Even though a method to perfectly sign quantum messages has not been known, the arbitrated quantum signature scheme has been considered as one of good candidates. However, its forgery problem has been an obstacle to the scheme being a…
An $(n,k)$ maximum distance separable (MDS) code has optimal repair access if the minimum number of symbols accessed from $d$ surviving nodes is achieved, where $k+1\le d\le n-1$. Existing results show that the sub-packetization $\alpha$ of…
In this paper, through considering lightweight cryptography, we present a comparative realization of MDS matrices used in the VLSI implementations of lightweight cryptography. We verify the MixColumn/MixNibble transformation using MDS…
Post-quantum migration in TLS 1.3 couples signature-algorithm choice with certificate-hierarchy structure, chain exposure during the handshake, and role-dependent cryptographic cost. In certificate-based authentication, the practical effect…
The widespread use of large language models (LLMs) is increasing the demand for methods that detect machine-generated text to prevent misuse. The goal of our study is to stress test the detectors' robustness to malicious attacks under…
Threshold digital signatures enable a distributed execution of signature functionalities and will play a crucial role in the security of emerging decentralized next-generation networked systems and applications. In this paper, we provide a…
The classical distributed key generation protocols (DKG) are resurging due to their widespread applications in blockchain. While efforts have been made to improve DKG communication, practical large-scale deployments are still yet to come…
Recently, permissioned blockchain has been extensively explored in various fields, such as asset management, supply chain, healthcare, and many others. Many scholars are dedicated to improving its verifiability, scalability, and performance…
In large scale distributed storage systems (DSS) deployed in cloud computing, correlated failures resulting in simultaneous failure (or, unavailability) of blocks of nodes are common. In such scenarios, the stored data or a content of a…
We consider the problem of multiple-node repair in distributed storage systems under the cooperative model, where the repair bandwidth includes the amount of data exchanged between any two different storage nodes. Recently, explicit…
Moving target defenses (MTD) are proactive security techniques that enhance network security by confusing the attacker and limiting their attack window. MTDs have been shown to have significant benefits when evaluated against traditional…
In distributed storage systems, erasure codes with locality $r$ is preferred because a coordinate can be recovered by accessing at most $r$ other coordinates which in turn greatly reduces the disk I/O complexity for small $r$. However, the…
Classical calibration methods in hydrology typically rely on a single cost function computed on long-term streamflow series. Even when hydrological models achieve acceptable scores in NSE and KGE, imbalances can still arise between overall…
Detecting change points sequentially in a streaming setting, especially when both the mean and the variance of the signal can change, is often a challenging task. A key difficulty in this context often involves setting an appropriate…
Neural machine translation (NMT) systems have been shown to give undesirable translation when a small change is made in the source sentence. In this paper, we study the behaviour of NMT systems when multiple changes are made to the source…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in processing both natural and programming languages, which have enabled various applications in software engineering, such as requirement engineering, code generation, and…
Conformal Test Martingales (CTMs) are a standard method within the Conformal Prediction framework for testing the crucial assumption of data exchangeability by monitoring deviations from uniformity in the p-value sequence. Although…
Online-safety regulation under the UK Online Safety Act and the EU Digital Services Act increasingly treats scalar metrics as compliance evidence. Once announced, such a metric also becomes an optimization target: a strategic platform can…
Quantum digital signatures (QDS), based on the principles of quantum mechanics, provide information-theoretic security, ensuring the integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation of data transmission. With present QDS protocols,…
This paper introduces an advanced approach for fortifying Federated Learning (FL) systems against label-flipping attacks. We propose a simplified consensus-based verification process integrated with an adaptive thresholding mechanism. This…
