Numerical Security Analysis for Practical Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution QKD promises information-theoretic security based on quantum mechanics and idealized device models. Practical implementations, however, deviate from these models due to unavoidable device imperfections, and existing security proofs fall short of capturing the complexity o...

Security of Decoy-State Quantum Key Distribution with Correlated Bit-And-Basis Encoders

Practical quantum key distribution QKD modulators inevitably introduce correlations, causing the state emitted in a given round to depend on the setting choices made in previous rounds. These correlations break the round-by-round independence structure on which many widely used security proof...

Can You Keep a Secret? Involuntary Information Leakage in Language Model Writing

Language models are deployed in settings that require compartmentalization: system prompts should not be disclosed, chain-of-thought reasoning is hidden from users, and sensitive data passes through shared contexts. We test whether models can keep prompted information out of their writing. We giv...

Quantum Bit Error Rate Analysis in BB84 Quantum Key Distribution: Measurement, Statistical Estimation, and Eavesdropping Detection

Quantum Key Distribution QKD provides information-theoretic security by exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics. Among QKD protocols, the BB84 scheme remains the most widely adopted for both theoretical research and practical implementation. A critical parameter determining the reliability...

Multi-Stage Phishing Campaign Targets Russia with Amnesia RAT and Ransomware

A new multi-stage phishing campaign has been observed targeting users in Russia with ransomware and a remote access trojan called Amnesia RAT. "The attack begins with social engineering lures delivered via business-themed documents crafted to appear routine and benign," Fortinet FortiGuard Labs...

Security without Detection: Economic Denial As a Primitive for Edge and IoT Defense

Detection-based security fails against sophisticated attackers using encryption, stealth, and low-rate techniques, particularly in IoT/edge environments where resource constraints preclude ML-based intrusion detection. We present Economic Denial Security EDS, a detection-independent framework tha...

Finite-Key Security Analysis of the Decoy-State BB84 QKD with Passive Measurement

The decoy-state Bennett-Brassard 1984 BB84 quantum key distribution QKD protocol is widely regarded as the de facto standard for practical implementations. On the receiver side, passive basis choice is attractive because it significantly reduces the need for random number generators and eliminate...

Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution: Protocols, Security, and Open Problems

Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution TF-QKD has emerged as a potential protocol for long distance secure communication, overcoming the rate-distance limitations of conventional quantum key distribution without requiring trusted repeaters. By having two parties transmit phase encoded weak coherent...

New Rust-Based Malware "ChaosBot" Uses Discord Channels to Control Victims' PCs

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new Rust-based backdoor called ChaosBot that can allow operators to conduct reconnaissance and execute arbitrary commands on compromised hosts. "Threat actors leveraged compromised credentials that mapped to both Cisco VPN and an over-privileg...

BatShadow Group Uses New Go-Based 'Vampire Bot' Malware to Hunt Job Seekers

A Vietnamese threat actor named BatShadow has been attributed to a new campaign that leverages social engineering tactics to deceive job seekers and digital marketing professionals to deliver a previously undocumented malware called Vampire Bot. "The attackers pose as recruiters, distributing...
