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 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…

SILMARILS presents a quantum-secure, information-theoretic designated-verifier (DV) signature scheme built on a minimal algebraic core, suitable for lightweight blockchain authentication.

The paper proposes bPk#, a distributed architecture for pseudonyms that enhances privacy and availability in national eID systems by delegating pseudonym computation rights to users and service provid…

This paper analyzes the Loki e-voting protocol, demonstrating that while it attempts to solve coercion-resistance without pre-agreed secrets, it remains vulnerable to specific attacks, suggesting that…

Intercloud proposes a decentralized economic network that achieves eventual consistency and security using a novel 'chilling-effect consensus' mechanism, eliminating the need for global coordination.

The paper introduces PolyVeil, a protocol for private Boolean summation that uses permutation matrices in the Birkhoff polytope, achieving strong security guarantees while highlighting a fundamental t…

This paper establishes a complexity hierarchy for shuffle operations used in card-based cryptography, classifying them by implementation difficulty and proving separations between these levels.

The paper introduces Appraisal, a novel Screening-then-Linkage framework (PPRS) that significantly improves the scalability and efficiency of Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage by incorporating a light…

The paper introduces the Unicity Execution Layer, a secure, modular component that enables trustless off-chain transactions while guaranteeing double-spending prevention and enhancing user privacy.

The paper addresses the vulnerability of zero-knowledge proximity proofs in stateful systems by proposing Zairn-ZKP, a method that embeds operational context (like drop identity and policy version) di…

The paper introduces the Human Delegation Provenance (HDP) protocol, a lightweight, token-based cryptographic scheme designed to verify the full, multi-hop chain of human authorization for actions exe…

The paper presents a complete, moderatorless protocol for playing Werewolf using only ordinary playing cards, eliminating the need for a trusted third party or digital devices.

zkSBOM introduces a zero-knowledge mechanism for sharing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) that allows consumers to check for vulnerabilities without suppliers revealing the full, sensitive contents…

The paper introduces DARTIC, a decentralized, anonymous, and scalable reputation framework that allows on-chain crowdsourcing to maintain accountability and trust while preserving user privacy.

The paper develops a comprehensive, GDPR-aligned item bank of 527 statements to accurately measure user preferences regarding specific regulatory protections, addressing a gap left by older privacy me…

VeriX-Anon is a multi-layered framework that provides mathematically verifiable assurance that outsourced data anonymization (k-anonymization) was executed correctly, achieving high detection rates ag…

The paper addresses the over-reliance on GDPR in digital privacy research by systematically normalizing heterogeneous global data protection laws into a unified, data-lifecycle-aligned abstraction.

The paper proposes a new cryptographic bearer token design enabling fully offline e-cash withdrawals from ATMs, thereby removing the central bank as a critical dependency.

The paper introduces Deanonymizable Scoped Linkable Ring Signatures (DSLRS), a novel scheme that integrates scoped linkability and decentralized accountability into a single signature structure for pr…
