A Weak-PUF-Assisted Strong PUF with Inherent Security Using Metastability Implemented on FPGAs
Published on 2025-03-02 by Jiaji He, Guoqian Song, Qizhi Zhang, Xiaoxiang Wang, Yanjiang Liu, Yao Li, Mao Ye, Yiqiang Zhao @MDPI
Abstract: Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are emerging as highly promising lightweight hardware security primitives that offer novel information security solutions. PUFs capitalize on the intrinsic physical variations within circuits to generate unpredictable responses. Nevertheless, diverse PUF types often encounter difficulties in concurrently fulfilling multiple performance requisites. As is well known, strong PUFs possess significantly larger challenge–response pair (CRP) set sizes.[...]
Our summary: Newly devised DL-PUF enhances CRP set size and security performance, Implemented on 45 nm Xilinx Spartan 6 XC6SLX25 FPGAs, Resilient against machine learning attacks.

Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing and Computing for Outsourced Policy Iteration with Attempt Records from Multiple Users
Published on 2025-02-28 by Bangyan Chen, Jun Ye @MDPI
Abstract: Reinforcement learning is a machine learning framework that relies on a lot of trial-and-error processes to learn the best policy to maximize the cumulative reward through the interaction between the agent and the environment. In the actual use of this process, the computing resources possessed by a single user are limited so that the cooperation of multiple users are needed, but the joint learning of multiple users introduces the problem of privacy leakage. This research proposes a method to sa[...]
Our summary: Reinforcement learning framework relies on trial-and-error processes to maximize cumulative reward. Multiple users cooperation needed due to limited resources, but introduces privacy leakage issue. Proposed method securely shares effort in encrypted state, performs reinforcement learning with outsourcing service using cryptographic algorithms and multi-key ciphertext fusion mechanism. Provable security and acceptable performance impact shown in experimental results.

Development of Jaw Controlled Wireless Navigation Governing System for Wheelchair to Empower Person with Impaired Upper Limb
Published on 2025-02-28 by Dhanasekar Ravikumar, Vijayaraja Loganathan, Narenthira Sai Raam Pasumponthangaperumal, Mirthulaa Suresh Kumar, Pranav Ponnovian, Benita Evangeline Balan @MDPI
Abstract: The central focus of this work is to implement an effective and cost-friendly wheelchair motion control system for individuals with impaired upper body movements by utilizing the mandibular movement of an individual. The initial part of the system is the signal-gathering system that is built of two functional blocks, the magnet and sensing block. A magnet is affixed to the inferior region of the user’s mandible, and the sensing block, which incorporates two static HMCL 5883L sensor[...]
Our summary: Development of jaw-controlled wheelchair navigation system using HMCL 5883L sensor for individuals with impaired upper limb mobility. Magnet and sensing blocks detect mandibular movement to control wheelchair trajectory. Incorporates sophisticated yet budget-friendly technology for sustainable and available mobility solution.

Root Cause Analysis for Observed Increased Sedimentation in a Commercial Residue Hydrocracker
Published on 2025-02-27 by Ivelina Shishkova, Dicho Stratiev, Petko Kirov, Rosen Dinkov, Sotir Sotirov, Evdokia Sotirova, Veselina Bureva, Krassimir Atanassov, Vesislava Toteva, Svetlin Vasilev, Dobromir Yordanov, Radoslava Nikolova, Anife Veli @MDPI
Abstract: Ebullated bed vacuum residue hydrocracking is a well-established technology providing a high conversion level of low-value residue fractions in high-value light fuels. The main challenge in this technology when processing vacuum residues derived from different crude oils is the sediment formation rate that leads to equipment fouling and cycle length shortening. With the severity enhancement, the asphaltenes become more aromatic and less soluble which leads to sediment formation when the differen[...]
Our summary: Evaluation of sediment formation in a commercial residue hydrocracker revealed the impact of feed properties and process conditions on the increased sediment content, leading to equipment fouling and cycle length shortening.

Privacy-Preserved Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Based on a Dual-Component Approach
Published on 2025-02-27 by Mingxu Yang, Chuhua Huang, Xin Huang, Shengjin Hou @MDPI
Abstract: Edge-assisted visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is widely used in autonomous driving, robot navigation, and augmented reality for environmental perception, map construction, and real-time positioning. However, it poses significant privacy risks, as input images may contain sensitive information, and generated 3D point clouds can reconstruct original scenes. To address these concerns, this paper proposes a dual-component privacy-preserving approach for visual SLAM. First, a priv[...]
Our summary: This paper presents a dual-component privacy-preserving approach for visual SLAM, combining object detection and image inpainting for privacy protection and an encryption algorithm for 3D point cloud data. The proposed method effectively safeguards privacy-sensitive information while maintaining accurate pose estimation in dynamic outdoor scenes and prevents unauthorized attacks on recovering the original point cloud.
