Recent cyber-attacks on power grids highlight the necessity to protect the critical functionalities of a control center vital for the safe operation of a grid. Even in a distributed framework one central control center acts as a coordinator…

Known key exchange schemes offering information-theoretic (unconditional) security are complex and costly to implement. Nonetheless, they remain the only known methods for achieving unconditional security in key exchange. Therefore, the…

Pre-shared keys (PSK) have been widely used in network security. Nonetheless, existing PSK solutions are not scalable. Moreover, whenever a new user joins a network, PSK requires an existing user to get a new key before they are able to…

In this letter we propose Meta-key, a data-sharing mechanism that enables users share their encrypted data under a blockchain-based decentralized storage architecture. All the data-encryption keys are encrypted by the owner's public key and…

The multicast key-dissemination problem over noiseless networks, introduced by Langberg and Effros [ITW 2022], here called the ``key-cast'' problem, captures the task of disseminating a shared secret random key to a set of terminals over a…

This paper studies the fundamental limits of the shared-link coded caching problem with correlated files, where a server with a library of $N$ files communicates with $K$ users who can locally cache $M$ files. Given an integer $r \in [N]$,…
