With the advance of autonomous systems, security is becoming most crucial feature in different domains, highlighting need for protection against potential attacks. Mitigation these types attacks can be achieved using embedded cryptography algorithms, which differ performance, area, and reliability. This paper compares hardware implementations eXtended Tiny Encryption Algorithm (XTEA) Advanced S...

The great quest for adopting AI-based computation safety-/mission-critical applications motivates the interest towards methods assessing robustness of application w.r.t. not only its training/tuning but also errors due to faults, in particular soft errors, affecting underlying hardware. Two strategies exist: architecture-level fault injection and application-level functional error simulation. W...

Soft-decision decoding of linear error correcting codes, using a quantised or real number soft metric such as Euclidean distance, has been well understood for over 40 years. The output of a minimum soft distance decoder is the codeword (in the case of a block code) or code sequence (for a convolutional code) closest in distance to the soft word or sequence received from the channel and input to...

The generalization properties of support vector machines (SVMs) are examined. From a geometrical point of view, the estimated parameter of an SVM is the one nearest the origin in the convex hull formed with given examples. Since introducing soft margins is equivalent to reducing the convex hull of the examples, an SVM with soft margins has a different learning curve from the original. In this p...

| A novel approach for optimum cancellation of postcursors in reduced{state soft{ output trellis{based equalizers is presented. The newly introduced soft decision{feedback is optimum in terms of mean{squared error and enables signiicantly improved soft{output quality .

This paper describes a soft-error tolerant and marginenhanced nMOS-pMOS reversed 6T SRAM cell. The 6T SRAM bitcell comprises pMOS access and driver transistors, and nMOS load transistors. Therefore, the nMOS and pMOS masks are reversed in comparison with those of a conventional bitcell. In scaled process technology, The pMOS transistors present advantages of small random dopant fluctuation, str...
