The paper introduces a novel iterative method that assigns a reputation to n + m items: n raters and m objects. Each rater evaluates a subset of objects leading to a n × m rating...
In this paper, we examine the digital hardware design and implementation of a novel compact block cipher, referred to as PUFFIN, that is suitable for embedded applications. An imp...
— Timing synchronization is a preeminent challenge in ultra-wideband impulse radios (UWB-IRs). The conventional all-digital synchronization methods encounter some formidable impl...
