Detecting Privilege Escalation with Temporal Braid Groups
Christophe Parisel
Within the Strongly Connected Components (SCCs) formed during the temporal evolution of a Cloud permission graph, we use the Burau Lyapunov exponent LE as an algebraic probe to loc…

Christophe Parisel
While the Voynich Manuscript was almost certainly written left-to-right (LTR), the question whether the underlying script or cipher reads LTR or right-to-left (RTL) has received li…
Quantifying Azure RBAC Wildcard Overreach

While data perimeter is ubiquitous in cybersecurity speak, it rarely defines how boundary points are arranged. In this paper we show how Azure s blast radius ultrametric provides t…
Scoring Azure permissions with metric spaces
