Power analysis attacks are a relatively new
category of attacks against cryptosystems.
In this case, the power consumption of a
cryptosystem is analyzed to extract its secret
values such as secret keys and key streams.
This has become a huge threat to modern-
day cryptosystems. Therefore, identifying
ciphers that are vulnerable to power analysis
attacks is very important. Many studies have
been carried out on power analysis attacks
on block ciphers, but relatively less number
of studies have been carried out on power
analysis attacks on stream ciphers. This
paper presents a power analysis attack on
Trivium stream cipher. In order to analyze
the power consumption, correlation power
analysis (CPA) is done, and the keystream is
successfully recovered.

Traditionally farmers are the lifeline of a
country that contributes to the economy
immensely. The aim of this research was
to provide a solution to farmers enabling
them to obtain a competitive price for their
produce. Therefore it was decided to develop
a social media based web application to
facilitate the linking of the optimum set of
buyers to farmers maximizing the benefits for
both parties while minimizing intermediate
buyers and sellers. In the developed system
there are three main subsystems namely the
bidding system, transport optimizing and
question and answering system. By using
these three subsystem it is expected to retain
the farmers by making farming a profit-
making enterprise.

set of practical and soft skills, but also
tremendous passion and zeal to perform
