Defensive Publications Series

An Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) embodies the fundamental component of a telescope. In OTAs used for astronomical telescopes- as well as those for rifle scopes and photographic lens optical systems- embodiments often include threaded assemblies for ease of use and obvious utility to the user. Unlike optical tube assemblies like those used in riflescopes and camera lenses, which use threaded designs for selective functions, this invention consolidates fixturing, adjustment, and light scatter management into a single, integrated design which can be assembled and disassembled by hand, reducing or eliminating the need of additional tools for assembly, adjustments and maintenance, and …

Ai Code Canaries For Binaries And Firmware, Ray Van Hoose

Defensive Publications Series

Abstract

Firmware, the low-level software embedded in hardware devices, is critical for system security and functionality. Compromised firmware can have severe consequences, particularly as the prevalence of IoT and embedded systems increases. Traditional software security techniques are often inadequate due to the binary nature, resource constraints, and close hardware interaction inherent to firmware. This paper extends the "Code Canary" concept, proposing a novel adaptation for firmware integrity verification using AI-driven techniques to generate binary canaries. We explore the generation, embedding, and detection of these canaries within firmware images using binary analysis techniques such as Control Flow Graphs (CFGs) and Data …

Region-Based Cross-Component Prediction Parameter Derivation, Xiang Li, Debargha Mukherjee

Defensive Publications Series

Region-based cross-component prediction parameter derivation improves convolutional cross-component mode (CCCM) prediction by enabling filter coefficients for predicting chroma samples from luma samples to be derived for an entire region of a frame of a video stream, such as a coding tree unit (CTU), rather than requiring that such filter coefficients be derived for each individual coding unit (CU). Deriving the filter coefficients for an entire region instead of for each individual CU under processing significantly reduces the latency in video coding and thus enables CCCM prediction to be used in hardware coders. The filter coefficients for the region are derived …

Techniques To Facilitate Hitless Recovery From A Flash Single Event Upset (Seu) Error Through Virtualization, Jay Yoo, Mike Thornburg, Mark Chu, Daniel I Walker, Vinod Cherukatt, Son P Le, Jason F Haase, Ramesh Yeevani, Manish Agarwal
