This study presents the first semi-quantum private comparison protocol under an almost-dishonest third party. The proposed protocol allows two classical participants to compare their secret information without compromising it's privacy. The…
Similarity measures play a central role in various data science application domains for a wide assortment of tasks. This guide describes a comprehensive set of prevalent similarity measures to serve both non-experts and professional.…
We consider zero knowledge interactive proofs in a richer, more realistic communication environment. In this setting, one may simultaneously engage in many interactive proofs, and these proofs may take place in an asynchronous fashion. It…
This paper studies the problem of stance detection which aims to predict the perspective (or stance) of a given document with respect to a given claim. Stance detection is a major component of automated fact checking. As annotating stances…
We present a protocol for verification of ``no such entry'' replies from databases. We introduce a new cryptographic primitive as the underlying structure, the keyed hash tree, which is an extension of Merkle's hash tree. We compare our…
We propose a methodology for verifying security properties of network protocols at design level. It can be separated in two main parts: context and requirements analysis and informal verification; and formal representation and procedural…
Dependency analysis is a technique to identify and determine data dependencies between service protocols. Protocols evolving concurrently in the service composition need to impose an order in their execution if there exist data…
Authentication and authorization are two tightly coupled and interrelated concepts which are used to keep transactions secure and help in protecting confidential information. This paper proposes to evaluate the current techniques used for…
Automated claim checking is the task of determining the veracity of a claim given evidence found in a knowledge base of trustworthy facts. While previous work has taken the knowledge base as given and optimized the claim-checking pipeline,…
Scientific fact-checking is vital for assessing claims in specialized domains such as biomedicine and materials science, yet existing systems often hallucinate or apply inconsistent reasoning, especially when verifying technical,…
Three candidate approaches for univariate sumcheck over roots of unity are presented. The first takes the form of a multilinear evaluation protocol, which can be combined with the standard multivariate sumcheck protocol. The other two are…
The counterfactuality of recently proposed protocols is analyzed. A definition of `counterfactuality' is offered and it is argued that an interaction-free measurement of the presence of an opaque object can be named `counterfactual', while…
We present the first quantum anonymous notification (QAN) protocol that introduces anonymity and paves the way for anonymous secure quantum communication in quantum networks. QAN protocol has applications ranging from multiparty quantum…
Cross-domain biometrics has been emerging as a new necessity, which poses several additional challenges, including harsh illumination changes, noise, pose variation, among others. In this paper, we explore approaches to cross-domain face…
This paper presents a framework for securing blockchain-based IoT systems by integrating Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) within a Hyperledger Fabric environment. The proposed framework leverages PUFs…
Transfer learning methods, and in particular domain adaptation, help exploit labeled data in one domain to improve the performance of a certain task in another domain. However, it is still not clear what factors affect the success of domain…
Tables extracted from web documents can be used to directly answer many web search queries. Previous works on question answering (QA) using web tables have focused on factoid queries, i.e., those answerable with a short string like person…
Identification schemes are interactive protocols typically involving two parties, a prover, who wants to provide evidence of his or her identity and a verifier, who checks the provided evidence and decide whether it comes or not from the…
Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) are trained on vast unlabeled data, rich in world knowledge. This fact has sparked the interest of the community in quantifying the amount of factual knowledge present in PLMs, as this explains their…
Prior studies of zero-shot stance detection identify the attitude of texts towards unseen topics occurring in the same document corpus. Such task formulation has three limitations: (i) Single domain/dataset. A system is optimized on a…
