Homomorphic Advantage Operator: Stabilizing Reinforcement Learning under Fully Homomorphic Encryption Constraints

Privacy-preserving machine learning presents significant deployment challenges on the cloud for intelligent systems with confidential data. Fully Homomorphic Encryption FHE offers a compelling solution for secure computation, preserving data confidentiality of cloud computations. However, applyin...

Verifiable Quantum Advantage Based on Polynomials with Planted Structures

A central question in the theory of quantum advantage is whether there are quantum advantage protocols with similar resource requirements as random circuit sampling that are also verifiable just from the classical outputs of the quantum computation. Here, we develop the idea of simulation secrets...

Quantum Leakage Resilience of Shamir Secret Sharing

We initiate the study of quantum leakage resilience of unmodified Shamir secret sharing over prime fields. A well-studied leakage model for Shamir's secret sharing classically is single-bit local leakage from each share. We consider its quantum analogue where, for each party, a local leakage...

Communication Security Via Temporal Dependency

Communication security has traditionally been built upon one of two external resources: shared secret keys or a communication advantage over the eavesdropper. However, many practical wireless scenarios, including infrastructure-less, emergency, and highly dynamic networks, cannot guarantee either...

EXE-Bench: Ranking the Tradeoffs of AI-Based Windows Malware Detectors for Real-World Usability

Due to the lack of systematic evaluations, we are not yet able to determine which AI-based Windows malware detector to deploy in production, since existing evaluations i differ in terms of data used for both training and testing; ii do not consider temporal analysis to showcase whether models...
