Google and Apple have jointly provided an API for exposure notification in order to implement decentralized contract tracing apps using Bluetooth Low Energy, the so-called "Google/Apple Proposal", which we abbreviate by "GAP". We…

We present a protocol enabling two legitimate partners sharing an initial secret to mutually authenticate and to exchange an encryption session key. The opponent is an active Man In The Middle (MITM) with unlimited computation and storage…

Near-field spherical wavefronts enable spotlight-like beam focusing to mitigate unintended energy leakage, creating new opportunities for physical-layer security (PLS). However, under hybrid analog-digital (HAD) antenna architectures,…

Authentication is the first step toward establishing a service provider and customer (C-P) association. In a mobile network environment, a lightweight and secure authentication protocol is one of the most significant factors to enhance the…

Several identity based and implicitly authenticated key agreement protocols have been proposed in recent years and none of them has achieved all required security properties. In this paper, we propose an efficient identity-based and…

With the advent of modern embedded systems, logging as a process is becoming more and more prevalent for diagnostic and analytic services. Traditionally, storage and managing of the logged data are generally kept as a part of one entity…

Quantum key agreement enables remote participants to fairly establish a secure shared key based on their private inputs. In the circular-type multiparty quantum key agreement mode, two or more malicious participants can collude together to…

Home automation Internet of Things (IoT) systems have recently become a target for several types of attacks. In this paper, we present an authentication and key agreement protocol for a home automation network based on the ZigBee standard,…

It has been pointed out that current protocols for device independent quantum key distribution can leak key to the adversary when devices are used repeatedly and that this issue has not been addressed. We introduce the notion of an…

The growing adoption of multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (mRAG) pipelines for vision-centric tasks (e.g., visual QA) introduces important privacy challenges. In particular, while mRAG provides a practical capability to connect…

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technology is one of the featuring technologies of the next-generation communication systems. When sensing capability becomes ubiquitous, more information can be collected, which can facilitate…

Wi-Fi signals may help realize low-cost and non-invasive human sensing, yet it can also be exploited by eavesdroppers to capture private information. Very few studies rise to handle this privacy concern so far; they either jam all sensing…

In this writing, we introduce a novel biometric-authenticated key exchange protocol that allows secure and privacy-preserving key establishment between a stateless biometric sensing system and a "smart" user token that possesses biometric…

Backdoor attacks have been shown to impose severe threats to real security-critical scenarios. Although previous works can achieve high attack success rates, they either require access to victim models which may significantly reduce their…

We consider repeated communication sessions between a RFID Tag (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification, RFID Tag) and a RFID Verifier. A proactive information theoretic security scheme is proposed. The scheme is based on the assumption that…

In this paper, we analyze the security of two recently proposed distance bounding protocols called the Hitomi and the NUS protocols. Our results show that the claimed security of both protocols has been overestimated. Namely, we show that…

Global financial crime activity is driving demand for machine learning solutions in fraud prevention. However, prevention systems are commonly serviced to financial institutions in isolation, and few provisions exist for data sharing due to…

Smart grid is a self-sufficient system. That tracks how the energy is used from its source to its final destination. The smart grid can increase the service quality while reducing the consumption of electricity. However, the safety and…

The increasing adoption of Cloud storage poses a number of privacy issues. Users wish to preserve full control over their sensitive data and cannot accept that it to be accessible by the remote storage provider. Previous research was made…

RFID has been regarded as a time and money-saving solution for a wide variety of applications, such as manufacturing, supply chain management, and inventory control, etc. However, there are some security problems on RFID in the product…
