We examine the issue of password length leakage via encrypted traffic i.e., bicycle attacks. We aim to quantify both the prevalence of password length leakage bugs as well as the potential harm to users. In an observational study, we find…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely deployed in diverse real-world settings, yet remain vulnerable to jailbreaking, where prompt-based attacks bypass safety filters. We present THREAT (Targeted Harmful generation via Reframing and…

We study the computational complexity of the Word Problem (WP) in free solvable groups $S_{r,d}$, where $r \geq 2$ is the rank and $d \geq 2$ is the solvability class of the group. It is known that the Magnus embedding of $S_{r,d}$ into…

We give a new method to compute the centralizer of an element in Artin braid groups and, more generally, in Garside groups. This method, together with the solution of the conugacy problem given by the authors in a previous paper, are two…

In 1991 the first public key protocol involving automaton groups has been proposed. In this paper we give a survey about algorithmic problems around automaton groups which may have potential applications in cryptography. We then present a…

Despite large-scale pre-trained language models have achieved striking results for text classificaion, recent work has raised concerns about the challenge of shortcut learning. In general, a keyword is regarded as a shortcut if it creates a…

We analyze the security and reliability of a recently proposed class of public-key cryptosystems against attacks by unauthorized parties who have acquired partial knowledge of one or more of the private key components and/or of the…

We give a solution to the word problem for the singular braid monoid SB_n. The complexity of the algorithm is quadratic in the product of the word length and the number of the singular generators in the word. Furthermore we algebraically…

Chosen-ciphertext security, which guarantees confidentiality of encrypted messages even in the presence of a decryption oracle, has become the defacto notion of security for public-key encryption under active attack. In this manuscript, for…

Subset-sum problems belong to the NP class and play an important role in both complexity theory and knapsack-based cryptosystems, which have been proved in the literature to become hardest when the so-called density approaches one. Lattice…

Existing hard-label text attacks often rely on inefficient "outside-in" strategies that traverse vast search spaces. We propose PivotAttack, a query-efficient "inside-out" framework. It employs a Multi-Armed Bandit algorithm to identify…

We present a new algorithm to solve the conjugacy problem in Artin braid groups, which is faster than the one presented by Birman, Ko and Lee. This algorithm can be applied not only to braid groups, but to all Garside groups (which include…

Over the past decade, there has been extensive research aimed at enhancing the robustness of neural networks, yet this problem remains vastly unsolved. Here, one major impediment has been the overestimation of the robustness of new defense…

Lattice based encryption schemes and linear code based encryption schemes have received extensive attention in recent years since they have been considered as post-quantum candidate encryption schemes. Though LLL reduction algorithm has…

Given a cryptographic group action, we show that the Group Action Inverse Problem (GAIP) and other related problems cannot be NP-hard unless the Polynomial Hierarchy collapses. We show this via random self-reductions and the design of…

Any positive word comprised of random sequence of tokens form a finite alphabet can be reduced (without change of length) using an appropriate size Braid group relationships. Surprisingly the Braid relations dramatically reduce the…

Even though passwords are the most convenient means of authentication, they bring along themselves the threat of dictionary attacks. Dictionary attacks may be of two kinds: online and offline. While offline dictionary attacks are possible…

With the development of incipient technologies, user devices becoming more exposed and ill-used by foes. In upcoming decades, traditional security measures will not be sufficient enough to handle this huge threat towards distributed…

The use of third-party datasets and pre-trained machine learning models poses a threat to NLP systems due to possibility of hidden backdoor attacks. Existing attacks involve poisoning the data samples such as insertion of tokens or sentence…

In this paper we study complexity of randomly generated instances of Dehn search problems in finitely presented groups. We use Crump-Mode-Jagers processes to show that most of the random instances are easy. Our analysis shows that for any…
