Computing systems are consuming an increasing and unsustainable fraction of society's energy footprint, notably in data centers. Meanwhile, energy-efficient software engineering techniques are often absent from undergraduate curricula. We propose to develop a learning module for energy-efficient software, suitable for incorporation into an undergraduate software engineering class. There is one major problem with such an endeavor: undergraduate curricula have limited space for mastering energy-related systems programming aspects. To address this problem, we propose to leverage the domain expertise afforded by large language models (LLMs). In our preliminary studies, we observe that LLMs can generate energy-efficient variations of basic linear algebra …

Towards Analysable Chaos-Based Cryptosystems: Constructing Difference Distribution Tables For Chaotic Maps, Je Sen Teh, Abubakar Abba
Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering
Chaos-based cryptography has yet to achieve practical, real-world applications despite extensive research. A major challenge is the difficulty in analysing the security of these cryptosystems, which often appear ad hoc in design. Unlike conventional cryptography, evaluating the security margins of chaos-based encryption against attacks such as differential cryptanalysis is complex. This paper introduces a straightforward approach of using chaotic maps in cryptographic algorithms in a way that facilitates cryptanalysis. We demonstrate how a chaos-based substitution function can be constructed using fixed-point representation, enabling the application of conventional cryptanalysis tools such as the difference distribution table. As a proof-of-concept, we apply …
