Linear measurements from nonlinear sensors: identifying distortion with incidental noise
Lachlan J. Gunn, Andrew Allison, Derek Abbott
Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to th…
Safety in Numbers: Anonymization Makes Centralized Systems Trustworthy
Lachlan J. Gunn, Andrew Allison, Derek Abbott
Decentralized systems can be more resistant to operator mischief than centralized ones, but they are substantially harder to develop, deploy, and maintain. This cost is dramaticall…
Too good to be true: when overwhelming evidence fails to convince
Lachlan J. Gunn, François Chapeau-Blondeau, Mark McDonnell +3
Is it possible for a large sequence of measurements or observations, which support a hypothesis, to counterintuitively decrease our confidence? Can unanimous support be too good to…
A directional coupler attack against the Kish key distribution system
Lachlan J. Gunn, Andrew Allison, Derek Abbott
The Kish key distribution system has been proposed as a class ical alternative to quantum key distribution. The idealized Kish scheme elegantly promise s secure key distribution by…
Physical-layer encryption on the public internet: a stochastic approach to the Kish-Sethuraman cipher
Lachlan J. Gunn, James M. Chappell, Andrew Allison +1
While information-theoretic security is often associated with the one-time pad and quantum key distribution, noisy transport media leave room for classical techniques and even cove…
A variational approach to the analysis of non-conservative mechatronic systems
A. Allison, C. E. M. Pearce, D. Abbott
We develop a method for systematically constructing Lagrangian functions for dissipative mechanical, electrical and, mechatronic systems. We derive the equations of motion for some…
