Block Ciphers and Encryption Schemes. KU Leuven
Snowden's alarming disclosures on NSA's global surveillance are an evidence of the paramount importance of cryptography to our daily lives. Also, attacks on widely used functions such as SHA-1 triggered international competitions for cryptographic functions. This project is about encryption, ranging from the construction of block ciphers (basic mathematical building blocks) to various types of encryption schemes. Encryption finds a wide range ...
ASSIST: Assistive Speech Interface for Smart Technologies KU Leuven
Designing a Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) system for Command-and– Control (CaC) applications is challenging. Components like Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) are often language and application dependent. Even with a lot of design effort the users often still have to know what to say to the system for it to do what they want. We propose to use an end-to-end SLU system that maps speech directly ...
Communication-less protection algorithms for meshed HVDC grids. KU Leuven
For the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources into the power system, transmission corridors with power ratings and lengths greatly exceeding those in the existing power system will be needed. To realize these corridors, Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC HVDC) offers several advantages over the currently widely used ac technology. The use of VSC HVDC in a large-scale meshed grid can provide the major ...

Protection concepts for the optimal utilisation of the smart distribution grid. KU Leuven
It is a clear trend that the share of Distributed Generation (DG) in the grid increases. Many DG units are Converter Based DG (CBDG) units and it is expected that the number of CBDG units will increase in the future. Due to the variable nature of most of these CBDG units, there will be occasions when the share of CBDG units is much higher than their average share in the energy production. During these periods, several of the conventional ...
