Pseudorandom codes (PRCs), introduced by Christ and Gunn (CRYPTO '2024), are error-correcting codes whose codewords are computationally indistinguishable from uniformly random strings, while still being decodable by someone holding the key.…
In this paper we address the problem of large space consumption for protocols in the Bounded Retrieval Model (BRM), which require users to store large secret keys subject to adversarial leakage. We propose a method to derive keys for such…
Generating secure random numbers is a central problem in cryptography that needs a reliable source of enough computing entropy. Without enough entropy available - meaning no good source of secure random numbers - a device is susceptible to…
Traditional cryptography assumes an eavesdropper receives an error-free copy of the transmitted ciphertext. Wyner's wiretap channel model recognizes that at the physical layer both the intended receiver and the passive eavesdropper…
We investigate the problem of maintaining an encoded distributed storage system when some nodes contain adversarial errors. Using the error-correction capabilities that are built into the existing redundancy of the system, we propose a…
This paper investigates unequal error protection (UEP) in digital semantic communication, where semantically important bits require substantially higher reliability than less critical ones. To characterize this heterogeneity, we introduce a…

How to provide information security while fulfilling ultra reliability and low-latency requirements is one of the major concerns for enabling the next generation of ultra-reliable and low-latency communications service (xURLLC), specially…
The problem of secure broadcasting with independent secret keys is studied. The particular scenario is analyzed in which a common message has to be broadcast to two legitimate receivers, while keeping an external eavesdropper ignorant of…
Disclosure of data analytics results has important scientific and commercial justifications. However, no data shall be disclosed without a diligent investigation of risks for privacy of subjects. Privug is a tool-supported method to explore…
Strong confidentiality, integrity, user control, reliability and performance are critical requirements in privacy-sensitive applications. Such applications would benefit from a data storage and sharing infrastructure that provides these…
Balancing the needs of data privacy and predictive utility is a central challenge for machine learning in healthcare. In particular, privacy concerns have led to a dearth of public datasets, complicated the construction of multi-hospital…
Electronic devices and cables inadvertently emit RF emissions as a byproduct of signal processing and/or transmission. Labeled as electromagnetic emanations, they form an EM side-channel for data leakage. Previously, it was believed that…
When elementary quantum systems, such as polarized photons, are used to transmit digital information, the uncertainty principle gives rise to novel cryptographic phenomena unachievable with traditional transmission media, e.g. a…
We study a well-known communication abstraction called Uniform Reliable Broadcast (URB). URB is central in the design and implementation of fault-tolerant distributed systems, as many non-trivial fault-tolerant distributed applications…
Modern encryption algorithms form the foundation of digital security. However, the widespread use of encryption algorithms results in significant challenges for network defenders in identifying which specific algorithms are being employed.…
A while ago, I developed what I called an encryption method. The most favorable of reviews did not see a method but a collection of techniques. Be that as it may, the process used, is described in the paper, Windtalking Computers. This…
We consider the problem of revealing/sharing data in an efficient and secure way via a compact representation. The representation should ensure reliable reconstruction of the desired features/attributes while still preserve privacy of the…
Steganography embeds confidential data within seemingly innocuous communications. Provable security in steganography, a long-sought goal, has become feasible with deep generative models. However, existing methods face a critical trade-off…
