Transmission networks consist of thousands of branches for large-scale real power systems. They are built with a high degree of redundancy for reliability concern. Thus, it is very likely that there exist various network topologies that can…

Tilted (entropic) risk, obtained by applying a log-exponential transform to a base loss, is a well established tool in statistics and machine learning for emphasizing rare or high loss events while retaining a tractable optimization…

As access to high-quality, domain-specific data grows increasingly scarce, multi-epoch training has become a practical strategy for adapting large language models (LLMs). However, autoregressive models often suffer from performance…

Inference-Time Scaling (ITS) improves language models by allocating more computation at generation time. Particle Filtering (PF) has emerged as a strong ITS method for complex mathematical reasoning tasks, but it is vulnerable when guided…

Generating secure random numbers is a central problem in cryptography that needs a reliable source of enough computing entropy. Without enough entropy available - meaning no good source of secure random numbers - a device is susceptible to…

Federated learning (FL) enables distributed clients to collaboratively train a global model using local private data. Nevertheless, recent studies show that conventional FL algorithms still exhibit deficiencies in privacy protection, and…

Quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum message encryption protocols promise a secure way to distribute information while detecting eavesdropping. However, current protocols may suffer from significantly reduced eavesdropping protection…

With the increasing complexity of the traffic environment, the significance of safety perception in intelligent driving is intensifying. Traditional methods in the field of intelligent driving perception rely on deep learning, which suffers…

The foundation models (FMs) have been used to generate synthetic public datasets for the heterogeneous federated learning (HFL) problem where each client uses a unique model architecture. However, the vulnerabilities of integrating FMs,…

With the ever-growing demand for cybersecurity, static key encryption mechanisms are increasingly vulnerable to adversarial attacks due to their deterministic and non-adaptive nature. Brute-force attacks, key compromise, and unauthorized…

Research on optimal eavesdropping models under practical conditions will help to evaluate realistic risk when employing quantum key distribution (QKD) system for secure information transmission. Intuitively, fiber loss will lead to the…

With the emergence of privacy leaks in federated learning, secure aggregation protocols that mainly adopt either homomorphic encryption or threshold secret sharing have been widely developed for federated learning to protect the privacy of…

Autonomous digital entities require deterministic identity mechanisms that avoid persistent storage of high-value master secrets, while supporting credential rotation and cryptographic agility across heterogeneous systems. Existing…

Cross-silo federated learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train a machine learning model without sharing training data, but privacy in FL remains a major challenge. Techniques using homomorphic encryption (HE) have been…

We introduce a cryptographic primitive named threshold trapdoor functions (TTDFs), from which we give generic constructions of threshold and revocation encryptions under adaptive corruption model. Then, we show TTDF can be instantiated…

Key extraction via measuring a physical quantity is a class of information theoretic key exchange protocols that rely on the physical characteristics of the communication channel to enable the computation of a shared key by two (or more)…

Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) enables multiple data owners, each holding a different subset of features about largely overlapping sets of data sample(s), to jointly train a useful global model. Feature selection (FS) is important to…

Early fault detection (EFD) of rotating machines is important to decrease the maintenance cost and improve the mechanical system stability. One of the key points of EFD is developing a generic model to extract robust and discriminative…

In industrial applications, the presence of moving machinery, vehicles, and personnel, contributes to the dynamic nature of the wireless channel. This time variability induces channel fading, which can be effectively modeled using a Markov…

Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) is a powerful and widely used technique for characterizing the scaling properties and long-range correlations of complex time series. However, its application often involves significant…
