In this paper, we initiate a study of asymmetric all-or-nothing transforms (or asymmetric AONTs). A (symmetric) $t$-all-or-nothing transform is a bijective mapping defined on the set of $s$-tuples over a specified finite alphabet. It is…
All-or-nothing transforms (AONT) were proposed by Rivest as a message preprocessing technique for encrypting data to protect against brute-force attacks, and have numerous applications in cryptography and information security. Later the…
We continue a study of unconditionally secure all-or-nothing transforms (AONT) begun in \cite{St}. An AONT is a bijective mapping that constructs s outputs from s inputs. We consider the security of t inputs, when s-t outputs are known.…
A $(t, s, v)$-all-or-nothing transform is a bijective mapping defined on $s$-tuples over an alphabet of size $v$, which satisfies the condition that the values of any $t$ input co-ordinates are completely undetermined, given only the values…
All-or-nothing transforms have been defined as bijective mappings on all s-tuples over a specified finite alphabet. These mappings are required to satisfy certain "perfect security" conditions specified using entropies of the probability…
A $(t,s,v)$-all-or-nothing transform (AONT) is a bijective mapping defined on $s$-tuples over an alphabet of size $v$, which satisfies that if any $s-t$ of the $s$ outputs are given, then the values of any $t$ inputs are completely…
Ensuring Network-on-Chip (NoC) security is crucial to design trustworthy NoC-based System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. While there are various threats that exploit on-chip communication vulnerabilities, eavesdropping attacks via malicious…
In this report, we introduce PE-AONT: a novel algorithm for fast and secure data fragmentation. Initial data are fragmented and only a selected subset of the fragments is encrypted. Further, fragments are transformed using a variation of an…
The problem is related to all-or-nothing transforms (AONT) suggested by Rivest as a preprocessing for encrypting data with a block cipher. Since then there have been various applications of AONTs in cryptography and security. D'Arco,…
Recently, it was realized that anomalies can be completely classified by topological orders, symmetry protected topological (SPT) orders, and symmetry enriched topological orders in one higher dimension. The anomalies that people used to…
As information carriers for fault-tolerant quantum computing, systems composed of anyons exhibit non-tensor product state spaces due to their distinctive fusion rules, leading to fundamentally different entanglement properties from…

In a number of recent papers, the idea of generalized boundaries has found use in fractal and in multiresolution analysis; many of the papers having a focus on specific examples. Parallel with this new insight, and motivated by quantum…
LNT is a modern language for the formal description of concurrent systems. It generalizes traditional process calculi and overcomes their known limitations by incorporating features such as an imperative programming style with direct…
We introduce AOT, an anonymous communication system based on mix network architecture that uses oblivious transfer (OT) to deliver messages. Using OT to deliver messages helps AOT resist blending ($n-1$) attacks and helps AOT preserve…
Foundation models achieve state-of-the-art performance across different tasks, but their size and computational demands raise concerns about accessibility and sustainability. Existing efficiency methods often require additional retraining…
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are increasingly deployed across diverse real-world settings, where they must operate under data distributions that differ from those seen during training. This challenge is central to Domain Generalization…
Black-box adversarial attacks that minimize only the ground-truth confidence suffer from class drift: perturbations wander through the feature space without committing to a specific adversarial class, wasting queries on diffuse, undirected…
Several machine learning models are defined for inputs of any size, such as graphs with different numbers of nodes and point clouds containing varying numbers of points. The universality properties of such any-dimensional models remain…
