  • Patent number: 11797667
    Abstract: Various examples are provided related to software and hardware architectures that enable lightweight and real-time Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack detection. In one example, among others, a method for detection and localization of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks includes detecting, by a router of an intellectual property (IP) core in a network-on-chip (NoC) based system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, a compromised packet stream based at least in part upon a packet arrival curve (PAC) associated with the router; identifying, by the IP core, a candidate IP core in the NoC as a potential attacker based at least in part upon a destination packet latency curve (DLC) associated with the IP core; and transmitting, by the router, a notification message indicating that the candidate IP core is the potential attacker to a router of the candidate IP core.

  • Patent number: 11800205
    Abstract: Provided is a camera system to obtain high resolution imagery on multiple regions of interest even when the regions of interest are ate different focal depths and in different viewing directions. Embodiments include a high speed camera that operates by reflecting a beam of interest corresponding to a scene of interest into a high-speed passive sensor from a dynamic optical modulator. Embodiments described herein provide a foveating camera design that distributes resolution onto regions of interest by imaging reflections off a scanning micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) mirror. MEMS mirrors are used herein to modulate viewing direction. Embodiments include a camera capturing reflections off of a tiny, fast moving mirror.

  • Patent number: 11797736
    Abstract: A method of obfuscating a circuit design includes, in part, receiving a netlist of the circuit design, splitting the circuit design into a multitude of partitions, transforming each partitions so as to obfuscate each partition, and stitching the multitude of transformed partitions to form the obfuscated circuit. The netlist may be a register transfer level netlist. The number and the size of partitions may vary. The partitions may be distributed throughout the entirety of the design. The method may further include generating a randomized circuit associated with at least a subset of the partitions, and merging each partition with the partition's associated randomized circuit. The method may further include quantifying the amount of transformation associated with each partition. The method may further include adding a first key to at least one of the obfuscated partitions, and adding a second key to the partition's associated randomized circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230330917
    Abstract: A polymer three-dimensional (3D) printing methodology is disclosed for freeform fabrication of polymeric structures under ambient conditions without the use of printed support structures. The build material can be dissolved in a suitable solvent for 3D printing. The polymer solution can be printed in (e.g., continuously printed using a moving dispensing nozzle) a yield-stress support bath to form an intermediate article. The intermediate article may be liquid or only partially coagulated after being printed into the yield-stress support bath. The yield-stress support bath may be at least partially disposed within a container, and the container may be immersed in a post-treatment coagulation solution to remove some or all of the solvent, causing the build material to fully solidify to form a finished article from the intermediate article.

  • Patent number: 11776093
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to generate a frequency map representing a density of objects found in regions of a sample that may be used in setting parameters for imaging the regions. Various embodiments involve binarizing the pixels for a raw image of the sample to transform the image into binary data. Run-length encoded components are identified from the data for dimensions of the raw image. Each component is a length of a sequence of adjacent pixels found in a dimension with the same value in the binary data. A projection of the image is then generated from projection values for the dimensions. Each projection value provides a measure of the density of objects present in a dimension with respect to the components identified for the dimension. This projection is used to identify a level of density for each region of the sample from which the frequency map is generated.

  • Patent number: 11775693
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for test pattern generation to detect a hardware Trojan using delay-based analysis. One such method comprises determining a set of initial test patterns to activate the hardware Trojan within an integrated circuit design; and generating a set of succeeding test patterns to activate the hardware Trojan within the integrated circuit design using a reinforcement learning model. The set of initial test patterns can be applied as an input to the reinforcement learning model. Further, the reinforcement learning model can be trained with a stochastic learning scheme to increase a probability of triggering one or more rare nodes in the integrated circuit design and identify optimal test vectors to maximize delay-based side-channel sensitivity when the hardware Trojan is activated in the integrated circuit design. Other methods and systems are also provided.
