Reliable and secure human-machine communication is fundamental to IoT and cyber-physical ecosystems, where smartphones and wearables commonly serve as authentication controllers. PIN-based authentication can be viewed as a low-bandwidth…
This research proposes Finger Based Technique (FBT) for non-visual touch screen device interaction designed for blind users. Based on the proposed technique, the blind user can access virtual keys based on finger holding positions. Three…
Vision-language models have showcased impressive zero-shot classification capabilities when equipped with suitable text prompts. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of test-time prompt tuning; however, these methods typically…
We propose a graphical authentication scheme that follows a simple ``Pick and Sort'' design in which users choose visual elements and arrange them within a grid. Both the number of selected elements and the grid size are configurable, and…
Although feature models are widely used in practice, for example, representing variability in software product lines, their integration is still a challenge. Many integration techniques have been proposed, although none of these have proven…
Bit retrieval, the problem of determining a binary sequence from its cyclic autocorrelation, is a special case of the phase retrieval problem. Algorithms for phase retrieval are extensively used in several scientific disciplines, and yet,…
In order to submit a claim to insurance companies, a doctor needs to code a patient encounter with both the diagnosis (ICDs) and procedures performed (CPTs) in an Electronic Health Record (EHR). Identifying and applying relevant procedures…
Integrated photonic circuits have a strong potential to perform quantum information processing. Indeed, the ability to manipulate quantum states of light by integrated devices may open new perspectives both for fundamental tests of quantum…
In this paper, a new image encryption scheme using a secret key of 144-bits is proposed. In the substitution process of the scheme, image is divided into blocks and subsequently into color components. Each color component is modified by…
In deep learning, test-time adaptation has gained attention as a method for model fine-tuning without the need for labeled data. A prime exemplification is the recently proposed test-time prompt tuning for large-scale vision-language models…
In this study, we explore the effectiveness of persuasive messages endorsing the adoption of a privacy protection technology (IoT Inspector) tailored to individuals' regulatory focus (promotion or prevention). We explore if and how…
The Internet of Things (IoT) being a promising technology of the future is expected to connect billions of devices. The increased number of communication is expected to generate mountains of data and the security of data can be a threat.…
We introduce quantum pin codes: a class of quantum CSS codes. Quantum pin codes are a generalization of quantum color codes and Reed-Muller codes and share a lot of their structure and properties. Pin codes have gauge operators, an…
**Context:** The design of static type systems that can validate dynamically-typed programs (**gradually**) is an ongoing challenge. A key difficulty is that dynamic code rarely follows datatype-driven design. Programs instead use runtime…
The realization of strong photon-photon interactions has presented an enduring challenge across photonics, particularly in quantum computing, where two-photon gates form essential components for scalable quantum information processing…
In the context of biometrics, matching confidence refers to the confidence that a given matching decision is correct. Since many biometric systems operate in critical decision-making processes, such as in forensics investigations,…
We introduce \`A-la-carte Prompt Tuning (APT), a transformer-based scheme to tune prompts on distinct data so that they can be arbitrarily composed at inference time. The individual prompts can be trained in isolation, possibly on different…
We present magnetic fingerprints; an input technique for mobile touchscreen devices that uses a small magnet attached to a user's fingernail in order to differentiate between a normal touch and a magnetic touch. The polarity of the magnet…
Color separations (most often cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) are commonly used in printing to reproduce multi-color images. For mechanical reasons, these color separations are generally not perfectly aligned with respect to each other…
With the rapid advancement in technology, smart homes have become applicable and so the need arise to solve the security challenges that are accompanied with its operation. Passwords and identity cards have been used as traditional…
