Binary finite fields GF(2n ) are very commonly used in cryptography, particularly in publickey algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). On word-oriented programmable ...
We introduce a new paradigm in the computer architecture referred to as Polymorphic Instruction Set Computers (PISC). This new paradigm, in difference to RISC/CISC, introduces hard...

Instruction fetch bandwidth is feared to be a major limiting factor to the performance of future wide-issue aggressive superscalars. In this paper, we focus on Database applicatio...
We describe Instruction-Set Randomization (ISR), a general approach for safeguarding systems against any type of code-injection attack. We apply Kerckhoffs' principle to creat...
