Reference Data Set of Human Skin Reflectance

June 7, 2017
Author(s)
Catherine C. Cooksey, David W. Allen, Benjamin K. Tsai
This data set contains 100 reference reflectance spectra of human skin, spanning the wavelength region from 250 nm to 2500 nm. The spectra were acquired with a commercial spectrophotometer and are directly traceable to the national scale for directional

Weak is Better: Tightly Secure Short Signatures from Weak PRFs

June 7, 2017
Author(s)
Jacob M. Alperin-Sheriff, Daniel Apon
The Boyen-Li signature scheme [Asiacrypt'16] is a major theoretical breakthrough. Via a clever homomorphic evaluation of a pseudorandom function over their verification key, they achieve a reduction loss in security linear in the underlying security

A Review of the IEEE 1785 Standards for Rectangular Waveguides above 110 GHz

June 6, 2017
Author(s)
Ronald A. Ginley, Nick M. Ridler
A new series of standards has recently been published by IEEE defining waveguide for use at millimeter-wave and terahertz frequencies. The series comprises three standards covering different aspects of this technology: (i) frequency bands and waveguide

Automation Support for Security Control Assessments, Volume 1: Overview

June 6, 2017
Author(s)
Kelley L. Dempsey, Paul Eavy, George Moore
This volume introduces concepts to support automated assessment of most of the security controls in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53. Referencing SP 800-53A, the controls are divided into more granular parts (determination statements) to be assessed

Fast Updating Multipole Coulombic Potential Calculation

June 6, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas Hoft, Bradley Alpert
We present a numerical method to efficiently and accurately re-compute the Coulomb potential of a large ensemble of charged particles after a subset of the particles undergoes a change of position. Errors are bounded even after a large number of such

Identification of machine tool geometric performance using on-machine inertial measurements

June 6, 2017
Author(s)
Gregory W. Vogl, Radu Pavel, Andreas Archenti, Thomas J. Winnard, Matlock M. Mennu, Brian A. Weiss, Alkan Donmez
Machine tools degrade during operations, yet accurately detecting degradation of machine components such as linear axes is typically a manual and time-consuming process. Thus, manufacturers need automated and efficient methods to diagnose the condition of

Resonant Acoustic Frequency Shifts Associated with Cracks in Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors

June 6, 2017
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Jaemi Herzberger, Sudook A. Kim, Kirsten L. Peterson, Paul R. Heyliger, Grady S. White
Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) was used in this study to measure shifts in resonant frequency that arise from the presence of cracks in barium-titanate-based multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). This work was motivated by an industrial need for

First-Order Reversal Curves of the Magnetostructural Transition in FeTe

June 5, 2017
Author(s)
M. K. Frampton, J. Crocker, Dustin A. Gilbert, N. Curro, Kai Liu, J. A. Schneeloch, G. D. Gu, R. J. Zieve
We apply the first-order reversal curve (FORC) method, borrowed from studies of ferromagnetic materials, to the magneto-structural phase transition of Fe 1+yTe. FORC measurements reveal two features in the hysteretic phase transition, even in samples where

Interface-induced phenomena in magnetism

June 5, 2017
Author(s)
Frances Hellman, Axel Hoffmann, Yaroslav Tserkovnyak, Geoffrey S. Beach, Eric E. Fullerton, C. Leighton, Allan H. MacDonald, Daniel C. Ralph, Dario A. Arena, Hermann A. Duerr, Peter Fischer, Julie Grollier, Joseph P. Heremans, Tomas Jungwirth, alexay V. Kimel, Bert Koopmans, Ilya N. Krivorotov, Steven J. May, Amanda K. Petford-Long, James M. Rondinelli, Nitin Samarth, Ivan K. Schuller, Andrei N. Slavin, Mark D. Stiles, Oleg Tchernyshyov, Andre Thiaville, Barry L. Zink
This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing in particular on the current explosion in interfacially-driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and intrinsic symmetry breaking at

An Updated Security Analysis of PFLASH

June 4, 2017
Author(s)
Ryann Cartor, Daniel Smith-Tone
One application in post-quantum cryptography that appears especially difficult is security for low-power or no-power devices. One of the early champions in this arena was SFLASH, which was recommended by NESSIE for implementation in smart cards due to its

BUSINESS PROCESS MODEL LIFE-CYCLE MANAGEMENT IN CLOUD MANUFACTURING

June 4, 2017
Author(s)
Miroslav Ljubicic, Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Scott Nieman, Nenad Anicic, Zoran Marjanovic
Business processes will play an important role in the realization of sustainable service-oriented manufacturing (SOM). In this paper, we propose a business process catalog to support that role. Such a catalog can facilitate both the life-cycle management

Key Recovery Attack for All Parameters of HFE-

June 4, 2017
Author(s)
Jeremy Vates, Daniel Smith-Tone
Recently, by an interesting confluence, multivariate schemes with the minus modifier have received attention as candidates for multivariate encryption. Among these candidates is the twenty year old HFE – scheme originally envisioned as a possible candidate

Key Recovery Attack for ZHFE

June 4, 2017
Author(s)
Daniel Cabarcas, Daniel Smith-Tone, Javier A. Verbel
At PQCRYPTO 2014, Porras, Baena and Ding introduced ZHFE, an interesting new technique for multivariate post-quantum encryption. The scheme is a generalization of HFE in which a single low degree polynomial in the central map is replaced by a pair of high

Observation and Impact of a "Surface Skin Effect" on Lateral Growth of Nanocrystals

June 3, 2017
Author(s)
Babak Nikoobakht, Elias J. Garratt, Paola Prete, Nico Lovergine
We investigate the impact of a quasi-crystalline two (2D) dimensional surface on the lateral epitaxy of one-dimensional (1D) nanocrystals. The quasi-2D surface was formed by locally conditioning a crystalline lattice at- and below-surface using a low dose

A System and Architecture for Reusable Abstractions of Manufacturing Processes

Author(s)
Li Chen, Dirk Schwarzer, Varun Verma, Martin Stevens, Francesco F. Marsili, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Alec M. Wodtke
In contrast to UV photomultiplier tubes widely used in physical chemistry, mid- infrared detectors are notorious for poor sensitivity and slow time response. This helps explain why, despite the importance of infrared spectroscopy in molecular science, mid
