Approximate Agreement is an important issue in faulttolerant distributed computing where non-faulty processes exchange and vote upon their local values, to arrive at values which are within the range of the initial values of the nonfaulty processes and within a predefined tolerance of each other. Results to date in Approximate Agreement, however, are not capable of exploiting omission faults. O...

[1] We use geodetic studies to quantify several cases of significant asymmetry in interseismic and coseismic effects along large continental strike-slip faults using simple two-dimensional edge dislocation models. We first show that asymmetric elastic loading characterizes the present Main Marmara Fault, a portion of the North Anatolian Fault along the northern margin of the Sea of Marmara. The...

Fault-based side-channel cryptanalysis is very effective against symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms. Although straightforward hardware and time redundancy-based concurrent error detection (CED) architectures can be used to thwart such attacks, they entail significant overheads (either area or performance). The authors investigate systematic approaches to low-cost low-latency CED tec...

Submarine cable faults are not uncommon events in the Internet today. However, their impacts on end-to-end path quality have received almost no attention. In this paper, we report path-quality measurement results for a recent SEA-ME-WE 4 cable fault in 2010. Our measurement methodology captures the path-quality degradation due to the cable fault, in terms of delay, asymmetric packet losses, and...

S U M M A R Y We examine the relations between spatial symmetry properties of earthquake patterns along faults in California (CA) and local velocity structure images to test the hypothesis that ruptures on bimaterial faults have statistically preferred propagation directions. The analysis employs seismic catalogues for 25 fault zones in CA. We distinguish between clustered and homogeneous parts...

[1] To better understand the asymmetric distribution of microearthquake aftershocks along the central San Andreas fault, we study dynamic models of slip-weakening ruptures on an interface separating differing elastic half-spaces. Subshear ruptures grow as slightly asymmetric bilateral cracks, with larger propagation velocities, slip velocities, and normal stress changes at the rupture front mov...

Fault injection attacks are a real-world threat to cryptosystems, in particular asymmetric cryptography. In this paper, we focus on countermeasures which guarantee the integrity of the computation result, hence covering most existing and future faults attacks. Namely, we study the modular extension protection scheme in previously existing and newly contributed variants of the countermeasure on ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN’s) fault tolerance is one of the most important critical issues. The difficulty of missing communication link, Node and data are ineluctably foreordained in WSN’s and due to assorted factors such as power drain, env...

Physical limits on ground-motion parameters can be estimated from spontaneous-rupture earthquake models but are subject to uncertainties in model parameters. We investigate physical limits at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, and assess sensitivities due to uncertainties in fault geometry, off-fault rock strength, the seismogenic depth, fault zone structure, and undrained poroelastic response of the flui...

A coupled inductor can optimize the weight of a DC/DC converter while performance characteristics are complicated. To reduce influence system fault and keep stable operation converter, fault-tolerant strategy is proposed. Firstly, mathematic model obtained to compare difference between normal converter. Then, an open-circuit process analyzed for detection. design proper control system, transfer...
