Robust Beam Codebooks for mmWave/THz Systems: Toward a Stochastic RL Approach
Anouar Nechi, Rainer Buchty, Mladen Berekovic +1
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) massive MIMO systems often rely on predefined beamforming codebooks, which are usually suboptimal in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) condition…
SAILOR: A Scalable and Energy-Efficient Ultra-Lightweight RISC-V for IoT Security
Christian Ewert, Tim Hardow, Melf Fritsch +5
Recently, RISC-V has contributed to the development of IoT devices, requiring architectures that balance energy efficiency, compact area, and integrated security. However, most rec…
IMS: Intelligent Hardware Monitoring System for Secure SoCs
Wadid Foudhaili, Aykut Rencber, Anouar Nechi +4
In the modern Systems-on-Chip (SoC), the Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) protocol exhibits security vulnerabilities, enabling partial or complete denial-of-service (DoS) throug…
Lightweight Unified Sha-3/Shake Architecture with a Fault-Resilient State
Christian Ewert, Amrit Sharma Poudel, Mouadh Ayache +5
Hash functions have become a key part of standard Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) schemes, especially Sha-3 and Shake, calling arXiv:submit/7045552 [cs.AR] 3 Dec 2025 for lightweig…
Nail: Not Another Fault-Injection Framework for Chisel-generated RTL
Robin Sehm, Christian Ewert, Rainer Buchty +2
Fault simulation and emulation are essential techniques for evaluating the dependability of integrated circuits, enabling early-stage vulnerability analysis and supporting the impl…
Secure Software/Hardware Hybrid In-Field Testing for System-on-Chip
Saleh Mulhem, Christian Ewert, Andrija Neskovic +4
Modern Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) incorporate built-in self-test (BIST) modules deeply integrated into the device's intellectual property (IP) blocks. Such modules handle hardware faul…
