Mestre em Sistemas e Computação

In this work will applied the technique of Differential Cryptanalysis, introduced in 1990 by Biham and Shamir, on Papílio s cryptosystem, developed by Karla Ramos, to test and most importantly, to prove its relevance to other block ciphers such as DES, Blowfish and FEAL-N (X). This technique is based on the analysis of differences between plaintext and theirs respective ciphertext, in search of patterns that will assist in the discovery of the subkeys and consequently in the discovery of master key. These differences are obtained by XOR operations. Through this analysis, in addition to obtaining patterns of Pap´ılio, it search to obtain also the main characteristics and behavior of Papilio throughout theirs 16 rounds, identifying and replacing when necessary factors that can be improved in accordance with pre-established definitions of the same, thus providing greater security in the use of his algoritm

Cloud Integrator: uma plataforma para composição de serviços em ambientes de computação em nuvem

With the advance of the Cloud Computing paradigm, a single service offered by a cloud platform may not be enough to meet all the application requirements. To fulfill such requirements, it may be necessary, instead of a single service, a composition of services that aggregates services provided by different cloud platforms. In order to generate aggregated value for the user, this composition of services provided by several Cloud Computing platforms requires a solution in terms of platforms integration, which encompasses the manipulation of a wide number of noninteroperable APIs and protocols from different platform vendors. In this scenario, this work presents Cloud Integrator, a middleware platform for composing services provided by different Cloud Computing platforms. Besides providing an environment that facilitates the development and execution of applications that use such services, Cloud Integrator works as a mediator by providing mechanisms for building applications through composition and selection of semantic Web services that take into account metadata about the services, such as QoS (Quality of Service), prices, etc. Moreover, the proposed middleware platform provides an adaptation mechanism that can be triggered in case of failure or quality degradation of one or more services used by the running application in order to ensure its quality and availability. In this work, through a case study that consists of an application that use services provided by different cloud platforms, Cloud Integrator is evaluated in terms of the efficiency of the performed service composition, selection and adaptation processes, as well as the potential of using this middleware in heterogeneous computational clouds scenarios

Um estudo algorítmico de problemas logísticos na indústria de petróleo e gás natural

This work consists on the study of two important problems arising from the operations of petroleum and natural gas industries. The first problem the pipe dimensioning problem on constrained gas distribution networks consists in finding the least cost combination of diameters from a discrete set of commercially available ones for the pipes of a given gas network, such that it respects minimum pressure requirements at each demand node and upstream pipe conditions. On its turn, the second problem the piston pump unit routing problem comes from the need of defining the piston pump unit routes for visiting a number of non-emergent wells in on-shore fields, i.e., wells which don t have enough pressure to make the oil emerge to surface. The periodic version of this problem takes into account the wells re-filling equation to provide a more accurate planning in the long term. Besides the mathematical formulation of both problems, an exact algorithm and a taboo search were developed for the solution of the first problem and a theoretical limit and a ProtoGene transgenetic algorithm were developed for the solution of the second problem. The main concepts of the metaheuristics are presented along with the details of their application to the cited problems. The obtained results for both applications are promising when compared to theoretical limits and alternate solutions, either relative to the quality of the solutions or to associated running time

Algoritmos e Arquiteturas VLSI para Detectores MIMO com Decisão Suave

The use of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems has permitted the recent evolution of wireless communication standards. The Spatial Multiplexing MIMO technique, in particular, provides a linear gain at the transmission capacity with the minimum between the numbers of transmit and receive antennas. To obtain a near capacity performance in SM-MIMO systems a soft decision Maximum A Posteriori Probability MIMO detector is necessary. However, such detector is too complex for practical solutions. Hence, the goal of a MIMO detector algorithm aimed for implementation is to get a good approximation of the ideal detector while keeping an acceptable complexity. Moreover, the algorithm needs to be mapped to a VLSI architecture with small area and high data rate. Since Spatial Multiplexing is a recent technique, it is argued that there is still much room for development of related algorithms and architectures. Therefore, this thesis focused on the study of sub optimum algorithms and VLSI architectures for broadband MIMO detector with soft decision. As a result, novel algorithms have been developed starting from proposals of optimizations for already established algorithms. Based on these results, new MIMO detector architectures with configurable modulation and competitive area, performance and data rate parameters are here proposed. The developed algorithms have been extensively simulated and the architectures were synthesized so that the results can serve as a reference for other works in the area

Degradabilidade ruminal e digestibilidade intestinal de alimentos por intermédio da técnica in situ associada à do saco de náilon móvel

Objetivou-se no presente trabalho verificar a degradação ruminal e a digestibilidade intestinal e total da matéria seca (MS) e da proteína bruta (PB) do farelo de soja, do grão de milho, do melaço em pó, da farinha de peixe, da farinha de penas e do feno de alfafa, por intermédio da técnica de degradabilidade ruminal in situ associada à técnica do saco de náilon móvel. As amostras dos alimentos foram moídas e colocadas em duplicata em sacos de náilon de 10x5 cm (48 micras) nas quantidades de 15 e 5 mg de MS/cm² para os alimentos concentrados e feno de alfafa, respectivamente. Os sacos de náilon permaneceram incubados no rúmen de bois holandeses por 0; 2; 6; 8; 24 e 48 h; e 0; 8; 12; 24; 48; 72 e 96 horas, respectivamente, sendo depois retirados e sua duplicata inserida no duodeno através de uma cânula. Posteriormente, os sacos foram coletados junto com as fezes. Os valores de degradabilidade efetiva da PB para uma velocidade de passagem de 5%/hora, para o melaço em pó, grão de milho, farelo de soja, farinha de peixe, farinha de penas e feno de alfafa, foram de 100,00; 62,50; 57,90; 39,30; 34,20 e 60,90%, respectivamente; a digestibilidade intestinal de 100,00; 96,05; 99,79; 98,19; 96,07 e 94,64%, respectivamente; e a digestibilidade total de 100,00; 97,86; 99,87; 98,88; 97,35 e 98,09%, respectivamente. Verificou-se que as proteínas do melaço foram totalmente solúveis no rúmen, sendo as do milho, feno e farelo de soja bastante degradadas, além de possuírem um aproveitamento quase total no intestino. As proteínas das farinhas de peixe e de penas apresentaram baixa solubilidade ruminal e alta digestibilidade intestinal, sendo a farinha de peixe levemente mais digerida no intestino do que a farinha de penas.
