I pledge to continue the mission of the NAE in service to the welfare of the nation and the engineering community as did my predecessor Chuck Vest. Tragically, Chuck passed away on December 12. His wise counsel was long sought by the nation at the highest levels of government, industry, universities, and the nonprofit sector, all of which he served selflessly with distinction. Chuck’s vigorous and remarkably pro- ductive life was full and appreciated deeply, and his impact on our nation and people will be lasting. I believe that three strategic issues for engineering will have significant implications for our nation’s future. They are (1) the importance of talent in our engineering workforce, C. D. Mote, Jr. (2) globalization and the global role of the NAE, and (3) the visibility and understand- ing of engineering. How these familiar issues evolve will shape our future. Talent in the engineering workforce is normally not mentioned when discussing our national prepared- ness in engineering. If the need for talent and the value placed on talent are high, talent in engineer- ing deserves priority attention. If society depends on engineering talent for its future, then ensuring a talented engineering workforce is a critical national need. However, I do not see that talent is given priority attention. Virtually every society globally is recruiting engineering talent aggressively and particularly the “in-demand” talent with current skills. Increasingly, attractive opportunities for engi- neers that offer excellent salaries, facilities, and economic growth potential are in Asia and the Middle East, and soon in Africa. In the Forum at the NAE Annual Meeting last October, a distinguished panel explored the many questions surrounding the importance of top talent in the engineering workforce to the competitiveness of the US economy and the future quality of life of US citizens. The Forum is available on the NAE website at www.fednet.net/NAE100713, and the published summary is at www. nae.edu/108332.aspx. Two NAE programs have been particularly effective at pushing the global reach of the Academy: the Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) and the Global Grand Challenges. The founding of our Frontiers of Engineering program led quickly to interest from abroad in creating bilateral FOE symposia. We now have bilateral Frontiers programs with Germany, Japan, China, India, and the EU, and a new one with Brazil in March 2014. The attendees of these symposia, half chosen by the NAE and half by the partner academy, all become alumni of our Frontiers program, who now number about 4,000. In a literal sense, the Frontiers of Engineering is leading the NAE to the global frontiers of engineering and attracting the global engineering leadership of tomorrow. This important effort is central to the mission of the NAE. The Grand Challenges for Engineering, a program initiated under president Bill Wulf and imple- mented under Chuck Vest, is also an attractor of the global engineering community and an expander of the NAE’s global reach. The Grand Challenges led to a collaboration by the national academies of the United Kingdom, the People’s Republic of China, and the United States in sponsoring the first Global Grand Challenges Summit in London in March 2013. In 2015, the Chinese Academy of Engineering will host the next Global Grand Challenges Summit, and the NAE will follow in 2017. Additionally, the deans of engineering at Duke and University of Southern California, Tom Katsouleas and Yannis Yortsos, and the president of Olin College, Rick Miller, have taken the lead on many Grand Challenge activities including establishing the Charles M. Vest NAE Grand Challenges for Engineering International Scholarships that are used to recruit international graduate students to the US for a year’s study. The Grand Challenges symposia are leading the NAE globally, attracting international attention to the Challenges, and catalyzing international partnerships. 1 Representing the essence of engineering as “things,” rather than as creation, maintains public confu- sion about engineering. Engineers create, or to paraphrase the late Theodore von Kármán, “engineering creates what never was.” The use of things to describe engineering reinforces the misplaced impression that things are the essence of engineering. The value proposition for engineering is its creative solutions serving the welfare of humanity and the needs of society, which clarifies that things are the vehicle but not the destination of engineering. All major engineering prizes have long recognized that the most eminent engineering achievements are contributions to humanity. This distinction is important to the next generation, who wish to serve people and societal needs. This brings us to the strategic message for the NAE’s 50-year Anniversary celebration which was kicked off at the October 2013 NAE Annual Meeting and will culminate at the end of 2014, a 15-month year. Our Semicentennial Celebration Year explores the value proposition for engineering. We will highlight the importance of the nexus of engineering creations, people, and society over a century, starting with the founding of the NAE in 1964 and continuing 100 years to 2064. We will highlight this nexus through essays and a global video competition. Essays, written for a public audience, will showcase engineering’s service to the quality of life of all Americans and the needs of society, both as documented in the past and as projected into the future. The essays and subsequent discussions about them may provide a new point of reference for describ- ing the value of engineering to the public and for answering, more effectively, the question “what is engineering?” The national video competition asks contestants to highlight this nexus in a one- to two- minute video that illustrates the essential role of engineering in quality of life for the nation and the world. Pertinent information is provided on the website www.e4uvideocontest.org. The 2014 Annual Meeting program will feature presentations on both the essays and the videos, and the awarding of prizes along with other anniversary celebrations. The semicentennial year provides an opportunity to highlight how the future quality of life of all Americans and the needs of our society are tied to engineering. The future of engineering, and con- sequently its service to people and society, depends on making this point to the public. As Abraham Lincoln counseled, “public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.” Engineering needs the public sentiment that engineering creations serve the welfare of humanity and the needs of society. Practitioners of engineering must carry this understand- ing to the public. The independent programs of the NAE depend greatly on private philanthropy. We are grateful to Peter Farrell for his matching gift challenge to the classes of 2012 and 2013 to encourage donations to the NAE for discretionary purposes. We are pleased to recognize in this report all the members and friends whose generous gifts are helping the NAE to continue its contributions to the well-being of the nation. Your

