A secure and highly efficient first-order masking scheme for AES linear operations

Due to its provable security and remarkable device-independence,masking has been widely accepted as a noteworthy algorithmic-level countermeasure against side-channel attacks.However,relatively high cost of masking severely limits its applicability.Considering the high tackling complexity of non-linear operations,most masked AES implementations focus on the security and cost reduction of masked S-boxes.In this paper,we focus on linear operations,which seems to be underestimated,on the contrary.Specifically,we discover some security flaws and redundant processes in popular first-order masked AES linear operations,and pinpoint the underlying root causes.Then we propose a provably secure and highly efficient masking scheme for AES linear operations.In order to show its practical implications,we replace the linear operations of state-of-the-art first-order AES masking schemes with our proposal,while keeping their original non-linear operations unchanged.We implement four newly combined masking schemes on an Intel Core i7-4790 CPU,and the results show they are roughly 20%faster than those original ones.Then we select one masked implementation named RSMv2 due to its popularity,and investigate its security and efficiency on an AVR ATMega163 processor and four different FPGA devices.The results show that no exploitable first-order side-channel leakages are detected.Moreover,compared with original masked AES implementations,our combined approach is nearly 25%faster on the AVR processor,and at least 70%more efficient on four FPGA devices.

Noiseless Linear Amplification with General Local Unitary Operations

Noiseless linear amplification （NLA）, first proposed by Ralpha et al., is a nondeterministic amplification process which gives gain to the Fock state ｜n） → gn｜n）, with g being the amplification gain. We here give a general frame- work for improving the NLA scheme with arbitrary general local unitary operations. We derive the improvement in the amplification gain in 0 1 photon subspace. In particular, we study if the local unitary is composed of sin- gle mode squeezing and coherent displacement operation. Finally, numerical simulations show that local unitary operation could give a further enhancement in the amplification gain as well as the success probability, making the NLA more feasible in future optic quantum communications.

ESTIMATE ON THE BLOCH CONSTANT FOR CERTAIN HARMONIC MAPPINGS UNDER A DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR

In this paper,we first obtain the precise values of the univalent radius and the Bloch constant for harmonic mappings of the formL(f)=zfz-zfz,where f represents normalized harmonic mappings with bounded dilation.Then,using these results,we present better estimations for the Bloch constants of certain harmonic mappings L(f),where f is a K-quasiregular harmonic or open harmonic.Finally,we establish three versions of BlochLandau type theorem for biharmonic mappings of the form L(f).These results are sharp in some given cases and improve the related results of earlier authors.

A NEW PERTURBATION THEOREM FOR MOORE-PENROSE METRIC GENERALIZED INVERSE OF BOUNDED LINEAR OPERATORS IN BANACH SPACES

In this paper, we investigate a new perturbation theorem for the Moore-Penrose metric generalized inverses of a bounded linear operator in Banach space. The main tool in this paper is ＂the generalized Neumann lemma＂ which is quite different from the method in [12] where ＂the generalized Banach lemma＂ was used. By the method of the perturba- tion analysis of bounded linear operators, we obtain an explicit perturbation theorem and three inequalities about error estimates for the Moore-Penrose metric generalized inverse of bounded linear operator under the generalized Neumann lemma and the concept of stable perturbations in Banach spaces.

Linear Operators That Strongly Preserve Nilpotent Matrices over Antinegative Semirings

Let S be an antinegative commutative semiring without zero divisors and Mn（S） be the semiring of all n × n matrices over S. For a linear operator L on Mn（S）, we say that L strongly preserves nilpotent matrices in Mn（S） if for any A ∈ Mn（S）, A is nilpotent if and only if L（A） is nilpotent. In this paper, the linear operators that strongly preserve nilpotent matrices over S are characterized.

