Key Compression for Isogeny-Based Cryptosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-21)We present a method for key compression in quantum-resistant isogeny-based cryptosystems, which reduces storage and transmission costs of per-party public information by a factor of two, with no effect on the security level ... -
Key establishment --- security models, protocols and usage
(University of Waterloo, 2008-07-30)Key establishment is the process whereby two or more parties derive a shared secret, typically used for subsequent confidential communication. However, identifying the exact security requirements for key establishment ... -
Key Principles for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Collaborative Impact Assessment in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-07)Impact assessment (IA) is an influential planning tool used to evaluate the potential effects, benefits, and risks of project-level resource development. Indigenous peoples are often disproportionately affected by the ... -
Key Randomization Countermeasures to Power Analysis Attacks on Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-25)It is essential to secure the implementation of cryptosystems in embedded devices agains side-channel attacks. Namely, in order to resist differential (DPA) attacks, randomization techniques should be employed to ... -

(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)Extensive research in the field of monocular SLAM for the past fifteen years has yielded workable systems that found their way into various applications in robotics and augmented reality. Although filter-based monocular ... -
The Keystone XL Pipeline Dispute: A Strategic Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)TransCanada Corporation has proposed the Keystone XL pipeline project to transfer crude bitumen from the oil sand fields in northern Alberta, Canada, to oil refineries located in the southern part of the United States. ... -
KG-Pipeline: An Automated Knowledge Graph Generation Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-16)Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have many applications, specifically in information retrieval and question answering. Community projects are conducted for building large-scale KGs with crowdsourcing, but building KGs with this ... -
The Kijiji Kit: A Slum Upgrading Strategy for Nairobi, Kenya
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)This thesis is sited in Mukuru-Kwa-Njenga, a slum community in Nairobi, Kenya. Like many others around the world, this community faces issues of health, sanitation, mobility, and basic services. Through the investigation ... -
KimiaNet: Training a Deep Network for Histopathology using High-Cellularity
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-11)With the recent progress in deep learning, one of the common approaches to represent images is extracting deep features. A primitive way to do this is by using off-the-shelf models. However, these features could be improved ... -
Kinematic and three-dimensional dynamic modeling of a biped robot
(Sage, 2017-03-01)This article focuses on inverse kinematic formulation and dynamic modeling of the Nao biped robot's lower body, accompanied by verification with the joints' angles as experimental data. Dynamic modeling in two different ... -
Kinematic Templates: Guiding Cursor Movement in End-User Drawing Tools
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)This thesis presents kinematic templates, end-user drawing tools that influence the mouse cursor's movement within specific areas of a digital canvas. Two types of kinematic templates influence the cursor's movement: ... -
Kinematic variability in repetitive occupational tasks as an individual trait from different motor control perspectives
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-06)Recent ergonomic research suggests that individuals with low motor variability (repeaters) are at higher risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders than individuals with high motor variability (replacers) ... -
