Moonen, Djoshua (author)Payment channels allow parties to utilize the blockchain to send transactions for a cheaper fee. Previous work has analyzed to which degree a party can profit by facilitating the transaction process. The aim is to increase the usability of the network and to be rewarded for providing this service. However, previous work focuses on maximizing the...master thesis 2023

Savu, Ioana (author)Side-channel attacks (SCA) play a crucial role in assessing the security of the implementation of cryp- tographic algorithms. Still, traditional profiled attacks require a nearly identical reference device to the target, limiting their practicality. This thesis focuses on non-profiled SCA, which provides a re- alistic alternative when the...master thesis 2023

Penning, Thijs (author)Gaze estimation is an important area of research used in a wide range of applications. However, existing models trained for gaze estimation often suffer from high computational costs. In this study, frequency domain channel selection techniques were explored to decrease these costs by reducing the size of the input data. The main research...bachelor thesis 2023

Jonk, Jasper (author)Due to trends such as the Internet of Things, there has been a growing number of devices that use wireless technologies for communication. This increase leads to bandwidth limitations that forced researchers to explore other types of wireless communication. One of these alternatives is Visible Light Communication (VLC). VLC encodes data by...master thesis 2023

Pektaş, Mehmet (author)A water electrolyzer is an electrochemical device that produces hydrogen and oxygen from water via electricity. A sustainable way of producing hydrogen with renewable electricity, also known as green hydrogen, could enable its use in decarbonisation of sectors that depend on fossil fuels. However, to scale up the production of green hydrogen,...master thesis 2023

van Horick, Quintes (author)The awareness of climate change has grown worldwide in the past years. Possible consequences of climate change are sea level rise, heavier storms and high river discharges, but also prolonged drought. For a country such as the Netherlands, these water level variations, high discharges and droughts could have a great impact. Therefore, solutions...master thesis 2023

Perin, G. (author), Wu, L. (author), Picek, S. (author)The adoption of deep neural networks for profiling side-channel attacks opened new perspectives for leakage detection. Recent publications showed that cryptographic implementations featuring different countermeasures could be broken without feature selection or trace preprocessing. This success comes with a high price: an extensive...journal article 2023

Gao, Weilun (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author), Miao, Chiyuan (author), Cui, Baoshan (author), Shao, Dongdong (author)A river bifurcation is critical for distributing water, sediment and nutrients to the downstream branches of deltaic river networks. However, the downstream branches of a bifurcation can be linked by a connecting channel cutting through deltaic floodplains. The floodplain connecting channel as a downstream control can affect water...journal article 2023

Krcek, M. (author), Perin, G. (author)Hyperparameter tuning represents one of the main challenges in deep learning-based profiling side-channel analysis. For each different side-channel dataset, the typical procedure to find a profiling model is applying hyperparameter tuning from scratch. The main reason is that side-channel measurements from various targets contain different...journal article 2023

Remmerswaal, Mick G.D. (author), Wu, L. (author), Tiran, Sébastien (author), Mentens, Nele (author)Template attacks (TAs) are one of the most powerful side-channel analysis (SCA) attacks. The success of such attacks relies on the effectiveness of the profiling model in modeling the leakage information. A crucial step for TA is to select relevant features from the measured traces, often called points of interest (POIs), to extract the...journal article 2023
