Cryptomite: A versatile and user-friendly library of randomness extractors
We present Cryptomite, a Python library of randomness extractor implementations. The library offers a range of two-source, seeded and deterministic randomness extractors, together with parameter calculation modules, making it easy to use and suitable for a variety of applications. We also present theoretical results, including new extractor constructions and improvements to existing extractor parameters. The extractor implementations are efficient in practice and tolerate input sizes of up to $…

Dismantling Common Internet Services for Ad-Malware Detection
Online advertising represents a main instrument for publishers to fund content on the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, a significant number of online advertisements often accommodates potentially malicious content, such as cryptojacking hidden in web banners - even on reputable websites. In order to protect Internet users from such online threats, the thorough detection of ad-malware campaigns plays a crucial role for a safe Web. Today, common Internet services like VirusTotal can label suspiciou…

ESPM-D: Efficient Sparse Polynomial Multiplication for Dilithium on ARM Cortex-M4 and Apple M2
Dilithium is a lattice-based digital signature scheme standardized by the NIST post-quantum cryptography (PQC) project. In this study, we focus on developing efficient sparse polynomial multiplication implementations of Dilithium for ARM Cortex-M4 and Apple M2, which are both based on the ARM architecture. The ARM Cortex-M4 is commonly utilized in resource-constrained devices such as sensors. Conversely, the Apple M2 is typically found on mobile devices, emphasizing high performance and versati…

Detecting Errors in a Numerical Response via any Regression Model
Noise plagues many numerical datasets, where the recorded values in the data may fail to match the true underlying values due to reasons including: erroneous sensors, data entry/processing mistakes, or imperfect human estimates. We consider general regression settings with covariates and a potentially corrupted response whose observed values may contain errors. By accounting for various uncertainties, we introduced veracity scores that distinguish between genuine errors and natural data fluctua…

Thermodynamic Geometry of Nonequilibrium Fluctuations in Cyclically Driven Transport
Nonequilibrium thermal machines under cyclic driving generally outperform steady-state counterparts. However, there is still lack of coherent understanding of versatile transport and fluctuation features under time modulations. Here, we formulate a theoretical framework of thermodynamic geometry in terms of full counting statistics of nonequilibrium driven transports. We find that, besides the conventional dynamic and adiabatic geometric curvature contributions, the generating function is divid…
