Decentralized Lightweight Group Key Management for Dynamic Access Control in IoT Environments
2020
Rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices dealing with sensitive data has led to the emergence of new access control technologies in order to maintain this data safe from unauthorized use. In particular, a dynamic IoT environment, characterized by a high signaling overhead caused by subscribers' mobility, presents a significant concern to ensure secure data distribution to legitimate subscribers. Hence, for such dynamic environments, group key management (GKM) represents the fundamental mechanism for managing the dissemination of keys for access control and secure data distribution. However, existing access control schemes based on GKM and dedicated to IoT are mainly based on ce…
Impact on flavour release of the structure of composite gels containing polysaccharides: Example of the fruit préparations
2006
The main objective of this study was to understand the respective rôle of the structure of a food product and of the physicochemical interactions on flavour release. For that purpose, fruit préparations hâve been chosen as model matrices. Those matrices contain a polysaccharide as gelling agent, a cross-linked waxy corn starch (1.4%), a high sucrose content (35%), an acidic buffer and a strawberry aroma (17 molécules). Four matrices were developed by modifying either the composition or the concentration in gelling agent: two matrices of similar texture containing either LM pectin or carrageenan, and two carrageenan based matrices with différent gelled structures. In a first step; two comple…

Art Painting Testing with Terahertz Pulse and Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
2017
Paintings of individuals or collections undergo aging over time. The work of art restorers consists of repairing these defects using techniques that respect the history of the work. Ultraviolet, infrared and visible light and X-rays are well known techniques for analyzing these defects, but Terahertz is also increasingly used. Several works have shown that it is possible to detect hidden layers and various defects via terahertz pulses. In a previous work, we have shown that it is possible to use terahertz radiation to detect defects in the context of a restoration of a painting with a speed increase compared to time domain imaging.
Optimized Parallel Implementation of Face Detection based on GPU component
2015
Display Omitted An algorithm for face detection has been implemented on CPU.An acceleration of this algorithm on GPU migration.Performance of GPU implementation shows the effectiveness of this implementation.Another optimization method on GPU are operated. Face detection is an important aspect for various domains such as: biometrics, video surveillance and human computer interaction. Generally a generic face processing system includes a face detection, or recognition step, as well as tracking and rendering phase. In this paper, we develop a real-time and robust face detection implementation based on GPU component. Face detection is performed by adapting the Viola and Jones algorithm. We hav…
Generative design and parametric / topological optimization of cellular structures bio-inspired by additive manufacturing
2022
Biomimicry is the practice of learning from nature and imitating its different functionalities. Nature proposes complex forms and objects which inspired designers and engineers to conceive and find solutions for their engineering problems. The fabrication of these complex objects is particularly assured by the different Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Generally, biomimicry can be addressed at different levels, forms, textures, and behaviors, but in AM, it is presented under two main types. The first is the customization of parts (medical prosthesis, implants or custom sport equipments). And the second consists in the optimization for specific properties such as stiffness and lightne…
WiseNET : an indoor multi-camera multi-space dataset with contextual information and annotations for people detection and tracking
2019
Nowadays, camera networks are part of our every-day life environments, consequently, they represent a massive source of information for monitoring human activities and to propose new services to the building users. To perform human activity monitoring, people must be detected and the analysis has to be done according to the information relative to the environment and the context. Available multi-camera datasets furnish videos with few (or none) information of the environment where the network was deployed. The proposed dataset provides multi-camera multi-space video sets along with the complete contextual information of the environment. The dataset regroups 11 video sets (composed of 62 sin…
Electrical transport in carbon black-epoxy resin composites at different temperatures
2013
Citation: J. Appl. Phys. 114, 033707 (2013); doi: 10.1063/1.4815870 (Received 3 May 2013; accepted 27 June 2013; published online 17 July 2013) Results of broadband electric/dielectric properties of different surface area—carbon black/epoxy resin composites above the percolation threshold are reported in a wide temperature range (25–500 K). At higher temperatures (above 400 K), the electrical conductivity of composites is governed by electrical transport in polymer matrix and current carriers tunneling from carbon black clusters to polymer matrix. The activation energy of such processes decreases when the carrier concentration increases, i.e., with the increase of carbon black concentration…
