Fully Homomorphic Encryption and Multilinear Maps KU Leuven
The area of lattice-based cryptography has become one of the most popular branches of post-quantum cryptography to date. One of the reasons for this is that some of the hard problems used in lattice-based cryptography can be proven to be as hard as worst-case instances of well-studied problems in the theory of lattices. Another reason is its versatility with a wide range of primitives, including many high-level primitives such as fully ...
Explorative mission to University of Cuenca (Ecuador) to develop a fully fledged TEAM proposal Ghent University
This project encompasses an explorative mission to the University of Cuenca (Ecuador) to develop a fully fledged TEAM proposal entitled ‘Revaluing quinoa: participative cultivation, food applications and safe consumption in the Southern Andean region of Ecuador’. The mission will consist of several activities including group discussions, encounters with the multidisciplinary team and external stakeholders, lab or field visits and ...
Fully kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection and tearing mode instability in collisionless low-beta plasmas KU Leuven
Magnetic nuclear fusion (especially plasma physics) is one of the most leading-edge areas of nuclear energy research. Experiment and simulation are the mainstream methods in those research. On the one hand, the ITER, a new big science experiment, is approaching its final stages of construction and was expected to become operative in 2025. Meanwhile, smaller experiments are also being pursued to investigate specific issues and innovative ...
Towards Virtual NVH Performance Assessment of Tires: Prediction of Dynamic Tire/Road Contact and Hub Forces Using a Fully Predictive Efficient Simulation Approach KU Leuven
Since it is reported that environmental noise has negative effects on the public health in the European Union, the European Commission has set a road traffic noise reduction target of 10 dB(A) by 2020. As a result, vehicle manufacturers are continuously working towards refining their car designs to help reduce traffic noise. Tire/road noise is an important contributor to the overall road traffic noise and can be divided into two categories: ...
Also on-spot should be spot-on: towards reliable fully automated quantitation of lysosphingolipids in dried blood microsamples Ghent University
For decades, metabolic disorders have been diagnosed through enzymatic testing. However, once diagnosed, disease progression and potential treatment effects must be assessed on a regular basis, requiring frequent sampling of the concerned patients. Yet, issues often emerge while carrying out enzymatic assays, as these are affected by external factors, affecting the accuracy of these assays. This also applies to the follow-up of ...
Fully Adaptive Simulation Tool for Kinetic Theory KU Leuven
Kinetic models are omnipresent in a wide range of scientific and engineering applications. They are derived from the evolution of a particle distribution in position-velocity phase space, and appear, for instance, in the modeling of fusion energy reactors and atmospheric reentry of spacecraft, where classical fluid equations are inaccurate. Further technological progress of these applications requires significant advances in modeling and ...
SBO project with a primary economic finality aimed at the transfer to existing companies: Fully closed circle for re- and upcycling of used polymers Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This initiative is focused on the re-use of a selection of post-consumer plastics that are currently being incinerated on large scale because of the presence of high concentrations of forbidden substances resulting in major economic losses and pressure on the ...
Fully closed circle for re- and upcycling of used polymers KU Leuven
One of the biggest challenges for industry is to produce in a sustainable way. As a consequence, the reduction, re-use, and upgrading of waste are becoming increasingly important. This initiative is focused on the re-use of a selection of post-consumer plastics that are currently being incinerated on large scale because of the presence of high concentrations of forbidden substances resulting in major economic losses and pressure on the ...
Optimisations of Fully Homomorphic Encryption KU Leuven
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a class of encryption algorithms that support any computation on encrypted messages without revealing anything about these messages in unencrypted form except for their maximal size. Using FHE, a party that owns private data can securely outsource computations on this data to another party. Due to this functionality, FHE finds many applications both in practice (e.g. cloud computing) and in the design of ...
