Federated learning (FL) has sparked extensive interest in exploiting the private data on clients' local devices. However, the parameter server setting of FL not only has high bandwidth requirements, but also poses data privacy issues and a…
Given the increased percentage of wind power in power systems, chance-constrained optimal power flow (CC-OPF) calculation, as a means to take wind power uncertainty into account with a guaranteed security level, is being promoted. Compared…
We develop an optimization-free framework for safe stabilization of single-input control-affine nonlinear systems with a given control Lyapunov function (CLF) and a given control barrier function (CBF), where the desired equilibrium lies in…
We propose a new formal criterion for secure compilation, providing strong security guarantees for components written in unsafe, low-level languages with C-style undefined behavior. Our criterion goes beyond recent proposals, which protect…
In the recently emerging field of nonabelian group-based cryptography, a prominently used one-way function is the Conjugacy Search Problem (CSP), and two important classes of platform groups are polycyclic and matrix groups. In this paper,…
Collaborative learning allows participants to jointly train a model without data sharing. To update the model parameters, the central server broadcasts model parameters to the clients, and the clients send updating directions such as…
The paper presents a novel sample-based algorithm, called C*, for real-time coverage path planning (CPP) of unknown environments. C* is built upon the concept of a Rapidly Covering Graph (RCG), which is incrementally constructed during…
In Cloud Computing Architecture, Brokers are responsible to provide services to the end users. An Effective Cost Management System (ECMS) which works over Secure Cloud Communication Paradigm (SCCP) helps in finding a communication link with…
General program synthesis has become an important application area for genetic programming (GP), and for artificial intelligence more generally. Code Building Genetic Programming (CBGP) is a recently introduced GP method for general program…
Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as powerful tools for detecting software vulnerabilities, where task-specific fine-tuning is typically employed to provide vulnerability-specific knowledge to the LLMs. However, existing…
Since ML algorithms have proven their success in many different applications, there is also a big interest in privacy preserving (PP) ML methods for building models on sensitive data. Moreover, the increase in the number of data sources and…
Automated matching engines execute millions of orders per session, yet systematic asymmetries in latency, order size, and market access compound into persistent execution disparities that erode participant trust. We formulate provably fair…
We consider the class of conditional graph patterns (\emph{CGPs}) that allow user to query data graphs with complex patterns that contain negation and predicates. To overcome the prohibitive cost of subgraph isomorphism, we consider…
Security is an important facet of integrated circuit design for many applications. IP privacy and Trojan insertion are growing threats as circuit fabrication in advanced nodes almost inevitably relies on untrusted foundries. A proposed…
We propose LCMsec, a brokerless, decentralised Publish/Subscribe protocol. It aims to provide low-latency and high-throughput message-passing for IoT and automotive applications while providing much-needed security functionalities to combat…
We consider a problem, which we call secure grouping, of dividing a number of parties into some subsets (groups) in the following manner: Each party has to know the other members of his/her group, while he/she may not know anything about…
Users often wish to participate in online groups anonymously, but misbehaving users may abuse this anonymity to spam or disrupt the group. Messaging protocols such as Mix-nets and DC-nets leave online groups vulnerable to denial-of-service…
We give a public key encryption scheme with plausible quasi-exponential security based on the conjectured intractability of two constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), both of which are instantiated with a corruption rate of $1 - o(1)$.…
Generating samples from the output distribution of a quantum circuit is a ubiquitous task used as a building block of many quantum algorithms. Here we show how to accomplish this task on a noisy quantum processor lacking full-blown error…
Privacy policies have emerged as the predominant approach to conveying privacy notices to mobile application users. In an effort to enhance both readability and user engagement, the concept of contextual privacy policies (CPPs) has been…
