    Abstract: A secret key estimation device is provided for determining an estimate of at least one secret key used during a number of executions of a cryptographic function used by at least one cryptographic algorithm. The number of executions of the cryptographic function is at least equal to two. The secret key estimation device comprises an analysis unit for determining a plurality of sets of leakage traces from a side-channel information acquired during the number of executions of the cryptographic function. Each set of leakage traces corresponds to an execution of the cryptographic function and comprising at least one leakage trace. The secret key estimation device further comprises a processing unit configured to determine a statistical distribution of the acquired plurality of sets of leakage traces. The statistical distribution is dependent on a leakage function, the leakage function being represented in a basis of functions by a set of real values. The secret key estimation device is configured to determine the secret key from the statistical distribution of the plurality of sets of leakage traces using an estimation algorithm according to the maximization of a performance metric.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify vertex positions of a 3D-object mesh to align the vertices with discontinuities indicated by a sharpness map for a displacement map. For example, the disclosed systems access a sharpness map that encodes discontinuities of a displacement map to preserve sharp features. During sharp tessellation, for a given vertex of the 3D-object mesh, the disclosed systems iterate over neighboring vertices to search for a nearest intersection between one of the incident edges of the vertex and neighboring vertices and a discontinuity line from the sharpness map. Then, the vertex is moved within a threshold distance of the nearest discontinuity line intersection along the incident edge. The disclosed systems similarly reposition other vertices of the 3D-object mesh to generate a modified 3D-object mesh that includes vertices that align with discontinuities present in a displacement map.

    Abstract: An antenna arrangement includes a conductive element configured to resonate at and above a chosen electromagnetic radiation frequency corresponding to a fundamental resonant mode. The conductive element is folded to make coupling areas intended to shift one or more of the resonant frequencies of the higher resonant modes. Each coupling area is defined related to the set of resonant frequencies according to which the antenna is supposed to work, and is formed by positioning parts of the conductive element facing each other. The location, along the conductive element, of the parts of that conductive element intended to form a given coupling area as well as the length of these parts and as the width of the gap between them when the coupling area is formed, are determined so as to provide a given increase or decrease of the resonant frequency of a given resonant mode of the conductive element.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that utilize a sharpness map that includes information on how to filter a displacement map on a per-texel basis to preserve sharp features while sampling a displacement map. For instance, the disclosed systems utilize a sharpness map that encodes combinable patterns to represent discontinuities of features within a displacement map. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a sharpness map having texels encoded with discontinuity configurations that are referenced to control filtering (e.g., via interpolation) of a displacement map such that sharp features within the displacement map are not lost (due to smoothing during interpolation). For example, the disclosed systems filter feature values of a displacement map using discontinuities identified within a sharpness map to interpolate when the feature value(s) and a sampling point are identified as being on the same side of a discontinuity.
