In this paper, we propose an unsharp masking algorithm using Laplacian as a weight map for the signal structure and a gamma transformation algorithm using image mean intensity as a weight map for mean intensity. The conventional weight map based on the patch has a disadvantage in that the brightness in the image is shifted to one side in the signal structure and the mean intensity region. So the detailed information is lost. In this paper, we improved the detail using unsharp masking of patch unit and proposed linearly combined the gamma transformed values using the average brightness values of the global and local images. Through the proposed algorithm, the detail information such as edges are preserved and the subjective image quality is improved by adjusting the brightness of the light. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm show better performance than conventional algorithm.

The side-channel attack is widely known as an attack on implementations of cryptographic algorithms using additional side-channel information such as power traces, electromagnetic waves and sounds. As a countermeasure of side channel attack, the masking method is usually used, however full-round masking makes the efficiency of ciphers dramatically decreased. In order to avoid such a loss of efficiency, one can use reduced-round masking. In this paper, we describe a side channel attack on the lightweight block cipher LEA with the first one~six rounds masked. Our attack is based on differentials and power traces which provide knowledge of Hamming weight for the intermediate data computed during the enciphering of plaintexts. According to our experimental result, it is possible to recover 25 bits of the first round key in LEA-128.

In this paper, adaptive unsharp masking using bilateral filter, edge-preserving smoothing filter is proposed to reduce the overshoot and jagging artifact in sharpening images. Previous image enhancement methods including unsharp masking(UM) can emphasize high-frequency details strongly, but often cause several artifacts such as overshooting, noise, jagging and so on. Proposed image enhancement method preserves edges well because of using bilateral filter and sensitively controls a weight according to edge's directions. Therefore, it enhances sharpness and effectively reduces overshoot and jagging artifacts. Simulation results comparing output of previous AUM with proposed method show that proposed algorithm makes images properly enhanced, and we know that overshoot and jagging artifacts are many reduced.

In general, the high quality audio coding(HQAC) has the structure of the convertional data compression techniques combined with moodels of human perception. The primary auditory characteristic applied to HQAC is the masking effect in the spectral domain. Therefore spectral techniques such as the subband coding or the transform coding are widely used[1][2]. However no effort has yet been made to apply the temporal masking effect and temporal redundancy removing method in HQAC. The audio data compression method proposed in this paper eliminates statistical and perceptual redundancies in both temporal and spectral domain. Transformed audio signal is divided into packets, which consist of 6 frames. A packet contains 1536 samples($256{\times}6$) :nd redundancies in packet reside in both temporal and spectral domain. Both redundancies are elminated at the same time in each packet. The psychoacoustic model has been improved to give more delicate results by taking into account temporal masking as well as fine spectral masking. For quantization, each packet is divided into subblocks designed to have an analogy with the nonlinear critical bands and to reflect the temporal auditory characteristics. Consequently, high quality of reconstructed audio is conserved at low bit-rates.

This paper presents vibration analysis of maskless exposure module in printed circuit board(PCB) manufacturing system. In order to complete exposure process in PCB, masking type module has been widely used in electronics industries. However, masking process confronts some limitations of application due to higher production cost for masking as well as lower printing resolution. Therefore, maskless exposure module is started to be in the spotlight for flexible production system to meet the needs of fabrication in variable patterns at low cost. Since maskless exposure process adopts direct patterning to PCB, vibration problems become more critical compared to conventional masking type process. Moreover, movements of exposure engine as well as stage generate vibration sources in the system. Thus, it is imperative to analyze the vibration characteristics for the maskless exposure module to improve the quality and accuracy of PCB. In this study, vibration analysis using the finite element analysis is conducted to identify the critical structural parts deteriorating vibration performance. Also, Experimental investigations are conducted by single/dual encoder measurement process under the operating module speed. Measurement points of vibration are selected by three places, which are base of stage, exposure engine and top of stage, to check the effect of vibration from the exposure engine. Comparisons between analysis results and experimental measurement are conducted to confirm the accuracy of analysis results including the developed FE model. Finally, this studies show feasibility of optimal design using the developed FE analysis model.

As differential computation analysis attack(DCA) which is context of side-channel analysis on white-box cryptography is proposed, masking white-box cryptography based on table encoding has been proposed by Lee et al. to counter DCA. Existing higher-order DCA for the masked white box cryptography did not consider the masking implementation structure based on table encoding, so it is impossible to apply this attack on the countermeasure suggested by Lee et al. In this paper, we propose a new higher-order DCA method that can be applied to the implementation of masking based on table encoding, and prove its effectiveness by finding secret key information of masking white-box cryptography suggested by Lee et al. in practice.

