The latest advances in the field of smart card technologies allow modern cards to be more than just simple security tokens. Recent developments facilitate the use of interactive components like buttons, displays or even touch-sensors within the card's body thus conquering whole new areas of application. With interactive functionalities the usability aspect becomes the most important one for designing secure and popularly accepted products. Unfortunately, the usability can only be tested fully with completely integrated hence expensive smart card prototypes. This restricts severely application specific research, case studies of new smart card user interfaces and the optimization of design aspects, as well as hardware requirements by making usability and acceptance tests in smart card development very costly and time-consuming. Rapid development and simulation of smart card interfaces and applications can help to avoid this restriction. This paper presents a rapid development process for new smart card interfaces and applications based on common smartphone technology using a tool called SCUID^Sim. We will demonstrate the variety of usability aspects that can be analyzed with such a simulator by discussing some selected example projects.
Secure vehicular communication has been discussed over a long period of time. Now,- this technology is implemented in different Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects in europe. In most of these projects a suitable Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for a secure communication between involved entities in a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is needed. A first proposal for a PKI architecture for Intelligent Vehicular Systems (IVS PKI) is given by the car2car communication consortium. This architecture however mainly deals with inter vehicular communication and is less focused on the needs of Road Side Units. Here, we propose a multi-domain PKI architecture for Intelligent Transportation Systems, which considers the necessities of road infrastructure authorities and vehicle manufacturers, today. The PKI domains are cryptographically linked based on local trust lists. In addition, a crypto agility concept is suggested, which takes adaptation of key length and cryptographic algorithms during PKI operation into account.
TinyECC 2.0 is an open source library for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in wireless sensor networks. This paper analyzes the side channel susceptibility of TinyECC 2.0 on a LOTUS sensor node platform. In our work we measured the electromagnetic (EM) emanation during computation of the scalar multiplication using 56 different configurations of TinyECC 2.0. All of them were found to be vulnerable, but to a different degree. The different degrees of leakage include adversary success using (i) Simple EM Analysis (SEMA) with a single measurement, (ii) SEMA using averaging, and (iii) Multiple-Exponent Single-Data (MESD) with a single measurement of the secret scalar. It is extremely critical that in 30 TinyECC 2.0 configurations a single EM measurement of an ECC private key operation is sufficient to simply read out the secret scalar. MESD requires additional adversary capabilities and it affects all TinyECC 2.0 configurations, again with only a single measurement of the ECC private key operation. These findings give evidence that in security applications a configuration of TinyECC 2.0 should be chosen that withstands SEMA with a single measurement and, beyond that, an addition of appropriate randomizing countermeasures is necessary.
This paper proposes an Artificial Plasmodium Algorithm (APA) mimicked a contraction wave of a plasmodium of physarum polucephalum. Plasmodia can live using the contracion wave in their body to communicate to others and transport a nutriments. In the APA, each plasmodium has two information as the wave information: the direction and food index. We apply APA to a maze solving and route planning of road map.
In this paper, a set of micro-benchmarks is proposed to determine basic performance parameters of single-node mainstream hardware architectures for High Performance Computing. Performance parameters of recent processors, including those of accelerators, are determined. The investigated systems are Intel server processor architectures as well as the two accelerator lines Intel Xeon Phi and Nvidia graphic processors. Results show similarities for some parameters between all architectures, but significant differences for others.
Persons entering the working range of industrial robots are exposed to a high risk of collision with moving parts of the system, potentially causing severe injuries. Conventional systems, which restrict the access to this area, range from walls and fences to light barriers and other vision based protective devices (VBPD). None of these systems allow to distinguish between humans and workpieces in a safe and reliable manner. In this work, a new approach is investigated, which uses an active near-infrared (NIR) camera system with advanced capabilities of skin detection to distinguish humans from workpieces based on characteristic spectral signatures. This approach allows to implement more intelligent muting processes and at the same time increases the safety of persons working close to the robots. The conceptual integration of such a camera system into a VBPD and the enhancement of person detection methods through skin detection are described and evaluated in this paper. Based upon this work, next steps could be the development of multimodal sensor systems to safeguard working ranges of collaborating robots using the described camera system.
