Security and reliability are primary concerns in any computing paradigm including quantum computing. Currently users can access quantum computers through a cloud based platform where they can run their programs on a suite of quantum…
There are increasing concerns about possible malicious modifications of integrated circuits (ICs) used in critical applications. Such attacks are often referred to as hardware Trojans. While many techniques focus on hardware Trojan…
Traditional security architectures are becoming more vulnerable to distributed attacks due to significant dependence on trust. This will further escalate when implementing agentic AI within the systems, as more components must be secured…
Cloud-based services have become part of our day-to-day software solutions. The identity authentication process is considered to be the main gateway to these services. As such, these gates have become increasingly susceptible to aggressive…
We present Trust<T>, a general, type- and memory-safe alternative to locking in concurrent programs. Instead of synchronizing multi-threaded access to an object of type T with a lock, the programmer may place the object in a Trust<T>. The…
The majority of systems rely on user authentication on passwords, but passwords have so many weaknesses and widespread use that easily raise significant security concerns, regardless of their encrypted form. Users hold the same password for…
The next generation of the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates the integration of the notion of social networking into smart objects (i.e., things) in a bid to establish the social network of interconnected objects. This integration has…
