  • Method for preventing differential cryptanalysis attack
    Patent number: 11520934
    Abstract: A method for preventing a differential cryptanalysis attack is provided. The method is implemented by an adaptive scan chain, a control module, and a plaintext analysis module. The plaintext analysis module controls the adaptive scan chain, so that two plaintexts differing in the last bit of only one byte are input through scan chains with different structures. Consequently, the two input plaintexts for which differential cryptanalysis attack technology originally can be used to crack the key are unable to generate outputs that can be used by the differential cryptanalysis attack technology.

  • Driver-initiated disengagement of autonomous vehicle controls
    Patent number: 11518415
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a selective disengagement mechanism that allows a vehicle passenger, e.g., driver, to pre-emptively prepare to override autonomous control of a vehicle. A selective disengagement switch may be actuated by the driver. An autonomous control system of the vehicle, unaware of the selective disengagement switch operation, may at some point erroneously command the vehicle to move. Because the driver has actuated the selective disengagement switch, upon receipt of the erroneous command to move the vehicle, the autonomous control system may be overridden. The driver need not react to a safety-critical event or scenario.
