for the mean-square quantizing error where N is the. number of level&p(x) is the probability density of the input, and E’(x) is the slope of the compressor curve. The formula, an approximation based on the assumption that the number of levels is large and overI& distortion is negligible, is a useful tool for analytical studies of quantfzation.

The use of fixed-block error recovery, which combines frequent validation and partial recomputation, to address the problem of transient faults in elliptic curve scalar multiplication was proposed earlier and its advantages in terms of efficiency and reliability were illustrated. However, in order to maximize its advantages, the selection of the block size has to be optimized, which requires kn...
