In recent years, encrypted databases have emerged as a promising direction that provides data confidentiality without sacrificing functionality: queries are executed on encrypted data. However, existing practical proposals rely on a set of weak encryption schemes that have been shown to leak sensitive data. In this paper, we propose Arx, the first practical and functionally rich database system...

This paper introduces a new robust-control-oriented system identification method, which consists of the following three steps: 1. High-order ARX model identification; 2. Loop shaping weighting functions design based on the high-order ARX model; 3. Control-oriented model reduction by minimizing the weighted L2-gap between the high-order ARX model and the low-order model. This method truly integr...

Abstract. We present a new approach for iris recognition based on stochastic autoregressive models with exogenous input (ARX). Iris recognition is a method to identify persons, based on the analysis of the eye iris. A typical iris recognition system is composed of four phases: image acquisition and preprocessing, iris localization and extraction, iris features characterization, and comparison a...

The novel Aristaless related homeobox gene, ARX, is widely expressed in the brain and is thought to play a key role in the regulation of brain development. Neurological phenotypes caused by ARX mutations have recently started to unfold. We describe a 72 year old man with X-linked mental retardation due to a 24 bp duplication mutation in exon 2 of the ARX gene. Cerebral MRI showed bilateral cyst...

This paper considers modeling and control problems of the non-stationary nonlinear processes whose dynamics depends on the working point. A hybrid RBF-ARX model-based predictive control (MPC) strategy without resorting to on-line parameter estimation for this kind of processes is presented. The RBF-ARX model is composed of the RBF networks and a rather general form of ARX model, which is identi...

a new ARX-Laguerre representation is recently built to model the dynamics of complex processes [1, 2]. The ARX-Laguerre models have proven their ability to accurately suit the behavior of systems. In this work, the model is exploited to diagnose the system by detecting its defaults. In this paper we build a proportional observer based on the ARX-Laguerre model. Therefore, the designed observer ...

We introduce tuple cryptanalysis, a variant of structural cryptanalysis techniques as square, saturation, integral, internal collision, or multiset cryptanalysis, the main difference being that tuple cryptanalysis considers ordered rather than unordered multisets. This allows cryptanalysts to better trace structural properties within a cipher’s internal state. Unlike previous works that focus o...

Genetic investigations of X-linked mental retardation have demonstrated the implication of ARX in a wide spectrum of disorders extending from phenotypes with severe neuronal migration defects, such as lissencephaly, to mild or moderate forms of mental retardation without apparent brain abnormalities, but with associated features of dystonia and epilepsy. These investigations have in recent year...

TEA (Tiny Encryption Algorithm) is a block cipher with simple ARX (addition, rotation, exclusive-OR) based Feistel network, designed for both hardware and software scenario. Inspired by the auto search algorithm for ARX cipher introduced by Biryukov and Velichkov in 2014, we proposed an improved version of auto search algorithm for ARX cipher and verified in block cipher TEA. By introducing a s...
