Secure and Efficient Cryptographic Algorithms in a Quantum World

Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan

Since the advent of internet and mass communication, two public-key cryptographic algorithms have shared the monopoly of data encryption and authentication: Diffie-Hellman and RSA. However, in the last few years, progress made in quantum physics -- and mo ...

When Your AI Becomes a Target: AI Security Incidents and Best Practices

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Kathrin Grosse

In contrast to vast academic efforts to study AI security, few real-world reports of AI security incidents exist. Released incidents prevent a thorough investigation of the attackers' motives, as crucial information about the company and AI application is ...

Differentially private multi-agent constraint optimization

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Sankarshan Damle

Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a framework in which multiple agents with private constraints (or preferences) cooperate to achieve a common goal optimally. DCOPs are applicable in several multi-agent coordination/allocation problems, such as ...

An Ultra-High Throughput AES-Based Authenticated Encryption Scheme for 6G: Design and Implementation

Andrea Felice Caforio, Subhadeep Banik

In this paper, we propose Rocca-S, an authenticated encryption scheme with a 256-bit key and a 256-bit tag targeting 6G applications bootstrapped from AES. Rocca-S achieves an encryption/decryption speed of more than 200 Gbps in the latest software environ ...

Performing and Detecting Backdoor Attacks on Face Recognition Algorithms

Alexander Carl Unnervik

The field of biometrics, and especially face recognition, has seen a wide-spread adoption the last few years, from access control on personal devices such as phones and laptops, to automated border controls such as in airports. The stakes are increasingly ...

The Privacy Power of Correlated Noise in Decentralized Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, Martin Jaggi, Anastasiia Koloskova, Youssef Allouah, Aymane El Firdoussi

Decentralized learning is appealing as it enables the scalable usage of large amounts of distributed data and resources (without resorting to any central entity), while promoting privacy since every user minimizes the direct exposure of their data. Yet, wi ...

COMMUNICATION LOWER BOUNDS AND OPTIMAL ALGORITHMS FOR MULTIPLE TENSOR-TIMES-MATRIX COMPUTATION

Laura Grigori

Multiple tensor-times-matrix (Multi-TTM) is a key computation in algorithms for computing and operating with the Tucker tensor decomposition, which is frequently used in multidimensional data analysis. We establish communication lower bounds that determine ...

PRO-Face C: Privacy-Preserving Recognition of Obfuscated Face via Feature Compensation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Lin Yuan, Xiao Pu, Hongbo Li, Yao Zhang

The advancement of face recognition technology has delivered substantial societal advantages. However, it has also raised global privacy concerns due to the ubiquitous collection and potential misuse of individuals' facial data. This presents a notable par ...

A Privacy-Preserving Querying Mechanism with High Utility for Electric Vehicles

Sayan Biswas

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular due to environmental consciousness. The limited availability of charging stations (CSs), compared to the number of EVs on the road, has led to increased range anxiety and a higher frequency of CS queries du ...

Public-Key Encryption with Quantum Keys

Khashayar Barooti

In the framework of Impagliazzo's five worlds, a distinction is often made between two worlds, one where public-key encryption exists (Cryptomania), and one in which only one-way functions exist (MiniCrypt). However, the boundaries between these worlds can ...

Making Classical (Threshold) Signatures Post-quantum for Single Use on a Public Ledger

Serge Vaudenay, Laurane Chloé Angélina Marco, Abdullah Talayhan

The Bitcoin architecture heavily relies on the ECDSA signature scheme which is broken by quantum adversaries as the secret key can be computed from the public key in quantum polynomial time. To mitigate this attack, bitcoins can be paid to the hash of a pu ...

Security in the Presence of Quantum Adversaries

Khashayar Barooti

With the looming threat of large-scale quantum computers, a fair portion of recent cryptographic research has focused on examining cryptographic primitives from the perspective of a quantum adversary. Shor's 1994 result revealed that quantum computers can ...

Bridging the gap between theoretical and practical privacy technologies for at-risk populations

Kasra Edalatnejadkhamene

With the pervasive digitalization of modern life, we benefit from efficient access to information and services. Yet, this digitalization poses severe privacy challenges, especially for special-needs individuals. Beyond being a fundamental human right, priv ...

On the (Im)possibility of Commitment over Gaussian Unfair Noisy Channels

Commitment is a key primitive which resides at the heart of several cryptographic protocols. Noisy channels can help realize information-theoretically secure commitment schemes; however, their imprecise statistical characterization can severely impair such ...

Authenticated private information retrieval

Simone Maria Stefano Colombo, Kirill Nikitin, Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

This paper introduces protocols for authenticated private information retrieval. These schemes enable a client to fetch a record from a remote database server such that (a) the server does not learn which record the client reads, and (b) the client either ...

Electromagnetic Forces and Torques: From Dielectrophoresis to Optical Tweezers

Olivier Martin, Marco Riccardi

Electromagnetic forces and torques enable many key technologies, including optical tweezers or dielectrophoresis. Interestingly, both techniques rely on the same physical process: the interaction of an oscillating electric field with a particle of matter. ...
