Fractal percolation exhibits a dramatic topological phase transition, changing abruptly from a dust-like set to a system spanning cluster. The transition points are unknown and difficult to estimate. In many classical percolation models the…
Reversibility is a key issue in the interface between computation and physics, and of growing importance as miniaturization progresses towards its physical limits. Most foundational work on reversible computing to date has focussed on…
Modern technology unintentionally provides resources that enable the trust of everyday interactions to be undermined. Some authentication schemes address this issue using devices that give unique outputs in response to a challenge. These…
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets stored on the blockchain and is used to certify ownership and authenticity of the digital asset. NFTs were first created in 2014 while their popularity peaked between 2021 and 2022. In…
Program obfuscation is a widely employed approach for software intellectual property protection. However, general obfuscation methods (e.g., lexical obfuscation, control obfuscation) implemented in mainstream obfuscation tools are heuristic…
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are promising security primitives for resource-constrained IoT devices. And the XOR Arbiter PUF (XOR-PUF) is one of the most studied PUFs, out of an effort to improve the resistance against machine…
The rapid development of the semiconductor industry and the ubiquity of electronic devices have led to a significant increase in the counterfeiting of integrated circuits (ICs). This poses a major threat to public health, the banking…
The existence of pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) -- efficient quantum circuits that are computationally indistinguishable from Haar-random unitaries -- has been a central open question, with significant implications for cryptography,…
Embedded software used in industrial systems frequently relies on data that ensures the correct and efficient operation of these systems. Thus, companies invest considerable resources in fine-tuning this data, making it their valuable…
In this paper, we mainly establish the uncertainty principle (UP) for a function and its quaternion Fractional Fourier transform (QFrFT), as well as the UP for two QFrFTs. Using the polar representation of quaternion-valued signals, we give…
From first principles, the author gathers a few general rules that need to be abided by in the calculation of the internal partition functions (IPFs) of individual molecules. These rules are violated in many schemes in the literature where…
