Exploring Side-Channel Protections in Hardware Implementations of PQC ML-KEM Verification
Davis Ranney, Yashaswini I Makaram, A. Adam Ding +1
As ML-KEM is adopted as a post-quantum cryptographic standard, resilience against physical side-channel attacks has become essential. Among the constituent steps, the decapsulation…
Mixels: Fabricating Interfaces using Programmable Magnetic Pixels
Martin Nisser, Yashaswini Makaram, Lucian Covarrubias +4
In this paper, we present Mixels, programmable magnetic pixels that can be rapidly fabricated using an electromagnetic printhead mounted on an off-the-shelve 3-axis CNC machine. Th…
Selective Self-Assembly using Re-Programmable Magnetic Pixels
Martin Nisser, Yashaswini Makaram, Faraz Faruqi +2
This paper introduces a method to generate highly selective encodings that can be magnetically "programmed" onto physical modules to enable them to self-assemble in chosen configur…
ElectroVoxel: Electromagnetically Actuated Pivoting for Scalable Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robots
Martin Nisser, Leon Cheng, Yashaswini Makaram +2
This paper introduces a cube-based reconfigurable robot that utilizes an electromagnet-based actuation framework to reconfigure in three dimensions via pivoting. While a variety of…
