Background: The secure management of sensitive clinical data, particularly human genomics data, has become a critical requirement in modern biomedical research. Although the necessary software and algorithms are readily available, their use…
Android is the most widely deployed end-user focused operating system. With its growing set of use cases encompassing communication, navigation, media consumption, entertainment, finance, health, and access to sensors, actuators, cameras,…
We propose cryptographic protocols to incorporate time provenance guarantees while meeting confidentiality and controlled sharing needs for research data. We demonstrate the efficacy of these mechanisms by developing and benchmarking a…
On-demand authentication is critical for scalable quantum systems, yet current approaches require the signer to initiate communication, creating unnecessary overhead. We introduce a new method where the verifier can request authentication…
Private messaging over internet related services is difficult to implement. Regular end-to-end encryption messaging systems are prone to man in the middle attacks and only hide messages but not the identity of its users. For example,…
While the study of language as typed on smartphones offers valuable insights, existing data collection methods often fall short in providing contextual information and ensuring user privacy. We present a privacy-respectful approach -…
As the field of Web3 continues its rapid expansion, the security of Web3 authentication, often the gateway to various Web3 applications, becomes increasingly crucial. Despite its widespread use as a login method by numerous Web3…
Quantum communication is an important application that derives from the burgeoning field of quantum information and quantum computation. Focusing on secure communication, quantum cryptography has two major directions of development, namely…
Although the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) in enterprise settings brings new opportunities and capabilities, it also brings challenges, such as the risk of generating inappropriate, biased, or misleading content that violates…
Mobile Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing diverse fields such as healthcare, finance, and education with their ability to perform advanced natural language processing tasks on-the-go. However, the deployment of these models in…
Sensor technologies have evolved to a point where it is now practical to monitor products along the supply chain. The collected data can be stored in a decentralized way using blockchain technology. However, ensuring the reliability of the…
On a daily basis, law enforcement officers struggle with suspects using mobile communication applications for criminal activities. These mobile applications replaced SMS-messaging and evolved the last few years from plain-text data…
Experimental research methods describe standards to safeguard scientific integrity and reputability. These methods have been extensively integrated into traditional scientific disciplines and studied in the philosophy of science. The field…
Monitoring location updates from mobile users has important applications in many areas, ranging from public safety and national security to social networks and advertising. However, sensitive information can be derived from movement…
Steganography is the practice of concealing a message within some other carrier or cover message. It is used to allow the sending of hidden information through communication channels where third parties would only be aware of the explicit…
Cloud Service Providers, such as Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Web Services, offer continuously evolving cloud services. It is a growing industry. Businesses, such as Netflix and PayPal, rely on the Cloud for data…
Data breaches-mass leakage of stored information-are a major security concern. Encryption can provide confidentiality, but encryption depends on a key which, if compromised, allows the attacker to decrypt everything, effectively instantly.…
We introduce Texygen, a benchmarking platform to support research on open-domain text generation models. Texygen has not only implemented a majority of text generation models, but also covered a set of metrics that evaluate the diversity,…
In today's digital age, the internet is essential for communication and the sharing of information, creating a critical need for sophisticated data security measures to prevent unauthorized access and exploitation. Cryptography encrypts…
