Abstract: The evolution of 6G networks necessitates robust authentication and key agreement (AKA) protocols to counter emerging security challenges, particularly the threat posed by quantum computing.

Secure communication is essential in modern embedded systems, particularly in distributed and IoT applications. This article presents a practical implementation of encrypted message exchange between ...

Some books are mathematically rigorous (e.g. Foundations of Cryptography, Modern Cryptography, Probabilistic Proofs and Pseudorandomness), others more applied (e.g. Applied Cryptography, Serious ...

In this post, we describe FrodoKEM, a key encapsulation protocol that offers a simple design and provides strong security guarantees even in a future with powerful quantum computers. For decades, ...

In modern edge scenarios, the security of sensor networks plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safe communication of IoT data. Therefore, deploying encryption algorithms among edge devices is of ...

With the advent and development of quantum computers, various quantum algorithms that can solve linear equations and eigenvalues faster than classical computers have been developed. In particular, a ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

This is a very simple (and NOT a highly optimized and secure) implementation of AES only written to teach you the BASICS of this algorithm. I used a tutorial previously available on progressive-coding ...

The major challenge in elastic optical networks is to determine the path of a connection and to allocate spectral resources on the links of this path. This problem consists of two sub-problems, ...

As the world moves towards industrialization, optimization problems become more challenging to solve in a reasonable time. More than 500 new metaheuristic algorithms (MAs) have been developed to date, ...

Clustering is usually the first exploratory analysis step in empirical data. When the data set comprises graphs, the most common approaches focus on clustering its vertices. In this work, we are ...
