Standalone static binary executable rewriting for software protection
Bican, Özgür Saygın; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
This study introduces a static binary rewriting method for improving security of executable binaries. For software security, when the network and host-based precautions are passed by the adversary or they are not present at all, the software has to defend itself. Nevertheless, applying software protection methods during software development requires extra source code development and know-how. Furthermore, these methods inherently make the software undesirably complex. Applying these methods after compilatio...
Secure multiparty computation via oblivious polynomial evaluation
Özarar, Mert; Genç, Fethi Payidar; Özgit, Attila; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
The number of opportunities for cooperative computation has exponentially been increasing with growing interaction via Internet technologies. These computations could occur between trusted partners, between partially trusted partners, or even between competitors. Most of the time, the communicating parties may not want to disclose their private data to the other principal while taking the advantage of collaboration, hence concentrating on the results rather than private and perhaps useless data values. For ...
Replaceable links with direct brace attachments for eccentrically braced frames
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Topkaya, Cem (2017-10-25)
This paper reports findings of an experimental study conducted on replaceable links for steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). A replaceable link detail which is based on splicing the directly connected braces and the beam outside the link is proposed. This detail eliminates the need to use hydraulic jacks and flame cutting operations for replacement purposes. Performance of this proposed replaceable link was studied by conducting eight nearly full-scale EBF tests under quasi-static cyclic loading. The l...
Comparison of chevron and suspended-zipper braced steel frames
Ozcelik, Yigit; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Clayton, Patricia M. (2016-03-01)
Suspended-zipper braced frame is a modified configuration of chevron braced frame in which zipper columns are added between story beams and a hat truss is attached between top two stories in order to redistribute the unbalanced vertical forces emerging following the brace buckling to avoid the use of deep beams. In this study, three- and nine-story chevron and suspended-zipper braced frames are analyzed to compare their seismic performances. The beams, columns, braces and zipper columns are modeled using no...
Numerical investigation of braces and replaceable links for steel frames
Kazemzadeh Azad, Sina; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-2-10)
Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are among popular lateral load resisting systems for steel structures. The present study investigates different aspects of these systems. The part devoted to EBFs begins with a comprehensive review of research where 22 future research needs are identified and presented. This is followed by an experimental study on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of links, which are the most important members of an EBF. Results of the experimental stud...
