Thermal Steganography: A New Way to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Computers Using Heat and Fan Noise
Abstract: Nowadays, high-security computers are "air-gapped," meaning they are not connected to the internet to prevent hacking. Cybercriminals are increasingly using direct, physical methods to access and take data instead of relying on internet-based attacks. This paper introduces a new cybersecurity threat called Thermal-Secret. Most existing heat-based attacks are very slow and fail if the room temperature changes. To solve this, we developed a Slope-Based method. Instead of looking at how …

Idempotent Semiring Path Algebras and Fuzzy Dominance Automata for Multi-State Communication Reliability
Abstract: A semiring-based theory is proposed for multi-state communication reliability with fuzzy dominance constraints. Links are weighted in the max-product semiring, while nodes carry dominance coefficients and operating states that modulate admissible transitions in a weighted automaton. The paper derives semiring matrix products, Kleene closures, fixed point equations, congestion-regularized path scores, and reliability inequalities. A fuzzy dominance automaton is introduced so that route selection depends not only on link reliability but …
