  • Publication number: 20250038977
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects and implementations are directed to systems and techniques for protecting cryptographic operations against side-channel attacks. In one example, polynomials associated with secret data and public data defined on a working domain having a first dimension are mapped to an auxiliary domain having a larger second dimension. The mapped polynomials are masked using masking polynomials associated with a kernel of a homomorphism transformation from the auxiliary domain to the working domain. One or more computations are then performed on the masked polynomials in the auxiliary domain and an output is transformed from the auxiliary domain to the working domain.

  • Patent number: 12193676
    Abstract: A system for treating an aneurysm comprises an elongate flexible shaft and an expandable member. An expandable scaffold is disposed over the expandable member and may be expanded from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. A double-walled filling structure is disposed over the scaffold and has an outer wall and an inner wall. The filling structure is adapted to be filled with a hardenable fluid filing medium so that the outer wall conforms to an inside surface of the aneurysm and the inner wall forms a substantially tubular lumen to provide a path for blood flow. In the expanded configuration the scaffold engages the inner wall of the filling structure. A tether is releasably coupled with the filling structure and the flexible shaft thereby constraining axial movement of the structures relative to each other.
