Learning from data owned by several parties, as in federated learning, raises challenges regarding the privacy guarantees provided to participants and the correctness of the computation in the presence of malicious parties. We tackle these…
Privacy-preserving geometric intersection (PGI) is an important issue in Secure multiparty computation (SMC). The existing quantum PGI protocols are mainly based on grid coding, which requires a lot of computational complexity. The…
In this work, inspired by secret sharing schemes, we introduce a privacy-preserving approach for network consensus, by which all nodes in a network can reach an agreement on their states without exposing the individual state to neighbors.…
How to query a dataset in the way of preserving the privacy of individuals whose data is included in the dataset is an important problem. The information privacy model, a variant of Shannon's information theoretic model to the encryption…
Blockchains provide environments where parties can interact transparently and securely peer-to-peer without needing a trusted third party. Parties can trust the integrity and correctness of transactions and the verifiable execution of…
One way to classify private set intersection (PSI) for secure 2-party computation is whether the intersection is (a) revealed to both parties or (b) hidden from both parties while only the computing function of the matched payload is…
Designing an efficient protocol for avoiding the threat of recording based attack in presence of a powerful eavesdropper remains a challenge for more than two decades. During authentication, the absence of any secure link between the prover…
Training machine learning models on data from multiple entities without direct data sharing can unlock applications otherwise hindered by business, legal, or ethical constraints. In this work, we design and implement new privacy-preserving…
Data encryption is the primary method of protecting the privacy of consumer device Internet communications from network observers. The ability to automatically detect unencrypted data in network traffic is therefore an essential tool for…
During the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic, Contact Tracing emerged as an essential tool for managing the epidemic. App-based solutions have emerged for Contact Tracing, including a protocol designed by Apple and Google (influenced by an…
Cake-cutting algorithms, which aim to fairly allocate a continuous resource based on individual agent preferences, have seen significant progress over the past two decades. Much of the research has concentrated on fairness, with…
Private handshaking allows pairs of users to determine which (secret) groups they are both a member of. Group membership is kept secret to everybody else. Private handshaking is a more private form of secret handshaking, because it does not…
Cloud computing platforms are being increasingly used for closing feedback control loops, especially when computationally expensive algorithms, such as model-predictive control, are used to optimize performance. Outsourcing of control…
Two protocols of quantum direct communication with authentication [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 73}, 042305 (2006)] are recently proposed by Lee, Lim and Yang. In this paper we will show that in the two protocols the authenticator Trent should be…
Network steganography and covert communication channels have been studied extensively in the past. However, prior works offer minimal practical use for their proposed techniques and are limited to specific use cases and network protocols.…
Consider two data holders, ABC and XYZ, with graph data (e.g., social networks, e-commerce, telecommunication, and bio-informatics). ABC can see that node A is linked to node B, and XYZ can see node B is linked to node C. Node B is the…
The proliferation of large AI models trained on uncurated, often sensitive web-scraped data has raised significant privacy concerns. One of the concerns is that adversaries can extract information about the training data using privacy…
Digital contact tracing has been proposed to support the health authorities in fighting the current Covid-19 pandemic. In this paper we propose two centralised protocols for digital contact tracing that, contrary to the common hypothesis…
One of the applications of quantum technology is to use quantum states and measurements to communicate which offers more reliable security promises. Quantum data hiding, which gives the source party the ability of sharing data among…
We consider information theoretic secret key agreement and secure function computation by multiple parties observing correlated data, with access to an interactive public communication channel. Our main result is an upper bound on the…
