Statistical ineffective fault analysis of the lightweight authenticated cipher algorithm Saturnin-Short by Wei LI, Chun LIU, Dawu GU, Wenqian SUN, Jianning GAO, Mengyang QIN

“…On the random single byte-oriented fault model and the assumption of ciphertext-only attack, a statistical ineffective fault analysis of the Saturnin-Short cipher was proposed.The analysis combined the statistical distribution with the ineffective analysis, and discussed the difference between intermediate states before and after fault injections.A variety of dual distinguishers was designed, such as the probabilistic symmetric Chi-square-maximum likelihood estimate, and harmonic mean-Hamming weight.It only required at least 1 097 ineffective faults to recover the 256 bit secret key with a success rate of at least 99%.The experimental results show that the proposed distinguishers can not only decrease fault injections, but also reduce the attacking time and complexities.Therefore, the Saturnin-Short cipher cannot resist against the statistical ineffective fault analysis.It provides an important reference for the security analysis of other lightweight authenticated ciphers.…”

Impossible statistical fault analysis of the PRIDE lightweight cryptosystem by Wei LI, Wenqian SUN, Dawu GU, Ailin ZHANG, Yunhua WEN

“…To analyze the implementation security of the PRIDE lightweight cryptosystem proposed at CRYPTO in 2014, a novel method of impossible statistical fault analysis on the ciphertext-only attack assumption was proposed.Furthermore, new distinguishers were designed, such as the Chi-square goodness-of-fit test-Hamming weight, and Chi-square goodness-of-fit test-maximum likelihood estimation.The proposed method had a random nibble-oriented fault model, and combined the statistical distribution states with the impossible relationship.On the difference among the intermediate states before and after the fault injections, at least 432 faults were required to recover the 128 bit secret key of PRIDE with a reliability of at least 99%.The experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed method can not only reduce injected faults and latency, but also increase the accuracy.The results provide a vital reference for exploring the implementation security of lightweight cryptosystems.…”

Efficient keyword spotting system for information retrieval by LUO Jun, OU Zhi-jian

“…A new two-stage keyword spotting system was proposed based on syllable graph for audio information retrieval task,which could efficiently spot the interesting words in mass speech data,thus serve for the national security.It comprised two stages – preprocessing and searching.In the preprocessing stage,the audio data was recognized into syllable graph which included high accuracy syllable candidates,and unsupervised MLLR（maximum likelihood linear regression） adaptation was carried out iteratively to further improve the accuracy of the syllable graph.In the searching stage,to answer the frequent queries from users,searching for matched keywords was only scanned in the graph for likely syllable strings.A forward-backward algorithm based on syllable N-grammar was used to calculate confidence measures for further filtering of the searching result.Experimental results show the system achieved good performances in both recall rate and accuracy rate,and in the searching stage only 0.01 times of real time is needed,which can meet the demand for fast retrieval.…”

Performance analysis and evaluation of a hybrid erasure error correction scheme in wireless real-time multicast systems by Guo-ping TAN, Li-zhong XU, Xi-jun YAN, Zai-jun HUA

“…In order to analyze and evaluate accurately the performance of erasure error correction (EEC) schemes in wireless real-time multicast (WRM) systems,A method which relying on the Gilbert-Elliot (GE) channel model and the practical experimental data was proposed.Namely,a closed-form expression for analyzing the performance of a hybrid EEC scheme over GE channel was contributed.Then,a validating and evaluating system w th real-time multicast services over WLAN was designed.Based on the system,the maximum likelihood estimation method was adopted for statistical evaluations.The results show that the GE model can match the practical erasure error channel accurately.Both the analysis results of the hybrid EEC scheme and the experimental lts are basically coincident,which validates the accuracy of the method.This method is of reference significance for analyzing and evaluating accurately all kinds of EEC schemes in WRM systems.…”
