The TPP Is Dead, Long Live the TPP? A Response to Recent Commentaries

Object-based Audio Reproduction and the Audio Scene Description Format

The introduction of new techniques for audio reproduction such as HRTF-based technology, wave field synthesis and higher-order Ambisonics is accompanied by a paradigm shift from channel-based to object-based transmission and storage of spatial audio. Not only is the separate coding of source signal and source location more efficient considering the number of channels used for reproduction by la...

Distance Is Dead , Long Live Distance

For many educators, the phrase ‘from distance education to e-learning’ conjures up the view of an ‘evolutionary’ progression beginning with correspondence study and developed through more sophisticated technologies to its current identification with computers, the Internet, and the World Wide Web. For others, particularly those with little knowledge or experience of (and often equally little in...

KASLR is Dead: Long Live KASLR

Modern operating system kernels employ address space layout randomization (ASLR) to prevent control-flow hijacking attacks and code-injection attacks. While kernel security relies fundamentally on preventing access to address information, recent attacks have shown that the hardware directly leaks this information. Strictly splitting kernel space and user space has recently been proposed as a th...

Audio watermarking for live performance

Audio watermarking has been used mainly for digitally stored content. Using real-time watermark embedding, its coverage can be extended to live broadcasts and live performances. In general, a conventional embedding algorithm receives a host signal (HS) and outputs the summation of the HS and a watermark signal (WS). However, when applied to real-time embedding, there are two problems: (1) delay...
