List Ordered Statistics Decoders for Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Yifei Shen, Leyu Zhang

The de-facto standard decoding algorithm for polar codes, successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding, is a breadth-first search algorithm. By keeping a list of candidate codewords, SCL decoding improves the performance as the list size L increases. Howeve ...

A Deep-Learning Approach to Side-Channel Based CPU Disassembly at Design Time

Mirjana Stojilovic

Side-channel CPU disassembly is a side-channel attack that allows an adversary to recover instructions executed by a processor. Not only does such an attack compromise code confidentiality, it can also reveal critical information on the system’s internals. ...
