Numerous electronic cash schemes have been proposed over the years - however none have been embraced by financial institutions as an alternative to fiat currency. David Chaum's ecash scheme was the closest to something that mimicked a…

Fair exchange protocols let two mutually distrustful parties exchange digital data in a way that neither party can cheat. They have various applications such as the exchange of digital items, or the exchange of digital coins and digital…

Steganography is an information hiding technique in which secret data are secured by covering them into a computer carrier file without damaging the file or changing its size. The difference between steganography and cryptography is that…

Blockchains are decentralized and immutable databases that are shared among the nodes of the network. Although blockchains have attracted a great scale of attention in the recent years by disrupting the traditional financial systems, the…

Sketching is a randomized dimensionality-reduction method that aims to preserve relevant information in large-scale datasets. Count sketch is a simple popular sketch which uses a randomized hash function to achieve compression. In this…

Current post-trade clearing systems rely almost exclusively on cash or cash-like collateral, leaving vast reserves of short-term liquidity embedded in trade credit outside formal settlement infrastructures. A key barrier to integrating this…

Modern data stores achieve scalability by partitioning data into shards and fault-tolerance by replicating each shard across several servers. A key component of such systems is a Transaction Certification Service (TCS), which atomically…

It is known that JPEG images uploaded to social networks (SNs) are mostly re-compressed by the social network providers. Because of such a situation, a new image identification scheme for double-compressed JPEG images is proposed in this…

In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving machine learning scheme with encrypted images, called EtC (Encryption-then-Compression) images. Using machine learning algorithms in cloud environments has been spreading in many fields.…

As Facial Recognition System(FRS) is widely applied in areas such as access control and mobile payments due to its convenience and high accuracy. The security of facial recognition is also highly regarded. The Face anti-spoofing system(FAS)…

The rapid growth of digital images motivates individuals and organizations to upload their images to the cloud server. To preserve privacy, image owners would prefer to encrypt the images before uploading, but it would strongly limit the…

In medical image segmentation tasks, diffusion models have shown significant potential. However, mainstream diffusion models suffer from drawbacks such as multiple sampling times and slow prediction results. Recently, consistency models, as…

Cloud-assisted image services are widely used for various applications. Due to the high computational complexity of existing image encryption technology, it is extremely challenging to provide privacy preserving image services for…

Unauthorized credit inquiries are also a central entry point for identity theft, with Social Security Numbers (SSNs) being widely utilized in fraudulent cases. Traditional credit inquiry systems do not usually possess strict user…

We propose an image identification scheme for double-compressed encrypted JPEG images that aims to identify encrypted JPEG images that are generated from an original JPEG image. To store images without any visual sensitive information on…

We focus on the problem of checkpointing (or taking a snapshot) in fully replicated eventually consistent distributed databases. In particular, we consider the problem of taking Distributed Transaction-Consistent Snapshots (DTCS). A typical…

As the core technology behind Bitcoin, Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof, and traceable features make it the preferred platform for organizational innovation. In current Bitcoin, block reward is halved every four years, and…

This paper presents the performance of an AC transmission switching (TS) based real-time contingency analysis (RTCA) tool that is introduced in Part I of this paper. The approach quickly proposes high quality corrective switching actions…

This work proposes Steganographic technique for hiding multiple images in a color image based on DWT and DCT. The cover image is decomposed into three separate color planes namely R, G and B. Individual planes are decomposed into subbands…

Secret sharing of a quantum state, or quantum secret sharing, in which a dealer wants to share certain amount of quantum information with a few players, has wide applications in quantum information. The critical criterion in a threshold…
