This paper presents a novel post-quantum cryptosystem based on high-memory masked convolutional codes. Unlike conventional code-based schemes that rely on block codes with fixed dimensions and limited error-correction capability, our…
Regenerating codes enable trading off repair bandwidth for storage in distributed storage systems (DSS). Due to their distributed nature, these systems are intrinsically susceptible to attacks, and they may also be subject to multiple…
The security significance of the trace distance security criterion $d$ is analyzed in terms of operational probabilities of an attacker's success in identifying different subsets of the generated key, both during the key generation process…
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are characterized by wired or wireless communication among different entities, such as vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and traffic management infrastructure. These communications demand different…
In the two-part paper, we consider the problem of secure network coding when the information rate and the security level can change over time. To efficiently solve this problem, we put forward local-encoding-preserving secure network…
This paper introduces the notion of cache-tapping into the information theoretic models of coded caching. The wiretap channel II in the presence of multiple receivers equipped with fixed-size cache memories, and an adversary which selects…
Constructing cryptographic schemes with tight or almost-tight security has long been one of the central problems in theoretical cryptography. At ASIACRYPT 2016, Boyen and Li posed an open problem: whether it is possible to construct a…
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis on the security of the Yi-Tan-Siew chaotic cipher proposed in [IEEE TCAS-I 49(12):1826-1829 (2002)]. A differential chosen-plaintext attack and a differential chosen-ciphertext attack are…
Extending the functionality and overcoming the performance limitation under which QKD can operate requires either quantum repeaters or new security models. Investigating the latter option, we introduce the \textit{Quantum Computational…
Embedded Systems (ES) development has been historically focused on functionality rather than security, and today it still applies in many sectors and applications. However, there is an increasing number of security threats over ES, and a…
This paper introduces a Continuously Variable Series Reactor (CVSR) to the transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem. The CVSR is a FACTS-like device which has the capability of controlling the overall impedance of the transmission…
With the ever increasing volume of information over wireless medium, security has assumed an important dimension. The security of transmitted data over a wireless channel aims at protecting the data from unauthorized intrusion. Wireless…
The growth of cloud computing has revolutionized data processing and storage capacities to another levels of scalability and flexibility. But in the process, it has created a huge challenge of security, especially in terms of safeguarding…
Constrained devices, such as smart sensors, wearable devices, and Internet of Things nodes, are increasingly prevalent in society and rely on secure communications to function properly. These devices often operate autonomously, exchanging…
In a quantum Trojan-horse attack (THA), eavesdroppers learn encoded information by injecting bright light into encoded or decoded devices of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. These attacks severely compromise the security of…
We furnish a procedure based on universal hash families (UHFs) that can convert an error correcting coding scheme (ECC) of rate $R$ into a semantically secure wiretap coding scheme of rate $R - \xi$ where $\xi$ is a parameter derived from…
Recently, a secrecy measure based on list-reconstruction has been proposed [2], in which a wiretapper is allowed to produce a list of $2^{mR_{L}}$ reconstruction sequences and the secrecy is measured by the minimum distortion over the…
Cloud storage is a new computing paradigm that allows users to store their data in the cloud and access them anytime anywhere through the Internet. To address the various security issues that may arise in the cloud storage accessed by a…
This document presents TLS and how to make it secure enough as of 2014 Spring. Of course all the information given here will rot with time. Protocols known as secure will be cracked and will be replaced with better versions. Fortunately we…
The deployment of large language models (LLMs) on third-party devices requires new ways to protect model intellectual property. While Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) offer a promising solution, their performance limits can lead to a…
