We propose a four-tiered parallelization model for acceleration of the secure multiparty computation (SMC) on the CUDA based Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) cluster architecture. Specification layer is the top layer, which adopts the SFDL of Fairplay for specification of secure computations. The SHDL file generated by the SFDL compiler of Fairplay is used as inputs to the function layer, for whic...

Scalable Distributed Data Structures (SDDS) need scalable availability. This can be provided through replication, which is storage intensive, or through the use of Erasure Correcting Codes (ECC) to provide redundancy, which is more complicated. We calculate availability under both strategies and show that redundancy through use of an ECC implies significantly less overhead. We introduce a gener...

Early childhood caries (ECC) has been regarded as one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in early childhood. Many studies show ECC was often neglected and most of the decay was left untreated [1]. Early treatment of ECC is important because untreated caries can lead to pain, sepsis and spreading infection, malnutrition due to the inability to eat, and poor general health. Children with seve...

With elliptic curve cryptography emerging as a serious alternative, the desired level of security can be attained with significantly smaller key sizes. This makes ECC very attractive for small-footprint devices with limited computational capability, memory and low-bandwidth network connections. However ECC is still considered to be impracticable for very low-end constrained devices like sensor ...

Multi-class AdaBoost algorithms AdaBooost.MO, -ECC and -OC have received a great attention in the literature, but their relationships have not been fully examined to date. In this paper, we present a novel interpretation of the three algorithms, by showing that MO and ECC perform stage-wise functional gradient descent on a cost function defined over margin values, and that OC is a shrinkage ver...

California State University, East Bay, Hayward, CA, USA Summary A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) consists of multiple wireless mobile devices that form a network on the fly to allow communication with each other without any infrastructure. Due to its nature, providing security in this network is challenging. Threshold Cryptography (TC) provides a promise of securing this network. In this paper, ...

Objectives: To compare the frequency of complications presented by patients during the immediate postoperative period (IPP) for cardiac surgery, based on the time of extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and correlational study with 83 adult patients, divided into two groups according to the time of ECC. Results: Of the total patients, 44 (53%) had an ECC durati...

BACKGROUND Neurological and/or neuropsychological damages are important complications of cardiosurgical interventions. This study determined if the timing of the electroretinographic (ERG) ocular exam can assess intraoperative brain damage of patients supported by extracorporeal circulation (ECC) during cardiosurgical interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors illustrate an ERG techniqu...

The point of this paper is to create a basis for apply efficient encryption schemes in wireless communications and in devices with low computing power and resources. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) fits well for an efficient and secure encryption scheme. It is more efficient than the traditional integer based RSA schemes because ECC utilizes smaller key sizes for equivalent security. A compar...

Commodity off-the-shelf GPUs lack error checking mechanisms for graphics memory, whereas conventional HPC platforms have used hardware-based ECC for DRAMs. To alleviate this reliability concern, we propose a software-based ECC for GPGPU applications. We add small program codes to normal CUDA programs that compute ECCs for data residing in graphics memory so that transient bit-flips can be detec...
