Towards a Global Quantum Internet: a Review of Challenges Facing Aerial Quantum Networks

Quantum networks use principles of quantum physics to create secure communication networks. Moving these networks off the ground using drones, balloons, or satellites could help increase the scalability of these networks. This article reviews how such aerial links work, what makes them difficult ...

Quantum Hilbert Transform

The Hilbert transform has been one of the foundational transforms in signal processing, finding it's way into multiple disciplines from cryptography to biomedical sciences. However, there does not exist any quantum analogue for the Hilbert transform. In this work, we introduce a formulation for t...

Issue Overview: In MIFF image processing in ImageMagick before 7.1.1-44, image depth is mishandled after SetQuantumFormat is used. CVE-2025-43965 Affected Packages: ImageMagick Note: This advisory is applicable to Amazon Linux 2 AL2 Core repository. Visit this FAQ section for the difference betwe...

On the Intractability of Chaotic Symbolic Walks: toward a Non-Algebraic Post-Quantum Hardness Assumption

Most classical and post-quantum cryptographic assumptions, including integer factorization, discrete logarithms, and Learning with Errors LWE, rely on algebraic structures such as rings or vector spaces. While mathematically powerful, these structures can be exploited by quantum algorithms or...

Cryptography from Lossy Reductions: Towards OWFs from ETH, and Beyond

One-way functions OWFs form the foundation of modern cryptography, yet their unconditional existence remains a major open question. In this work, we study this question by exploring its relation to lossy reductions, i.e., reductions$R$ for which it holds that $IX;RX \ll n$ for all distributions$X...

Online Voting Using Point to MultiPoint Quantum Key Distribution Via Passive Optical Networks

We propose using Point-to-Multipoint quantum key distribution QKD via time division multiplexing TDM and wavelength division multiplexing WDM in passive optical networks PON to improve the security of online voting systems...

Engineering Trustworthy Machine-Learning Operations with Zero-Knowledge Proofs

As Artificial Intelligence AI systems, particularly those based on machine learning ML, become integral to high-stakes applications, their probabilistic and opaque nature poses significant challenges to traditional verification and validation methods. These challenges are exacerbated in regulated...
