چکیده

Our work presents the most recent developments in instrumental and DSP melodic reproduction of Byzantine music. This specific musical system is a Delta musical structure with a “thinner” microtonal scale partition of the well-known European scale and therefore new notes are involved. Apart from the tonality distribution, in Byzantine music Delta notation, transitional patterns appear stating qualitative ways for the ascent or descent of prosodic pitch. This paper describes apart from a hardware piano-like implementation of the exact tonal distribution, software protocols and interfaces of this complex musical surface that enable DSP systems to reproduce with synthetic voice realizations the pitch, timbre and prosody of a real Byzantine singer. Key-Words: Delta Musical Systems, Byzantine Music, Musical Synthesizers, MIDI Protocol, Formant Synthesizers, Physical Modeling.

Threshold Implementation as a Countermeasure against Power Analysis Attacks

One of the usual ways to find sensitive data or secret parameters of cryptographic devices is to use their physical leakages. Power analysis is one of the attacks which lay in such a model. In comparison with other types of side-channels, power analysis is so efficient and has a high success rate. So it is important to provide a countermeasure against it. Different types of countermeasures use ...