Spherical Linear Diophantine Fuzzy Sets with Modeling Uncertainties in MCDM

The existing concepts of picture fuzzy sets(PFS),spherical fuzzy sets(SFSs),T-spherical fuzzy sets(T-SFSs)and neutrosophic sets(NSs)have numerous applications in decision-making problems,but they have various strict limitations for their satisfaction,dissatisfaction,abstain or refusal grades.To relax these strict constraints,we introduce the concept of spherical linearDiophantine fuzzy sets(SLDFSs)with the inclusion of reference or control parameters.A SLDFSwith parameterizations process is very helpful formodeling uncertainties in themulti-criteria decisionmaking(MCDM)process.SLDFSs can classify a physical systemwith the help of reference parameters.We discuss various real-life applications of SLDFSs towards digital image processing,network systems,vote casting,electrical engineering,medication,and selection of optimal choice.We show some drawbacks of operations of picture fuzzy sets and their corresponding aggregation operators.Some new operations on picture fuzzy sets are also introduced.Some fundamental operations on SLDFSs and different types of score functions of spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy numbers(SLDFNs)are proposed.New aggregation operators named spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy weighted geometric aggregation(SLDFWGA)and spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy weighted average aggregation(SLDFWAA)operators are developed for a robust MCDM approach.An application of the proposed methodology with SLDF information is illustrated.The comparison analysis of the final ranking is also given to demonstrate the validity,feasibility,and efficiency of the proposed MCDM approach.

Control synthesis of linear distributed parameter switched systems

The control synthesis for switched systems is extended to distributed parameter switched systems in Hilbert space. Based on semigroup and operator theory, by means of multiple Lyapunov method incorporated average dwell time approach, sufficient con- ditions are derived in terms of linear operator inequalities frame- work for distributed parameter switched systems. Being applied to one dimensional heat propagation switched systems, these lin- ear operator inequalities are reduced to linear matrix inequalities subsequently. In particular, the state feedback gain matrices and the switching law are designed, and the state decay estimate is explicitly given whose decay coefficient completely depends on the system＇s parameter and the boundary condition. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.

RELATIVE ESSENTIAL SPECTRA INVOLVING RELATIVE DEMICOMPACT UNBOUNDED LINEAR OPERATORS

In this article, we introduce the concept of demicompactness with respect to a closed densely defined linear operator, as a generalization of the class of demicompact operator introduced by Petryshyn in [24] and we establish some new results in Fredholm theory. Moreover, we apply the obtained results to discuss the incidence of some perturbation results on the behavior of relative essential spectra of unbounded linear operators acting on Banach spaces. We conclude by characterizations of the relative Schechter＇s and approximate essential spectrum.

ON PROBABILISTIC NORM OF A LINEAR OPERATORS AND SPACE OF OPERATORS

Since the PN space (E, F) which satisfies condition (PN-5) is just a Menger PN-space (E, F, min), the results with regard to probabilistic norms of linear operators on PN-spaces obtained by Xiao Jianzhong have bigger limitations. In this paper, problems respecting probabilistic norms of linear operators and spaces of operators are studied on more general Menger PN-spaces. The results presented improve and generalize the corresponding results by Xiao.

On the Finite-dimensional Optimal Approximations to the Infinite dimensional Linear Operators

A method of approaching to the infinite dimensional linear operators by the finite dimensional operators is discussed.

The norm error is found and the necessary and sufficient condition for such n dimensional optimal approximations to be unique is obtained.

Linear Operators Preserving Symplectic Group over a Field Consisting of at Least Four Elements

Suppose F is a field consisting of at least four elements. Let Mn（F） and SP2n（F） be the linear space of all n × n matrices and the group of all 2n × 2n symplectic matrices over F, respectively. A linear operator L ： M2n（F） → M2n（F） is said to preserve the symplectic group if L（SP2n（F）） = SP2n（F）. It is shown that L is an invertible preserver of the symplectic group if and only if L takes the form （i） L（X） = QPXP^-1 for any X ∈ M2n（F） or （ii） L（X） = QPX^TP^-1 for any X ∈M2n（F）, where Q ∈ SP2n（F） and P is a generalized symplectic matrix. This generalizes the result derived by Pierce in Canad J. Math., 3（1975）, 715-724.
