Now that SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccines are developed, it is very important to plan its distribution strategy. In this paper, we formulated a multi-objective linear programming model to optimize vaccine distribution and applied it to the…
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides an efficient means to exchange information in an unconditionally secure way. Historically, QKD protocols have been based on binary signal formats, such as two polarisation states, and the transmitted…
We present a result of side-channel-secure (SCS) quantum key distribution (QKD) under fully realistic conditions. Our result is not only measurement-device independent but also effective with imperfect (and unstable) source devices…
We propose two schemes for selective-repeat ARQ protocols over packet erasure channels with unreliable feedback: (i) a hybrid ARQ protocol with soft combining at the receiver, and (ii) a coded ARQ protocol, by building on the uncoded…
The paper uses machine learning and mathematical modeling to predict future vaccine distribution and solve the problem of allocating vaccines to different types of hospitals. They collected data and analyzed it, finding factors such as…
COVID-19 vaccines have been rolled out in many countries and with them a number of vaccination certificates. For instance, the EU is utilizing a digital certificate in the form of a QR-code that is digitally signed and can be easily…
Web browsers are increasingly used as middleware platforms offering a central access point for service provision. Using backend containerization, RESTful APIs, and distributed computing allows for complex systems to be realized that address…
Vaccination is an effective way to prevent and control the occurrence and epidemic of infectious diseases. However, many factors influence whether the residents decide to get vaccinated or not, such as the efficacy and side effects while…
We propose efficient-phase-encoding protocols for continuous-variable quantum key distribution using coherent states and postselection. By these phase encodings, the probability of basis mismatch is reduced and total efficiency is…
DataProAnalytica is a powerful application for analyzing vaccination data in health care professionals. Through visualizations and multiple correspondence analysis, it uncovers meaningful relationships between variables and categories. The…
E-payments are essential for transactional convenience in today's digital economy and are becoming increasingly important for older adults, emphasizing the need for enhanced security, privacy, and usability. To address this, we conducted a…
An insufficient supply of effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in most countries demands an effective vaccination strategy to minimize the damage caused by the disease. Currently, many countries vaccinate their population in descending order of age…
Nowadays, academic certificates are still widely issued in paper format. Traditional certificate verification is a lengthy, manually intensive, and sometimes expensive process. In this paper, we propose a novel NFT-based certificate…
This paper presents a novel approach to multiple access control called coded splitting tree protocol. The approach builds on the known tree splitting protocols, code structure and successive interference cancellation (SIC). Several…
In this thesis, a multimodal biometric, secure encrypted data and encrypted biometric encoded into the QR code-based biometric-passport authentication method is proposed for national security applications. Firstly, using the Extended…
Deepfakes can degrade the fabric of society by limiting our ability to trust video content from leaders, authorities, and even friends. Cryptographically secure digital signatures may be used by video streaming platforms to endorse content,…
This paper introduces a new method of Blockchain formation for reliable storage of personal data of ID-card holders. In particular, the model of the information system is presented, the new structure of smart ID-cards and information on…
Designing effective strategies for controlling epidemic spread by vaccination is an important question in epidemiology, especially in the early stages when vaccines are limited. This is a challenging question when the contact network is…
We study the interaction between epidemic spreading and a vaccination process. We assume that, similar to the disease spreading, also the vaccination process occurs through direct contact, i.e., it follows the standard…
The Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus represents an unprecedented crisis for our planet. It is a bane of the \"uber connected world that we live in that this virus has affected almost all countries and…
