Kok, Wim (author)Power analysis can be used to retrieve key information as secure systems leak data-dependent information over side channels. A proposed solution to break the correlation between side channel information and secret information was to replace a vulnerable part of the cryptography implementation with a neural network. This uses the inherent...master thesis 2024

Bariş, Ahmet (author)In this thesis, a submerged inlet type for the engine core of the boundary layer ingesting APPU (Advanced Propulsion and Power Unit) is designed. The aim is to evaluate key geometric parameters that impact the flow field at the intake region by computing 3D CFD simulations. Various designs are created where entrance thickness, corner radius,...master thesis 2024
