects of the solution flow rate and its concentration on the heat and mass transfer coefficients were also examined. The presence of 2% volumetric concentration of air resulted in a 25% reduction in the Nusselt number and 41% reduction in the Sherwood number. Optimum film Reynolds number was found to exist at which the heat and mass transfer reach their maximum value independent of air contents. Reduced Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, defined as the ratio of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers at given non-absorbable gas content to that with pure water vapor, were correlated to account for the reduction in the heat and mass transfer due to non-absorbable gases in a falling film absorption process.     

Reduced frequency effects on the near-wake of an oscillating elliptic airfoil

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the reduced frequency effect on the near-wake of an elliptic airfoil oscillating in pitch. The airfoil was sinusoidally pitched around the center of the chord between -5° and +25° angles of attack at an airspeed of 3.4 m/s. The chord Reynolds number and reduced frequencies were 3.3 X104, and 0.1, 0.7, respectively. Phase-averaged axial velocity and turbulent intensity profiles are presented to show the reduced frequency effects on the near-wake behind the airfoil oscillating in pitch. Axial velocity defects in the near-wake region have a tendency to increase in response to a reduced frequency during pitch up motion, whereas it tends to decrease during pitch down motion at a positive angle of attack. Turbulent intensity at positive angles of attack during the pitch up motion decreased in response to a reduced frequency, whereas turbulent intensity during the pitch down motion varies considerably with downstream stations. Although the true instantaneous angle of attack compensated for a phase-lag is large, the wake thickness of an oscillating airfoil is not always large because of laminar or turbulent separation.
