Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have established themselves as a key component in addressing diverse graph-based tasks. Despite their notable successes, GNNs remain susceptible to input perturbations in the form of adversarial attacks. This…

Federated Learning (FL) as a distributed learning paradigm that aggregates information from diverse clients to train a shared global model, has demonstrated great success. However, malicious clients can perform poisoning attacks and model…

We call quantum security the area of IT security dealing with scenarios where one or more parties have access to quantum hardware. This encompasses both the fields of post-quantum cryptography (that is, traditional cryptography engineered…

The most important characteristic of a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol is its security against third-party attacks, and the potential countermeasures available. While new types of attacks are regularly developed in the literature,…

Collaborative threat intelligence via federated learning (FL) faces critical risks from quantum computing, which can compromise classical encryption methods. This study proposes a quantum-secure FL framework using post-quantum cryptography…

Graph machine learning has advanced rapidly in tasks such as link prediction, anomaly detection, and node classification. As models scale up, pretrained graph models have become valuable intellectual assets because they encode extensive…

Ensuring safety of large language models (LLMs) is important. Red teaming--a systematic approach to identifying adversarial prompts that elicit harmful responses from target LLMs--has emerged as a crucial safety evaluation method. Within…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible and scalable network control and management. However, it also introduces new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. In particular, low-rate and slow or stealthy…

The advent of quantum computing threatens classical cryptographic mechanisms, demanding new strategies for securing communication networks. Since real-world networks cannot be fully Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-enabled due to…

In finance, predictive models must balance accuracy and interpretability, particularly in credit risk assessment, where model decisions carry material consequences. We present a quantum neural network (QNN) based on a single qudit, in which…

Ability to effectively investigate indicators of compromise and associated network resources involved in cyber attacks is paramount not only to identify affected network resources but also to detect related malicious resources. Today, most…

With the developing of the attack and defense technology, the cyber environment has been more and more sophisticated. We failed to give an accurate evaluation of network security situation, as we lack a more accurate quantitative evaluation…

The complex and evolving threat landscape of frontier AI development requires a multi-layered approach to risk management ("defense-in-depth"). By reviewing cybersecurity and AI frameworks, we outline three approaches that can help identify…

As quantum computing continues to advance, its ability to compromise widely used cryptographic systems projects a significant challenge to modern cybersecurity. This paper outlines a strategic roadmap for industries to anticipate and…

We propose a characteristics-augmented quantile factor (QCF) model, where unknown factor loading functions are linked to a large set of observed individual-level (e.g., bond- or stock-specific) covariates via a single-index projection. The…

Graph models are helpful means of analyzing computer networks as well as complex system architectures for security. In this paper we evaluate the current state of research for representing and analysing cyber-attack using graph models, i.e.…
