With the ubiquitous and distributed nature of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), various qualities of traditional communication methods for end devices and their verifiers prove insufficient in solving the challenges this new paradigm faces. Many new hardware and software technologies are proposed in an attempt to provide IoT systems with desired security properties while meeting performance requirements. Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are one such technology receiving particular interest from the wider research community by promising to provide low-cost and highly secure key data to enable lightweight authentication protocols for devices operating over publicly accessible networks. PUFs have been the target of Machine Learning Modelling Attacks (ML-MA), which aim to clone the intrinsic behaviour of the PUF to undermine their security. While many PUF-based schemes have been proposed to defend against adversaries who are guaranteed to be dishonest, an area which has not seen significant consideration is one where a normal communication participant cannot always be assumed to act honestly. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to consider the concept of ‘semi-honest verifier’ for PUFbased authentication, taking initial steps to shed light on this prominent issue in IoT by proposing a privacy-preserving mutual authentication protocol which considers security against MLMA in the presence of such verifiers. Furthermore, this work describes hardware-level considerations for PUF obfuscation by utilising a combination of strong PUF, configurable One-Way Function (OWF) and secure DRAM-PUF and is, therefore, one of the first to integrate PUF obfuscation comprehensively at the protocol level.

Power electronics building blocks (PEBBs) involve the integration of fundamental components into blocks with defined functionality, stacked in series and parallel, to extend converter power ratings to meet naval ship systems’ various power conversion needs. The PEBBs concept in literature is based on modular multilevel converters (MMCs). MMCs are promising candidates for medium and high-power system applications owing to their unique features, such as modularity/scalability/simplicity in structure, low switching losses, low quantization on voltage/current, high reliability, and high efficiency. However, a promising switching control method is required in MMCs to balance the capacitor voltage and suppress the circulating current. This paper presents the nearest level control (NLC) method for the PEBBs concept in modern electric ship systems to simultaneously improve capacitor voltage balancing, circulating current, and power quality. The simulation is conducted in MATLAB/Simulink software. A three-phase five-level MMC converter is considered for the simulation to analyze and compare the converter’s performance based on the proposed NLC and traditional sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) switching methods.

In this article, an easy and low-cost fabrication method for microfluidic chips with 3D electrodes is proposed. As an application of this method, the fabricated chip has been employed as a particle separator using the dielectrophoresis force. This new design does not require a sheath current, and the separation can be done only by using an injection pump, which reduces cost and complexity. The developed microfluidic channel and electrodes are engraved simultaneously using a laser, and therefore the depth of the channel and the electrodes are equal, which increases the efficiency of the chip. Then the electrodes' engraved regions were filled up by silver paste to the level of that of the microchannel. This structure is used to separate live and dead yeast cells using dielectrophoresis force, generated efficiently throughout the channel using 3D electrodes. Simulations and experimental results, both confirm the effective performance of the microfluidic chip in this design.

We study the J1−J2 spin-1/2 chain using a path integral constructed over matrix product states (MPS). By virtue of its nontrivial entanglement structure, the MPS ansatz captures the key phases of the model even at a semiclassical, saddle-point level, and, as a variational state, is in good agreement with the field theory obtained by Abelian bosonization. Going beyond the semiclassical level, we show that the MPS ansatz facilitates a physically motivated derivation of the field theory of the critical phase: By carefully taking the continuum limit—a generalization of the Haldane map—we recover from the MPS path integral a field theory with the correct topological term and emergent SO(4) symmetry, constructively linking the microscopic states and topological field-theoretic structures. Moreover, the dimerization transition is particularly clear in the MPS formulation—an explicit dimerization potential becomes relevant, gapping out the magnetic fluctuations.
