Background: Data which are in the form of text, audio, image and video are used everywhere in our modern scientific world. These data are stored in physical storage, cloud storage and other storage devices. Some of it are very sensitive and requires efficient security while storing as well as in transmitting from the sender to the receiver. Objective: With the increase in data transfer operation, enough space is also required to store these data. Many researchers have been working to develop different encryption schemes, yet there exist many limitations in their works. There is always a need for encryption schemes with smaller cipher data, faster execution time and low computation cost. Methods: A text encryption based on Huffman coding and ElGamal cryptosystem is proposed. Initially, the text data is converted to its corresponding binary bits using Huffman coding. Next, the binary bits are grouped and again converted into large integer values which will be used as the input for the ElGamal cryptosystem. Results: Encryption and Decryption are successfully performed where the data size is reduced using Huffman coding and advance security with the smaller key size is provided by the ElGamal cryptosystem. Conclusion: Simulation results and performance analysis specifies that our encryption algorithm is better than the existing algorithms under consideration.

The solution of the problem of the deficit of voltage level for the complete unlocking of MOSFETs used as keys in the shunt circuits of the cells of the active balancing of ionistor storage devices is given. In particular, a revision of the widespread two-pole circuit of the active balancing cell of the ionistor consisting of a comparison circuit and a shunt circuit with a key on the MOSFET is presented. The relevance of the problem is confirmed by the results of the analysis of the characteristics of the key MOSFETs at the level of the unlocking voltage of 2.5...2.7 V from the output of the comparison circuit. It is shown that this voltage is not sufficient to provide the channel resistance corresponding to a fully open transistor and the flow of the specified shunt currents in the entire range of external influencing factors (VVF), especially when exposed to a reduced temperature from plus 15 to minus 60 °C. The solution presented in the paper for finalizing the circuit of the active balancing cell is that voltage boost circuits are introduced between the comparison node and the shunt circuit. Their use allows you to increase the voltage at the gate of the key MOSFET by two, three, four, etc. times, which ensures the reliable operation of the shunt circuit key for different shunt currents. A special feature of the developed cell circuits is the three-pole switching, in which an additional output is connected to the adjacent ionistor cell. This method of switching on the developed active balancing cells provides doubling of the unlocking voltage on the gate and is sufficient for reliable unlocking of the key on the MOSFET at all shunt currents at the level of the charging voltage of the ionistors in the storage device 2.5...2.7 V. For shunt currents of the order of tens of amperes, it is shown that it is necessary to switch to a quasi-four-pole switching of the developed active balancing cell due to the separation of the supply power circuits (measuring circuits) of the comparison circuit and the power buses of the level-up circuit with the shunt circuit. The methods of switching on the developed cells that allow multiplying the unlocking voltage at the gate of the key MOSFET by three, four or more times are shown. The schemes and criteria for the necessity of applying such inclusion are given. Practical testing of the developed three-pole and quasi-four-pole active balancing cells, carried out on the ionistor NEE of JSC “Elecond”, showed satisfactory stability and performance under the influence of the entire set of VVF.

The emergence of non-volatile memories (NVM) brings new opportunities and challenges to data management system design. As an important part of the data management systems, several new file systems are developed to take advantage of the characteristics of NVM. However, these NVM-aware file systems are usually designed and evaluated based on simulations or emulations. In order to explore the performance and characteristics of these file systems on real hardware, in this article, we provide an empirical evaluation of NVM-aware file systems on the first commercially available byte-addressable NVM (i.e., the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM)). First, to compare the performance difference between traditional file systems and NVM-aware file systems, we evaluate the performance of Ext4, XFS, F2FS, Ext4-DAX, XFS-DAX, and NOVA file systems on DCPMMs. To compare DCPMMs with other secondary storage devices, we also conduct the same evaluations on Optane SSDs and NAND-flash SSDs. Second, we observe how remote NUMA node access and device mapper striping affect the performance of DCPMMs. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the database (i.e., MySQL) on DCPMMs with Ext4 and Ext4-DAX file systems. We summarize several observations from the evaluation results and performance analysis. We anticipate that these observations will provide implications for various memory and storage systems.

