Quantum Spectral Authentication: Entity Authentication and Key Derivation from a Hidden Eigenstate of a Public Unitary Challenge
S. P. Kish, H. J. Vallury, J. Pieprzyk +2
We introduce Quantum Spectral Authentication (QSA), a symmetric-key entity-authentication and key-derivation protocol in which a remote endpoint proves it still holds a hidden plan…
Quantum Key Distribution
Sebastian Kish, Josef Pieprzyk, Seyit Camtepe
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a technology that ensures secure communication by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, such as the no-cloning theorem and quantum uncer…
Active Attack Resilience in 5G: A New Take on Authentication and Key Agreement
Nazatul H. Sultan, Xinlong Guan, Josef Pieprzyk +3
As 5G networks expand into critical infrastructure, secure and efficient user authentication is more important than ever. The 5G-AKA protocol, standardized by 3GPP in TS 33.501, is…
Unlocking the hidden potential of pulsar astronomy
D. Kaur, G. Hobbs, A. Zic +6
Pulsars have traditionally been used for research into fundamental physics and astronomy. In this paper, we investigate the expanding applications of radio pulsars in societal and…
From 5G to 6G: A Survey on Security, Privacy, and Standardization Pathways
Mengmeng Yang, Youyang Qu, Thilina Ranbaduge +12
The vision for 6G aims to enhance network capabilities with faster data rates, near-zero latency, and higher capacity, supporting more connected devices and seamless experiences wi…
