This work analyzes the security weakness of a recently proposed communication method based on chaotic modulation and masking using synchronization of two chaotic systems with different orders. It is shown that its application to secure…
This paper considers a multi-message secure aggregation with privacy problem, in which a server aims to compute $\sf K_c\geq 1$ linear combinations of local inputs from $\sf K$ distributed users. The problem addresses two tasks: (1)…
A symmetric key encryption scheme is described for blocks of general size N that is a product of powers of many prime numbers. This is accomplished by realising each number (representing a message unit) as a point in a product of affine…
In the splitting model, information theoretic authentication codes allow non-deterministic encoding, that is, several messages can be used to communicate a particular plaintext. Certain applications require that the aspect of secrecy should…
Secret-sharing building blocks based on quantum broadcast communication are studied. The confidential capacity region of the pure-loss bosonic broadcast channel is determined, both with and without key assistance, and an achievable region…

We consider compound multi-input multi-output (MIMO) wiretap channels where minimal channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) is assumed. Code construction is given for the special case of isotropic mutual information, which…
Secure aggregation, which is a core component of federated learning, aggregates locally trained models from distributed users at a central server. The ``secure'' nature of such aggregation consists of the fact that no information about the…
To study the communication between information systems, Wang et al. [C. Wang, C. Wu, D. Chen, Q. Hu, and C. Wu, Communicating between information systems, Information Sciences 178 (2008) 3228-3239] proposed two concepts of type-1 and type-2…
We present efficient and practical algorithms for a large, distributed system of processors to achieve reliable computations in a secure manner. Specifically, we address the problem of computing a general function of several private inputs…
We study the amplification of security against quantum attacks provided by iteration of block ciphers. In the classical case, the Meet-in-the-middle attack is a generic attack against those constructions. This attack reduces the time…
We consider colored compositions where only some parts are allowed different colors, depending on their locations in the composition. The counting sequences are obtained through generating functions. Connections to many other combinatorial…
Distributed system theory literature often argues for correctness using an informal, Hoare-like style of reasoning. While these arguments are intuitive, they have not all been foolproof, and whether they directly correspond to formal proofs…

This paper studies the security of a secure communication scheme based on two discrete-time intermittently-chaotic systems synchronized via a common random driving signal. Some security defects of the scheme are revealed: 1) the key space…