To protect against brute force attacks, modern password-based authentication systems usually employ mechanisms known as Password Hashing Schemes (PHS). Basically, a PHS is a cryptographic algorithm that generates a sequence of pseudorandom bits from a user-defined password, allowing the user to configure the computational costs involved in the process aiming to raise the costs of attackers testing multiple passwords trying to guess the correct one. In this context, the goal of this research effort is to propose a novel and superior PHS alternative. Specifically, the objective is to improve the Lyra algorithm, a PHS built upon cryptographic sponges whose project counted with the authors' participation. The resulting solution, called Lyra2, preserves the efficiency and flexibility of Lyra, and it brings important improvements when compared to its predecessor: (1) it allows a higher security level against attack venues involving time-memory trade-offs; (2) it includes tweaks for increasing the costs involved in the construction of dedicated hardware to attack; (3) it balances resistance against side-channel threats and attacks relying on cheaper (and, hence, slower) storage devices. Besides describing the algorithm's design rationale in detail, the thesis also includes a detailed analysis of its security and performance.

Bioelectronic devices have been researched widely because of their potential applications, such as information storage devices, biosensors, diagnosis systems, organism-mimicking processing system cell chips, and neural-mimicking systems. Introducing biomolecules including proteins, DNA, and RNA on silicon-based substrates has shown the powerful potential for granting various functional properties to chips, including specific functional electronic properties. Until now, to extend and improve their properties and performance, organic and inorganic materials such as graphene and gold nanoparticles have been combined with biomolecules. In particular, bionanohybrid materials that are composed of biomolecules and other materials have been researched because they can perform core roles of information storage and signal processing in bioelectronic devices using the unique properties derived from biomolecules. This review discusses bioelectronic devices related to computation systems such as biomemory, biologic gates, and bioprocessors based on bionanohybrid materials with a selective overview of recent research. This review contains a new direction for the development of bioelectronic devices to develop biocomputation systems using biomolecules in the future.

Micro-Grid (MG) systems have been extensively studied and deployed to lower the power consumption while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. Although, the challenge with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is their uncertain and intermittent nature, things that led the researchers to think about integrating storage devices, especially batteries, into MG systems. The main aim is to store the excess of produced energy for further usage when not enough energy is available. Nevertheless, batteries modeling and characterization is mandatory to identify their parameters and study their performance within MG systems. Moreover, in order to continuously supply electricity to the building, it is required to figure out the optimum size of energy production systems and storage devices. This paper introduces a methodology for MG modeling and performance evaluation. Its main contribution is twofold, i) battery’s parameters identification, and ii) modeling and dimensioning method for both standalone and MG systems. An instrumentation platform, composed of recent sensing and actuating equipment, for MG energy management and battery characterization is developed. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Cryptography is the core method utilized to protect the communications between different applications, terminals, and agents distributed worldwide and connected via the internet. Yet, with the distribution of the low-energy and low-storage devices, in the Internet-of-Things (IoT), the cryptography protocols cannot be implemented because of the power constraints or because the implementation is beyond the time constraints that hindered their usability of these protocols in real-time critical applications. To solve this problem, an Adaptive Multi-Application Cryptography System is proposed in this paper. The proposed system consists of the requirements identifier and the implementer, implemented on the application and transportation layer. The requirement identifier examines the header of the data, determines the underlying application and its type. The requirements are then identified and encoded according to four options: high, moderate, low, and no security requirements. The inputs are processed, and ciphertext is produced based on the identified requirements and the suitable cryptography algorithm. The results showed that the proposed system reduces the delay by 97% relative to the utilized algorithms' upper-bound delay. Keywords: Cryptography, symmetric key encryption, block cipher, delay and performance, quantum computing.
