MST3 Encryption Improvement with Three-Parameter Group of Hermitian Function Field

This scholarly work presents an advanced cryptographic framework utilizing automorphism groups as the foundational structure for encryption scheme implementation. The proposed methodology employs a three-parameter group construction, distinguished by its application of logarithmic signatures...

AESHA3: Efficient and Secure Sub-Key Generation for AES Using SHA-3

Advanced Encryption Standard AES is one of the most widely used symmetric cipher for the confidentiality of data. Also it is used for other security services, viz. integrity, authentication and key establishment. However, recently, authors have shown some weakness in the generation of sub-keys in...

PT-Mark: Invisible Watermarking for Text-To-Image Diffusion Models Via Semantic-Aware Pivotal Tuning

Watermarking for diffusion images has drawn considerable attention due to the widespread use of text-to-image diffusion models and the increasing need for their copyright protection. Recently, advanced watermarking techniques, such as Tree Ring, integrate watermarks by embedding traceable pattern...

[SECURITY] Fedora 42 Update: perl-Devel-Cover-1.44-5.fc42

This module provides code coverage metrics for Perl. Code coverage metrics describe how thoroughly tests exercise code. By using Devel::Cover you can discover areas of code not exercised by your tests and determine which tests to create to increase coverage. Code coverage can be considered as an...

Provable Secure Steganography Based on Adaptive Dynamic Sampling

The security of private communication is increasingly at risk due to widespread surveillance. Steganography, a technique for embedding secret messages within innocuous carriers, enables covert communication over monitored channels. Provably Secure Steganography PSS is state of the art for making...

DEBIAN-CVE-2025-29769

libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. The heifsave operation could incorrectly determine the presence of an alpha channel in an input when it was not possible to determine the colour interpretation, known internally within libvips as "multiband". There aren't...
