A Model Of Qos Differentiation Burst Assembly With Padding For Improving The Performance Of Obs Networks, Viet Minh Nhat Vo, Van Hoa Le, Hoang Son Nguyen, Manh Thanh Le

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Burst assembly is an operation at the ingress node of optical burst switching (OBS) networks that aggregates incoming packets from various access networks into larger carriers, called bursts. Depending on the density of incoming packets and the preset time or length thresholds, the completed bursts may have various lengths, but they must be at least equal to a minimum value ($B_{\min})$ to facilitate the switching in existing physical optical switches. If a completed burst is smaller than $B_{\min}$, it should be padded by padded bytes and it results in bandwidth utilization inefficiency. One solution to the problem is increasing the …

Cache-Timing Attacks Without A Profiling Phase, Ali̇ Can Atici, Cemal Yilmaz, Erkay Savaş Jan 2018

Cache-Timing Attacks Without A Profiling Phase, Ali̇ Can Atici, Cemal Yilmaz, Erkay Savaş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Theoretically secure cryptographic algorithms can be vulnerable to attacks due to their implementation flaws. Bernstein's attack is a well-known cache-timing attack that uses execution times as the side-channel. The major drawback of this attack is that it needs an identical target machine to perform its profiling phase where the attacker models the cache timing-behavior of the target machine. This assumption makes the attack unrealistic in many circumstances. In this work, we present an effective method to eliminate the profiling phase. We propose a methodology to model the cache timing-behavior of the target machine by trying hypothetical cache behaviors exhaustively. Our …

Reducing Power System Model Dimensions Based On Linearization For Static Analysis, Farid Karbalaei, Maryam Jebreilzadeh, Hamidreza Shahbazi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A reliable solution for determining the effect of a group of contingencies on a power system is to simulate all of them through load flow. It is impossible to simulate any detailed cases through a complete AC load flow solution because of the high number of possible contingencies. For this reason, system dimension reduction methods, which are based on an equivalent of one part of a system, are being used. In this paper we compare our previously proposed network equivalent method with the 2 well-known equivalent methods of Ward and Ward-PV in terms of solving speed and accuracy. The proposed …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A novel decoder-based single-inductor eight-channel light-emitting diode (LED) driver circuit for low power display backlight applications has been proposed. Uniform brightness in the display provides better picture clarity, which can be achieved by providing uniform DC currents to all channels in the backlight arrangement. Existing systems use individual current regulators for each channel, which fails to provide uniform current to individual channels. Instead, uniform current is provided to all eight channels in the proposed system as the same current is distributed to all channels using time-multiplexing by a 3 $\times $ 8 decoder and a 3-bit binary up-counter. A digital …
