Parallel Repetition for Post-Quantum Arguments

In this work, we show that parallel repetition of public-coin interactive arguments reduces the soundness error at an exponential rate even in the post-quantum setting. Moreover, we generalize this result to hold for threshold verifiers, where the parallel repeated verifier accepts if and only if...

BF-Max: an Efficient Bit Flipping Decoder with Predictable Decoding Failure Rate

The Bit-Flipping BF decoder, thanks to its very low computational complexity, is widely employed in post-quantum cryptographic schemes based on Moderate Density Parity Check codes in which, ultimately, decryption boils down to syndrome decoding. In such a setting, for security concerns, one must...

AI-Based Software Vulnerability Detection: a Systematic Literature Review

Software vulnerabilities in source code pose serious cybersecurity risks, prompting a shift from traditional detection methods e.g., static analysis, rule-based matching to AI-driven approaches. This study presents a systematic review of software vulnerability detection SVD research from 2018 to...

Secure Data Access in Cloud Environments Using Quantum Cryptography

Cloud computing has made storing and accessing data easier but keeping it secure is a big challenge nowadays. Traditional methods of ensuring data may not be strong enough in the future when powerful quantum computers become available. To solve this problem, this study uses quantum cryptography t...

MULTISS: Un Protocole De Stockage Confidentiel {À} Long Terme Sur Plusieurs R{É}Seaux QKD

This paper presents MULTISS, a new protocol for long-term storage distributed across multiple Quantum Key Distribution QKD networks. This protocol is an extension of LINCOS, a secure storage protocol that uses Shamir secret sharing for secret storage on a single QKD network. Our protocol uses...

A Symmetric LWE-Based Multi-Recipient Cryptosystem

This article describes a post-quantum multirecipient symmetric cryptosystem whose security is based on the hardness of the LWE problem. In this scheme a single sender encrypts multiple messages for multiple recipients generating a single ciphertext which is broadcast to the recipients. Each...

See How Much Faster a Quantum Computer Will Crack Encryption

A quantum computer will likely one day be able to break the encryption protecting the world's secrets. See how much faster such a machine could decrypt a password compared to a present-day supercomputer...

Quantum Secure Key Exchange with Position-Based Credentials

Quantum key distribution QKD provides an information-theoretic way of securely exchanging secret keys, and typically relies on pre-shared keys or public keys for message authentication. To lift the requirement of pre-shared or public keys, Buhrman et. al. SIAM J. Comput. 43, 150 2014 proposed...

Spanning-Tree-Packing Protocol for Conference Key Propagation in Quantum Networks

We consider a network of users connected by pairwise quantum key distribution QKD links. Using these pairwise secret keys and public classical communication, the users want to generate a common conference secret key at the maximal rate. We propose an algorithm based on spanning tree packing a kno...

The Hashed Fractal Key Recovery (HFKR) Problem: from Symbolic Path Inversion to Post-Quantum Cryptographic Keys

Classical cryptographic systems rely heavily on structured algebraic problems, such as factorization, discrete logarithms, or lattice-based assumptions, which are increasingly vulnerable to quantum attacks and structural cryptanalysis. In response, this work introduces the Hashed Fractal Key...