In this paper, we study a watermarking method based on the informed coding and embedding by means of trellis code and entropy masking. An image is divided as $8{\times}8$ block with no overlapping and the discrete cosine transform(DCT) is applied to each block. Then the 16 medium-frequency AC terms of each block are extracted. Next it is compared with gaussian random vectors having zero mean and unit variance. As these processing, the embedding vectors with minimum value of linear combination between linear correlation and Watson distance can be obtained by Viterbi algorithm at each stage of trellis coding. For considering the image characteristics, we apply different weight value between the linear correlation and the Watson distance using the entropy masking. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, the average bit error rate of watermark message is calculated from different several images. By the experiments the proposed method is improved in terms of the average bit error rate.

In this Paper. we Propose a digital watermarking scheme for digital images based on a perceptual model, the frequency masking, texture making, and luminance masking Properties of the human visual system(HVS), which have been developed in the context of image compression. We embed two types of watermark, one is pseudo random(PN) sequences, the other is a logo image. To embed the watermarks, original images are decomposed into $8\times8$ blocks, and the discrete cosine transform(DCT) is carried out for each block. Watermarks are casted in the low frequency components of DCT coefficients. The perceptual model adjusts adaptively scaling factors embedding watermarks according to the local image properties. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme presents better results than that of non-perceptual watermarking methods for image qualify without loss of robustness.

최근 딥러닝(Deep Learning)을 활용하여 텍스트로 표현된 단어나 문장의 의미를 파악하기 위한 다양한 연구가 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 하지만, 딥러닝을 통해 특정 도메인에서 사용되는 언어를 이해하기 위해서는 해당 도메인의 충분한 데이터에 대해 오랜 시간 학습이 수행되어야 한다는 어려움이 있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하고자, 최근에는 방대한 양의 데이터에 대한 학습 결과인 사전 학습 언어 모델(Pre-trained Language Model)을 다른 도메인의 학습에 적용하는 방법이 딥러닝 연구에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 이들 접근법은 사전 학습을 통해 단어의 일반적인 의미를 학습하고, 이후에 단어가 특정 도메인에서 갖는 의미를 파악하기 위해 추가적인 학습을 진행한다. 추가 학습에는 일반적으로 대표적인 사전 학습 언어 모델인 BERT의 MLM(Masked Language Model)이 다시 사용되며, 마스크(Mask) 되지 않은 단어들의 의미로부터 마스크 된 단어의 의미를 추론하는 형태로 학습이 이루어진다. 따라서 사전 학습을 통해 의미가 파악되어 있는 단어들이 마스크 되지 않고, 신조어와 같이 의미가 알려져 있지 않은 단어들이 마스크 되는 비율이 높을수록 단어 의미의 학습이 정확하게 이루어지게 된다. 하지만 기존의 MLM은 무작위로 마스크 대상 단어를 선정하므로, 사전 학습을 통해 의미가 파악된 단어와 사전 학습에 포함되지 않아 의미 파악이 이루어지지 않은 신조어가 별도의 구분 없이 마스크에 포함된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사전 학습에 포함되지 않았던 신조어에 대해서만 집중적으로 마스킹(Masking)을 수행하는 방안을 제시한다. 이를 통해 신조어의 의미 학습이 더욱 정확하게 이루어질 수 있고, 궁극적으로 이러한 학습 결과를 활용한 후속 분석의 품질도 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 영화 정보 제공 사이트인 N사로부터 영화 댓글 12만 건을 수집하여 실험을 수행한 결과, 제안하는 신조어 표적 마스킹(NTM: Newly Coined Words Target Masking)이 기존의 무작위 마스킹에 비해 감성 분석의 정확도 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a method to increase the power-analysis resistance of the neural network model's feedforward process by replacing the exponential-based activation function, used in the deep-learning field, with an approximated function especially at the multi-layer perceptron model. Due to its nature, the feedforward process of neural networks calculates secret weight and bias, which already trained, so it has risk of exposure of internal information by side-channel attacks. However, various functions are used as the activation function in neural network, so it's difficult to apply conventional side-channel countermeasure techniques, such as masking, to activation function(especially, to exponential-based activation functions). Therefore, this paper shows that even if an exponential-based activation function is replaced with approximated function of simple form, there is no fatal performance degradation of the model, and than suggests a power-analysis resistant feedforward neural network with exponential-based activation function, by masking approximated function and whole network.
