For a growing number of applications such as cellular, peer-to-peer, and sensor networks, efficient error-free transmission of data through a network is essential. Toward this end, K\"{o}tter and Kschischang propose the use of subspace…
In this paper, we have proposed a modified cryptographic scheme based on the application of recursive matrices as key in ECC and ElGamal. For encryption, we consider mapping analogous to affine Hill cipher in which a plaintext matrix has…
Encryption schemes often derive their power from the properties of the underlying algebra on the symbols used. Inspired by group theoretic tools, we use the centralizer of a subgroup of operations to present a private-key quantum…
We study an estimator with a convex formulation for recovery of low-rank matrices from rank-one projections. Using initial estimates of the factors of the target $d_1\times d_2$ matrix of rank-$r$, the estimator admits a practical…
The prohibitive sizes of Large Language Models (LLMs) today make it difficult to deploy them on memory-constrained edge devices. This work introduces $\rm CALDERA$ -- a new post-training LLM compression algorithm that harnesses the inherent…
We consider the problem of approximately reconstructing a partially-observed, approximately low-rank matrix. This problem has received much attention lately, mostly using the trace-norm as a surrogate to the rank. Here we study low-rank…
Low Rank Parity Check (LRPC) codes form a class of rank-metric error-correcting codes that was purposely introduced to design public-key encryption schemes. An LRPC code is defined from a parity check matrix whose entries belong to a…
We propose two main contributions: first, we revisit the encryption scheme Rank Quasi-Cyclic (RQC) by introducing new efficient variations, in particular, a new class of codes, the Augmented Gabidulin codes; second, we propose new attacks…

The problem of approximating a matrix by a low-rank one has been extensively studied. This problem assumes, however, that the whole matrix has a low-rank structure. This assumption is often false for real-world matrices. We consider the…
The problem of securing a network coding communication system against a wiretapper adversary is considered. The network implements linear network coding to deliver $n$ packets from source to each receiver, and the wiretapper can eavesdrop…
Key-length extension (KLE) techniques provide a general approach to enhancing the security of block ciphers by using longer keys. There are mainly two classes of KLE techniques, cascade encryption and XOR-cascade encryption. This paper…

Adversarial misuse, particularly through `jailbreaking' that circumvents a model's safety and ethical protocols, poses a significant challenge for Large Language Models (LLMs). This paper delves into the mechanisms behind such successful…
We show that a finite set of integers $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ with $|A+A| \le K |A|$ contains a large piece $X \subseteq A$ with Fre\u{i}man dimension $O(\log K)$, where large means $|A|/|X| \ll \exp(O(\log^2 K))$. This can be thought of…
Given underdetermined measurements of a Positive Semi-Definite (PSD) matrix $X$ of known low rank $K$, we present a new algorithm to estimate $X$ based on recent advances in non-convex optimization schemes. We apply this in particular to…
