The paper introduces ACE, a novel voting protocol that achieves end-to-end verifiability and strong voter privacy by combining tally-hiding aggregation with an Audit-or-Cast challenge, eliminating the…

The paper proposes a non-cryptographic, End-to-End Verifiable (E2E-V) voting scheme that achieves Software-Free Verification (SFV) by allowing voters to audit election integrity using only basic arith…

The paper demonstrates that the Brazilian e-Voting Machine interface generates a simple and highly distinctive electromagnetic spectral signature, raising significant concerns about its susceptibility…

The paper proves that any voting rule based solely on wallet balance, including anti-plutocratic mechanisms like Quadratic Voting, is fundamentally vulnerable to Sybil attacks on permissionless blockc…

The paper introduces VIPER, a novel backdoor attack framework that exploits the functional fusion of malicious and benign logic within dynamic prompt architectures, demonstrating a new, high-risk thre…

This paper analyzes RPKI specifications, demonstrating that vague or conflicting requirements in dozens of RFCs cause systemic vulnerabilities in real-world implementations, leading to 61 undocumented…

This survey reviews hardware-rooted trust mechanisms, such as PUFs and TPMs, demonstrating that hardware-based solutions are superior to software-only methods for ensuring secure authentication and AI…

The paper introduces Search-Bound Proximity Proofs (SBPP) to close an authorization provenance gap in encrypted geographic search by binding zero-knowledge proofs to specific search sessions for audit…

This paper provides a comprehensive, system-level taxonomy for designing quantum-resistant network architectures, moving beyond simple protocol substitutions to address key distribution and management…

The paper proposes and proves the security of a generic, full end-to-end credential revocation system for European Digital Identity Wallets, relying on a single server and secure channels.

The paper demonstrates that autonomous web agents are highly susceptible to social-engineering attacks, leaking critical PII even when they internally flag a site as suspicious, necessitating output-l…

The paper demonstrates that autonomous web agents are highly susceptible to social-engineering attacks, leaking critical PII even when they internally flag a site as suspicious, necessitating output-l…

The paper demonstrates that token rankings provide a unique, unforgeable signature for language models, and proposes an API restriction that allows for signature presentation without leaking model par…

This paper constructs and proves the security of 3-pass Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) protocols for both KA-based and KEM-based primitives within the commitment-based model, improving upon previous…

The paper proposes a secure, verifiable, and privacy-preserving e-collecting protocol tailored for the Swiss political system, guaranteeing participation privacy even without assuming an anonymous com…

The paper introduces MAGIQ, a novel, quantum-resistant framework designed to securely define and enforce communication and access-control policies within multi-agent AI systems.

MEV-ACE introduces a fair ordering protocol that mitigates proposer-controlled MEV by combining authenticated economic identities, auditable commit/open messages, and verifiable delay randomness to en…

The paper introduces Heartbeat-Bound Hierarchical Credentials (HBHC), a cryptographic protocol that revokes AI agent credentials locally and deterministically when the parent agent loses liveness, sig…

The paper proposes COD-ssi, a novel framework that achieves mutual privacy in Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) credential exchanges, ensuring that neither the Holder nor the Verifier can learn unnecessar…

The paper introduces AgentSecBench, a security evaluation framework that measures prompt injection, privacy leakage, and tool-use integrity in LLM agents by defining formal security games and testing…