  • Randomized Lempel-Ziv Compression for Anti-Compression Side-Channel Attacks

    Randomized Lempel-Ziv Compression for Anti-Compression Side-Channel Attacks

    Randomized Lempel-Ziv Compression for Anti-Compression Side-Channel Attacks by Meng Yang A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 c Meng Yang 2018 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Security experts confront new attacks on TLS/SSL every year. Ever since the compres- sion side-channel attacks CRIME and BREACH were presented during security conferences in 2012 and 2013, online users connecting to HTTP servers that run TLS version 1.2 are susceptible of being impersonated. We set up three Randomized Lempel-Ziv Models, which are built on Lempel-Ziv77, to confront this attack. Our three models change the determin- istic characteristic of the compression algorithm: each compression with the same input gives output of different lengths. We implemented SSL/TLS protocol and the Lempel- Ziv77 compression algorithm, and used them as a base for our simulations of compression side-channel attack. After performing the simulations, all three models successfully pre- vented the attack. However, we demonstrate that our randomized models can still be broken by a stronger version of compression side-channel attack that we created. But this latter attack has a greater time complexity and is easily detectable. Finally, from the results, we conclude that our models couldn't compress as well as Lempel-Ziv77, but they can be used against compression side-channel attacks.

From credit, student debt, savings, investing, taxes, and mortgages, CNN's chief business correspondent Christine Romans shows this newest generation of earners how to build wealth. You'll learn the old-fashioned approach that leads to a healthier financial lifestyle, and open the door on a straightforward conversation about earning, saving, spending, growing, and protecting your money. You'll learn how to invest in the stock market or buy a home, even if you are still paying off student loan debt. Romans offers expert insight on the "New Normal," and why the rules of the credit bubble—the one you were raised in—no longer apply. Checklists and quizzes help solidify your understanding, and pave the way for you to start putting these new skills into action. For thirty years, the financial rules for life revolved around abundant credit at the ready. A quick look around makes it obvious that those rules no longer work, and Millennials just now coming of age and entering the workforce need a new plan to build a solid financial foundation and healthy money habits. This book puts you on the right track, with step-by-step help and expert guidance.

    Former Vice President Al Gore and Internet “Father” Vint Cerf Praise the ICANN Model

    FOR RELEASE: June 3, 2009 CONTACTS: Brad White Director of Media Affairs Ph. +1 202.429.2710 E: [email protected] Michele Jourdan Corporate Affairs Division Ph. +1 310.301.5831 E: [email protected] Former Vice President Al Gore and Internet “Father” Vint Cerf Praise the ICANN Model Comments Precede Hill Hearings on Ties to U.S. Government Washington, D.C. … June 3, 2009…. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has joined a leading Internet founder in acknowledging the success of the multi-stakeholder, bottom up governance of the Internet’s name and address system that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) embodies. “Twelve Years ago as Vice President, I led an interagency group charged with coordinating the U.S. government’s electronic commerce strategy. The formation of ICANN was very much a part of that strategy,” Gore said. The former Vice President’s comments come on the eve of Congressional hearings on ICANN’s relationship with the U.S. government and on the non-profit corporation’s proposed expansion of top- level domains. “The Internet’s unique nature requires a unique multi-stakeholder private entity to coordinate the global Internet addressing system without being controlled by any one government or special interest. What we have all those years later is an organization that works,” said Gore. “It has security as its core mission, is responsive to all global stakeholders and is independent and democratic. We should make permanent those foundations for success.” Gore’s praise parallels the comments of Vint Cerf, a man considered by many to be the one of the fathers of the Internet.
