KeyDroid: A Large-Scale Analysis of Secure Key Storage in Android Apps
Most contemporary mobile devices offer hardware-backed storage for cryptographic keys, user data, and other sensitive credentials. Such hardware protects credentials from extraction by an adversary who has compromised the main operating system, such as a malicious third-party app. Since 2011, Android app developers can access trusted hardware via the Android Keystore API. In this work, we conduct the first comprehensive survey of hardware-backed key storage in Android devices. We analyze 490 11…

Is Noisy Data a Blessing in Disguise? A Distributionally Robust Optimization Perspective
Noisy data are often viewed as a challenge for decision-making. This paper studies a distributionally robust optimization (DRO) that shows how such noise can be systematically incorporated. Rather than applying DRO to the noisy empirical distribution, we construct ambiguity sets over the \emph{latent} distribution by centering a Wasserstein ball at the noisy empirical distribution in the observation space and taking its inverse image through a known noise kernel. We validate this inverse-image …

A blessing or a burden? Exploring worker perspectives of using a social robot in a church
Recent technological advances have allowed robots to assist in the service sector, and consequently accelerate job and sector transformation. Less attention has been paid to the use of robots in real-world organisations where social benefits, as opposed to profits, are the primary motivator. To explore these opportunities, we have partnered with a working church and visitor attraction. We conducted interviews with 15 participants from a range of stakeholder groups within the church to understan…

Sonnet 082 - LXXXII
I grant thou wert not married to my Muse,
And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook
The dedicated words which writers use
Of their fair subject, blessing every book.
Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue,
Finding thy worth a limit past my praise;
And therefore art enforced to seek anew
Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days.
And do so, love; yet when they have devis'd,
What strained touches rh…

Hey! We just came back from a nice afterwork cycling.
Currently we do an hour of easy cycling every day.
Especially after work it really a blessing.
As I'm STILL behind with the recent trips I just browsed the archives for some beautiful memories of a hike last year.
This trail doesn't offer epic vistas but the trail itself is just a gem.

last year i was blessed to read the #murderbot series by Martha Wells. last week i had the pleasure to watch the series based on the 1st book. if you want to read something cool go buy the #books, and as an appetizer go and watch the tv series. both have my blessing of approval.

Demographics-Informed Neural Network for Multi-Modal Spatiotemporal forecasting of Urban Growth and Travel Patterns Using Satellite Imagery
This study presents a novel demographics informed deep learning framework designed to forecast urban spatial transformations by jointly modeling geographic satellite imagery, socio-demographics, and travel behavior dynamics. The proposed model employs an encoder-decoder architecture with temporal gated residual connections, integrating satellite imagery and demographic data to accurately forecast future spatial transformations. The study also introduces a demographics prediction component which…
