Using redundant parallel architecture to improve speaker recognition performance

In this paper, we propose two kinds of modifications in speaker recognition. First, the correlations between frequency channels are of prime importance for speaker recognition. Some of these correlations are lost when the frequency domain is divided into sub-bands. Consequently we propose a particularly redundant parallel architecture for which most of the correlations are kept. Second, generally a log transformation used to modify the power spectrum is done after the filter-bank in the classical spectrum calculation. We will see that performing this transformation before the filter bank is more interesting in our case. In the processing of recognition, the Gaussian mixture model （GMM） recognition arithmetic is adopted. Experiments on speech corrupted by noise show a better adaptability of this approach in noisy environments, comoared with a conventional device, esoeciallv when oruning of some recognizers is performed.

HRPDF: A Software-Based Heterogeneous Redundant Proactive Defense Framework for Programmable Logic Controller

Programmable logic controllers(PLCs)play a critical role in many industrial control systems,yet face increasingly serious cyber threats.In this paper,we propose a novel PLC-compatible software-based defense mechanism,called Heterogeneous Redundant Proactive Defense Framework(HRPDF).We propose a heterogeneous PLC architecture in HRPDF,including multiple heterogeneous,equivalent,and synchronous runtimes,which can thwart multiple types of attacks against PLC without the need of external devices.To ensure the availability of PLC,we also design an inter-process communication algorithm that minimizes the overhead of HRPDF.We implement a prototype system of HRPDF and test it in a real-world PLC and an OpenPLC-based device,respectively.The results show that HRPDF can defend against multiple types of attacks with 10.22%additional CPU and 5.56%additional memory overhead,and about 0.6 ms additional time overhead.

Problems and solutions regarding generalized functional safety in cyberspace

The common endogenous security problems in cyberspace and related attack threats have posed subversive challenges to conventional theories and methods of functional safety.In the current design of the cyber physical system(CPS),functional safety and cyber security are increasingly intertwined and inseparable,which evolve into the generalized functional safety(S&S)problem.The conventional reliability and cybersecurity technologies are unable to provide security assurance with quanti able design and veri cation metrics in response to the cyberattacks in hardware and software with common endogenous security problems,and the functional safety of CPS facilities or device has become a frightening ghost.The dynamic heterogeneity redundancy(DHR)architecture and coding channel theory(CCT)proposed by the cyberspace endogenous security paradigm could handle random failures and uncertain network attacks in an integrated manner,and its generalized robust control mechanism can solve the universal problem of quantitative design for functional safety under probability or improbability perturbation.As a generalized functional safety enabling structure,DHR opens up a new direction to solve the common endogenous security problems in the cross-disciplinary elds of cyberspace.
