Bootstrapping for Approximate Homomorphic Encryption with Negligible Failure-Probability by Using Sparse-Secret Encapsulation

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat

Bootstrapping parameters for the approximate homomorphic-encryption scheme of Cheon et al., CKKS (Asiacrypt 17), are usually instantiated using sparse secrets to be efficient. However, using sparse secrets constrains the range of practical parameters withi ...

Can automotive MEMS be reliably used in space applications? An assessment method under sequential bi-parameter testing

Volker Gass, Maxime Auchlin, Olha Sereda

Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) automotive inertial measurement units were subjected to severe accumulative stress conditions: thermal shocks (high temperature gradients), temperature cycling (low gradients) and mechanical vibration are combined in an A-th ...

Statistical Fatigue Investigation and Failure Prediction of a Healable Composite System

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Nathan Klaus Hostettler

Fiber reinforced polymers are massively used as an alternative to metals in structural applications. The brittle nature of their matrix, however, makes them more susceptible to crack formation and propagation resulting in costly repair operations and incre ...

Malfunction diagnosis of thermal power plants based on advanced exergy analysis: The case with multiple malfunctions occurring simultaneously

Ligang Wang

During continuous operation of energy systems, the performance of components will mostly, gradually deviate away from the reference conditions due to performance degradation, which may eventually lead to malfunctions or operation failure. The complex inter ...

Time-based failure analysis of compressed riverbank riprap

Anton Schleiss, Charles Pfister, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Methods to design riprap-lined channels usually refer to dumped material. Large blocks placed individually by machinery are used when more stability is required. They offer additional resistance against flow erosion since space between blocks is minimized ...

Time-dependent failure analysis of large block size riprap as bank protection in mountain rivers

Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Erodible river banks need to be safe against the possible scouring during flood events in mountain rivers. The consequences of the bank failure are probably lateral uncontrolled erosion and flooding with disastrous losses in residential areas or damage of ...

Techniques for Detection, Root Cause Diagnosis, and Classification of In-Production Concurrency Bugs

Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Concurrency bugs are at the heart of some of the worst bugs that plague software. Concurrency bugs slow down software development because it can take weeks or even months before developers can identify and fix them. In-production detection, root cause ...

Reliability Analysis of Data Storage Systems

Vinodh Venkatesan

Modern data storage systems are extremely large and consist of several tens or hundreds of nodes. In such systems, node failures are daily events, and safeguarding data from them poses a serious design challenge. The focus of this thesis is on the data rel ...

Cost-efficient and Differentiated Data Availability Guarantees in Data Clouds

Karl Aberer, Nicolas Bonvin

Failures of any type are common in current datacenters. As data scales up, its availability becomes more complex, while different availability levels per application or per data item may be required. In this paper, we propose a self- managed key-value stor ...
