Comparative Analysis of Blockchain Systems

Blockchain is a type of decentralized distributed database. Unlike traditional relational database management systems, it does not require management or maintenance by a third party. All data management and update processes are open and transparent, solving the trust issues of centralized databas...

ALSA-2025:7409 Moderate: git security update

Git is a distributed revision control system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized version control systems with a client-server model, Git ensures that each working copy of a Git repository is an exact copy with complete revision history. This not only allows the user to wo...

Source Anonymity for Private Random Walk Decentralized Learning

This paper considers random walk-based decentralized learning, where at each iteration of the learning process, one user updates the model and sends it to a randomly chosen neighbor until a convergence criterion is met. Preserving data privacy is a central concern and open problem in decentralize...

Privacy-Aware Berrut Approximated Coded Computing Applied to General Distributed Learning

Coded computing is one of the techniques that can be used for privacy protection in Federated Learning. However, most of the constructions used for coded computing work only under the assumption that the computations involved are exact, generally restricted to special classes of functions, and...

Exploring the Susceptibility to Fraud of Monetary Incentive Mechanisms for Strengthening FOSS Projects

Free and open source software FOSS is ubiquitous on modern IT systems, accelerating the speed of software engineering over the past decades. With its increasing importance and historical reliance on uncompensated contributions, questions have been raised regarding the continuous maintenance of FO...

A Weighted Byzantine Fault Tolerance Consensus Driven Trusted Multiple Large Language Models Network

Large Language Models LLMs have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of applications. However, individual LLMs often produce inconsistent, biased, or hallucinated outputs due to limitations in their training corpora and model architectures. Recently, collaborative frameworks such as th...

Differential Privacy for Network Assortativity

The analysis of network assortativity is of great importance for understanding the structural characteristics of and dynamics upon networks. Often, network assortativity is quantified using the assortativity coefficient that is defined based on the Pearson correlation coefficient between vertex...

Balancing Security and Liquidity: a Time-Weighted Snapshot Framework for DAO Governance Voting

Privacy for Agentic AI

Sooner or later, it's going to happen. AI systems will start acting as agents, doing things on our behalf with some degree of autonomy. I think it's worth thinking about the security of that now, while its still a nascent idea. In 2019, I joined Inrupt, a company that is commercializing Tim...

Decentralized Vulnerability Disclosure Via Permissioned Blockchain: a Secure, Transparent Alternative to Centralized CVE Management

This paper proposes a decentralized, blockchain-based system for the publication of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVEs, aiming to mitigate the limitations of the current centralized model primarily overseen by MITRE. The proposed architecture leverages a permissioned blockchain, wherein on...

RevealNet: Distributed Traffic Correlation for Attack Attribution on Programmable Networks

Network attackers have increasingly resorted to proxy chains, VPNs, and anonymity networks to conceal their activities. To tackle this issue, past research has explored the applicability of traffic correlation techniques to perform attack attribution, i.e., to identify an attacker's true network...
