“Please Ensure the Gate is Properly Closed”: Questioning the Swiss Presence in Apartheid South Africa Through the Swiss Social Club in Cape Town

It’s a special type of Swiss enclave that Denise Bertschi came across in South Africa in 2018: the Swiss Social & Sports Club welcomes Cape Town’s Swiss ex-pat community and temporary visitors to sit back and relax, be they businesspeople, bankers, or fina ...

Boundary Stabilization of Focusing NLKG near Unstable Equilibria: Radial Case

Joachim Krieger, Shengquan Xiang

We investigate the stability and stabilization of the cubic focusing Klein-Gordon equation around static solutions on the closed ball in

\mathbb{R}^3

. First we show that the system is linearly unstable near the static solution

Generic Round-Function-Recovery Attacks for Feistel Networks over Small Domains

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

Feistel Networks (FN) are now being used massively to encrypt credit card numbers through format-preserving encryption. In our work, we focus on FN with two branches, entirely unknown round functions, modular additions (or other group operations), and when ...

Lower Bounds on Regret for Noisy Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a black-box function

f

based on noisy samples and bandit feedback. We assume that

f

is smooth in the sense of having a bounded norm in some reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), yield ...

Optimal solution and asymptotic properties of a stochastic control problem arising in sailboat trajectory optimization

Carlo Ciccarella

We study the optimal strategy for a sailboat to reach an upwind island under the hypothesis that the wind direction fluctuates according to a Brownian motion and the wind speed is constant. The work is motivated by a concrete problem which typically arises ...

Method and Procedure in Metal Detection and Distinctive Discrimination of Size, Shape, and Location of Hidden Single and Multi-Material Targets

Chafic Abu Antoun

This work provides a procedure and methodology for the design of an electro-magnetic sensor based on induction due to ferromagnetic and pure electrically conduc-tive hidden targets. The electromagnetic sensor is made of one or several excitation coils, whi ...

Breaking the FF3 Format Preserving Encryption

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

The NIST standard FF3 scheme (also known as BPS scheme) is a tweakable block cipher based on a 8-round Feistel Network. We break it with a practical attack. Our attack exploits the bad domain separation in FF3 design. The attack works with chosen plaintext ...

Breaking The FF3 Format-Preserving Encryption Standard Over Small Domains

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a Format-Preserving Encryption standard accepting two Feistel structure based schemes called FF1 and FF3. Particularly, FF3 is a tweakable block cipher based on an 8-round Feistel ...
