A two-phase beamforming solution for secure communication using untrusted relay nodes is presented. To thwart eavesdropping attempts of relay nodes, we deliberately introduce artificial noise in the source message. After pointing out the…
The degraded performance and group unfairness caused by confounding sensitive attributes in rumor detection remains relatively unexplored. To address this, we propose a two-step framework. Initially, it identifies confounding sensitive…
In this paper, we study covert communications between {a pair of} legitimate transmitter-receiver against a watchful warden over slow fading channels. There coexist multiple friendly helper nodes who are willing to protect the covert…
Certified randomness guaranteed to be unpredictable by adversaries is central to information security. The fundamental randomness inherent in quantum physics makes certification possible from devices that are only weakly characterised, i.e.…
Novel bitwise retransmission schemes are devised which retransmit only the bits received with small reliability. The retransmissions are used to accumulate the reliabilities of individual bits. Unlike the conventional automatic repeat…
While network coding can be an efficient means of information dissemination in networks, it is highly susceptible to "pollution attacks," as the injection of even a single erroneous packet has the potential to corrupt each and every packet…
Cooperative jamming is an approach that has been recently proposed for improving physical layer based security for wireless networks in the presence of an eavesdropper. While the source transmits its message to its destination, a relay node…
We consider the problem of secure communications over the two-way wiretap channel under a strong secrecy criterion. We improve existing results by developing an achievable region based on strategies that exploit both the interference at the…
Certified randomness can be generated with untrusted remote quantum computers using multiple known protocols, one of which has been recently realized experimentally. Unlike the randomness sources accessible on today's classical computers,…
Currently there exist many blockchains with weak trust guarantees, limiting applications and participation. Existing solutions to boost the trust using a stronger blockchain, e.g., via checkpointing, requires the weaker blockchain to give…

Two misuses of one-time pad in improving the efficiency of quantum communication are pointed out. One happens when using some message bits to encrypt others, the other exists because the key bits are not truly random. Both of them result in…
We develop cryptographically secure techniques to guarantee unconditional privacy for respondents to polls. Our constructions are efficient and practical, and are shown not to allow cheating respondents to affect the ``tally'' by more than…
