Supply chain data management faces challenges in traceability, transparency, and trust. These issues stem from data silos and communication barriers. This research introduces DIDChain, a framework leveraging blockchain technology,…
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols require Information-Theoretically Secure (ITS) authentication of the classical channel to preserve the unconditional security of the distilled key. Standard ITS schemes are based on one-time keys:…
We consider the problem of identification and authentication based on secret key generation from some user-generated source data (e.g., a biometric source). The goal is to reliably identify users pre-enrolled in a database as well as…
We design and develop a secret-sharing-scheme-based cyberattack detection model(S3CDM)that can detect unauthorized or illegal activities (especially insider attacks) and protect sensitive information within complex network infrastructures…
Most existing methods tackle the problem of occluded person re-identification (ReID) by utilizing auxiliary models, resulting in a complicated and inefficient ReID framework that is unacceptable for real-time applications. In this work, a…
The issue of identifiers is crucial in distributed computing. Informally, identities are used for tackling two of the fundamental difficulties that areinherent to deterministic distributed computing, namely: (1) symmetry breaking, and (2)…
