    Design of Multiplicative Inverse Value Generator using Logarithm Method for AES Algorithm
    Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is one of the most widely used symmetric block cipher that is utilized in data protection through symmetric cryptography algorithm, as it offers high efficiency and ability in securing information. In AES, the SubByte/InvSubByte transformation costs an amount of memories for the lookup tables (LUT) that leads to area usage in hardware. As per mathematical equations, the SubByte/InvSubByte is able to share the same resource which is the multiplicative inverse value table. Instead of using LUTs, the multiplicative inverse values can be generated on-the-fly as needed. Therefore, this paper presents the custom hardware design and implementation of multiplicative inverse value generator using logarithm method specifically for AES algorithm. The logarithm method benefits the usage of antilog and log values in obtaining the multiplicative inverse value. The EDA tools as Intel Quartus Prime, Synopsys Design Compiler and IC Compiler are used to perform functional simulation, on synthesis analysis and block-level implementation. Detailed comparison is made between this work and previous implementation. The newly designed multiplicative inverse value generator has achieved the improvement on speed and area as compared to previous implementation. The area of the design is reduced around 8.5% with current improvement of 63.091 μm2, while the speed has increased to 2.54 ns with a positive slack of 0.11 ns, which is shorter than the previous implementation. The new design also outreached the performance of the common LUT-based design.

    3D(Dimension) understanding has become the herald of computer vision and graphics research in the era of technology. It benefits many applications such as autonomous cars, robotics, and medical image processing. The pros and cons of 3D detection bring convenience to the human community instead of 2D detection. The 3D detection consists of RGB (Red, Green and Blue) colour images and depth images which are able to perform better than 2D in real. The current technology is relying on the high costing light detection and ranging (LiDAR). However, the use of Microsoft Kinect has replaced the LiDAR systems for 3D detection gradually. In this project, a Kinect camera is used to extract the depth of image information. From the depth images, the distance can be defined easily. As in the colour scale, the red colour is the nearest and the blue colour is the farthest. The depth image will turn black when reaching the limitation of the Kinect camera measuring range. The depth information collected will be trained with deep learning architecture to perform a real-time distance prediction.

    Design and Analysis of 32-Bit Signed and Unsigned Multiplier Using Booth, Vedic and Wallace Architecture
    This paper presents the implementation and performance comparison of the Booth encoding technique and Wallace Tree reduction scheme on Vedic architecture. The radix-4 Booth encoder is widely used to enhance the multiplication speed as it has the capability to reduce the number of partial products generated by half. Vedic multiplier partitions the inputs into two blocks to speed up the partial product generation and Wallace Tree reduction scheme speed up the partial product addition process by eliminating the carry chain of the addition. Radix-4 Booth encoding scheme Vedic multiplier with and without Wallace Tree partial product reduction scheme for signed and unsigned multiplication was designed and synthesized in Synopsys 130 nm technology. For unsigned multiplier, the Booth-Vedic multiplier is 37.29% faster and 26.13% smaller while the Booth-Vedic-Wallace multiplier is 39.79% faster and 28.81% smaller when compared with Vedic multiplier. The performance of both multipliers was dropped when used in signed multiplication due to signed extension during the partial product addition process. All the multiplier is functionally verified using modified testbench that is based on the concept of UVM testbench.

    Development of Soil Electrical Conductivity (EC) Sensing System in Paddy Field
    The amount of fertilisers affects electrical conductivity (EC), and it is one of the major causes of the paddy yield decrease. The overuse of fertilisers can lead to environmental pollution and contamination. This study designed to develop soil electrical conductivity (EC) sensing system in the paddy field using the smart farming application. In this work, the study conducted in Kampung Ladang, Kuala Perlis, and the soil samples collected from a random location at two different depths from the paddy field. The EC value for the developed system was near the calibration solutions (12880µS and 150000µS) and directly proportional to the temperature. From the laboratory soil results, the EC values of the soils were higher with fertiliser. However, the EC values for 0-10cm soil depth were higher than 10-20cm soil depth. The soil EC is inversely proportional to the depth of soil and directly proportional to the amount of nutrients. It observed that the soil EC is linearly related to the amount of nutrients and temperature. The EC value decreases with the increase of soil depth displays a low amount of salts in the deep soil, while, increases with the increase of temperature indicates high current flow.

    Less memory and high accuracy logarithmic number system architecture for arithmetic operations
    Interpolation is another important procedure for logarithmic number system (LNS) addition and subtraction. As a medium of approximation, the interpolation procedure has an urgent need to be enhanced to increase the accuracy of the operation results. Previously, most of the interpolation procedures utilized the first degree interpolators with special error correction procedure which aim to eliminate additional embedded multiplications. However, the interpolation procedure for this research was elevated up to a second degree interpolation. Proper design process, investigation, and analysis were done for these interpolation configurations in positive region by standardizing the same co-transformation procedure, which is the extended range, second order co-transformation. Newton divided differences turned out to be the best interpolator for second degree implementation of LNS addition and subtraction, with the best-achieved BTFP rate of +0.4514 and reduction of memory consumption compared to the same arithmetic used in european logarithmic microprocessor (ELM) up to 51%.

    Rice is the primary food source for millions of Asians and satisfies the most fundamental requirement for human survival. The paddy scarcity has heightened public awareness of the global food problem. Rice yield and quality are affected by various factors, including soil nutrients, irrigation, types of soil, and pests. This work proposed developing an Internet of Things (IoT) based mobile device for measuring soil nutrients in real-time. The proposed system consists of electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature sensors with TTGO T-Beam microcontroller and IoT connectivity. During experimental work, the results showed that the observed EC data near the calibration solution conductivity of 12.88mS/cm and 150mS/cm, which are less than 2% from the calibration solution's stated value. Furthermore, it is found that the measured EC value increases with temperature (linearly proportional). The study showed that the soil's EC of sensor node 1 at 5 cm depth without fertiliser is 1.04375mS/cm and with fertiliser is 3.86mS/cm, while at 10 cm depth without fertiliser is 0.65625mS/cm and with fertiliser is 420mS/cm. These investigations show that soil EC is directly linked to nutrient availability and soil depth.

    Face Recognition and Identification using Deep Learning Approach
    Human face is the significant characteristic to identify a person. Everyone has their own unique face even for twins. Thus, a face recognition and identification are required to distinguish each other. A face recognition system is the verification system to find a person’s identity through biometric method. Face recognition has become a popular method nowadays in many applications such as phone unlock system, criminal identification and even home security system. This system is more secure as it does not need any dependencies such as key and card but only facial image is needed. Generally, human recognition system involves 2 phases which are face detection and face identification. This paper describes the concept on how to design and develop a face recognition system through deep learning using OpenCV in python. Deep learning is an approach to perform the face recognition and seems to be an adequate method to carry out face recognition due to its high accuracy. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed face recognition system.
