As the complexity of circuit design continues to grow, the development of three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) technology has become increasingly vital. While 3D ICs offer faster signal transmission speeds and lower power consumption compared with traditional two-dimensional (2D) ICs, they also pose greater challenges in manufacturing and testing. In memory testing, traditional 2D ICs require only a single testing stage, whereas 3D ICs involve both prebond and postbond testing stages, complicating the memory grouping process. Most existing memory grouping algorithms focus on testing 2D ICs. While one study addressed the memory grouping problem for 3D IC testing, it did not consider the impact of test scheduling. In contrast, our approach incorporates test scheduling into the memory grouping process, resulting in a reduction in BIST area overhead. Experimental results demonstrate that our method reduces built-in self-test circuit area overhead by an average of 10.28% compared with those in the existing literature. Full article

The data hierarchical Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) scheme implements multiple hierarchical data encryption of a single access policy, which reduces the computation and storage overhead. However, existing data hierarchical CP-ABE schemes have some problems, such as the leakage of personal privacy information through access policies or user attributes in plaintext form, and these schemes grant enough privileges to a single authorization center. If the authorization center is untrusted or attacked, keys can be used to illegally access data, which is the key escrow problem. To solve these problems, we propose an Attribute Hiding and Multiple Authorization Centers-based Data Hierarchical Encryption Scheme (AH-MAC-DHE). Firstly, we propose an Attribute Convergence Hiding Mechanism (ACHM). This mechanism solves the problem of personal privacy information leakage by hiding access policies and user attributes. Secondly, we design Privilege-Dispersed Multiple Authorization Centers (PD-MAC). PD-MAC solves the problem of key escrow by dispersing the privileges of the single authorization center to the user authorization center and attribute authorization center. Finally, we prove that AH-MAC-DHE is secure under the decisional q-parallel Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent (BDHE) assumption, which also satisfies anti-collusion and privacy security. The experimental results indicate that compared with existing schemes, AH-MAC-DHE performs well. Full article

The Si and Mn contents in steel alloys are important characteristic indexes that influence the plasticity and welding properties of these alloys. In this work, the quantitative analysis methods for trace elements under complex alloy matrices by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) are studied, which provide a foundation for utilizing LIBS technology in the rapid online detection of steel alloy properties. To improve the quantitative analysis accuracy of LIBS, deep learning algorithm methods are introduced. Given the characteristics of LIBS spectra, we explore multi-perspective feature extraction and backward differential methods to extract the spatio-temporal characteristics of LIBS spectra. The Text Convolutional Neural Network (TextCNN) model, combined with multi-perspective feature extraction, displays good stability and lower average relative errors (6.988% for Si, 6.280% for Mn) in the test set compared to the traditional quantitative analysis method and deep neural network (DNN) model. Finally, the backward differential method is employed to optimize the two-dimensional LIBS spectral input matrix, and the results indicate that the average relative errors of Si and Mn elements in the test set decrease to 5.139% and 3.939%, respectively. The method proposed in this work establishes a theoretical basis and technical support for precise prediction and online quality monitoring. Full article
