Blockchain meets lightweight cryptography
The Internet of Things (IoT) typically comprises sensors that have inadequate computational resources. On the contrary, blockchain technology is thought to be expensive in terms of resource consumption due to the consensus procedures involved. As a result, the application of blockchain to the IoT environment is a challenging task. The most appropriate solution lies in replacing … [Read more...] about Blockchain meets lightweight cryptography
Electrodermal activity: Fundamental principles, measurement, and application
Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a low-cost and nonintrusive way of monitoring the emotional state of a subject. It is also a viable gateway to study the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is responsible for the so-called fight-or-flight responses happening at the unconsciousness level (Boucsein, 2012). It is a frequently used modality in psychophysiology because of its … [Read more...] about Electrodermal activity: Fundamental principles, measurement, and application
