The paper proves that platform-deterministic inference is a necessary and sufficient condition for trustworthy AI, establishing that AI trust fundamentally relies on consistent arithmetic.

The paper introduces Ark, a novel Bitcoin-compatible commit-chain that enables offchain transaction batching of virtual UTXOs (VTXOs) with a constant onchain footprint, solving scalability issues with…

The paper introduces a certified purity architecture that strengthens governance in cognitive workflow systems by replacing insufficient runtime checks with cryptographically attested structural guara…

LiteAtt introduces a verifier-less, Peer-to-Peer Self-Attestation (P2P-SA) framework for modern IoT MCUs, enabling mutual authentication and firmware attestation directly within the connection handsha…

The paper proposes a trustless framework using dual-layer cryptographic commitments to solve the operator-gating problem in blockchain provenance trees, ensuring verifiable user attribution even when…

The paper provides a mechanized proof in Isabelle/HOL guaranteeing both the safety (state preservation) and liveness (progress) of regulatory state transitions across multiple, heterogeneous blockchai…

The paper proposes a novel method using random walks and equitable partitions to derive an inequality for the total variation distance of codes, generalizing existing bounds for finite abelian groups.

The paper provides the first machine-checked, tridirectional correctness proof of the OpenZeppelin reentrancy-guard pattern against complex, production-deployed Solidity smart contract source.

This paper presents SCP, a cache partitioning design that combines strict eviction isolation with write-shared coherence to mitigate eviction-based cache side channels.

QCIVET introduces a novel contract-based framework to ensure the integrity of hybrid quantum-classical pipelines by verifying both the structure (syntactic) and the behavior (semantic) of quantum stag…

This paper analyzes Bitcoin's new V2 P2P transport protocol, demonstrating that while it fixes known vulnerabilities, attackers can still execute conceptual attacks like message identification via pay…

ORCHID introduces a novel, bio-inspired consensus protocol that uses quantum-noisy phase oscillators and a binding threshold derived from neuroscience to achieve scalable, high-fidelity consensus in d…

The paper analyzes transaction selection strategies in DAG-based distributed ledgers using game theory, finding that Collaborative Fee Sharing (CFS) achieves superior performance compared to Random Fe…

This paper provides the first unified, security-focused survey that rigorously maps Layer-2 (L2) blockchain architecture to its underlying cryptographic security assumptions.

The paper proposes Proof of Useful Attestation (PoUA), a consensus mechanism that weights validator vote power not just by staked capital, but also by a reputation score earned through performing vali…

The paper analyzes transaction fee mechanisms in modern blockchains that use parallel execution and contingency, proving an inherent trade-off between minimizing risks for users and maximizing revenue…

The paper proposes a hash-based commit-reveal alternative to minimize the infrastructural overhead associated with adopting large post-quantum signature schemes in blockchain transactions.

This paper advances the lightweight blockchain verification protocol, FlyClient, by addressing technical challenges, introducing a new adversary model, and providing practical implementations and opti…

This techreport evaluates a Tor-based protocol, Tor push, demonstrating that it can significantly enhance the location privacy of Ethereum validators by unlinking their identities from their IP addres…
