Fine-grained CDN Delegation
The use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) has significantly increased over the past decade, with approximately 55 million websites currently relying on CDN services. Emerging solutions, such as Delegated Credentials (RFC 9345), lack fine-grained definitions of many critical aspects of delegation, such as the length of delegation chains, revocation mechanism, permitted operations, and a well-defined scope for said delegation. We present Delegation Certificates (DeCerts), which modify X.509 cer…

ISTB University of Vienna on Instagram: "We are deeply honoured and delighted that the South Asian, Tibetan, and Buddhist Studies Library has been selected as one of the distinguished institutions to receive the eighty-volume commemorative edition of the Tipitaka, published in Thailand in 2016 to mark the seventieth anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol’s accession to the throne. The Thai monarchy has long upheld a well-established tradition of commissioning, presenting, and receiving editions of the Pali Canon. In 1893, King Rama V commissioned the first printed edition of the Tipitaka in Thailand, which was subsequently presented as a gift to institutions in more than twenty-five countries. The 40-volume “King Bhumibol Edition” allows monks and Buddhist laity worldwide to chant the Tipiṭaka in a consistent, rule-based manner. It is accompanied by the 40-volume “Queen Sirikit Edition” which reproduces King Rama V’s use of Syām-Pāli annotation with additional notes. The ISTB library provides an ideal home for this new edition of the Tipitaka. With a collection of more than 70,000 volumes in over ninety Asian languages, it serves as a vital centre for research and teaching in South Asian, Tibetan, and Buddhist Studies at the University of Vienna."

This is a fun story.
Giving the boss the ability to do their own UI design is fraught, of course, a delicate judgement call. But it’s still a fun story.

Multipolar Origin and Active Control of High-Q Quasi-BIC Fano Resonances in Dielectric Metasurfaces for Sensing Applications
We designed an ingenious all-dielectric metasurface, employing cuboid structures patterned with bow-tie-shaped nanoholes, exhibiting multiple Fano resonances induced by quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) through structural asymmetry. Among them, several resonant modes demonstrated high quality factors in the range of 10^3-10^4, along with near-unity modulation depth and strong spectral contrast. The optical responses were analyzed utilizing the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)…

Completing a PhD while coordinating a graduate school is no easy task in itself.

This Saturday, millions of people are going to say no, and insist that every American has a right to dissent.
It’s going to be big
— there will be enormous rallies in major cities, and smaller but still meaningful ones in towns around the country.
There will be families, and dogs, and people in silly costumes.
They’re going to march, and stand together, and listen to speeches, and hold up signs
Trump and his allies will spin their absurd conspiracy theories,…

Ahead of No Kings Protest, Trump and GOP Try to Delegitimize All Dissent
There is no such thing as genuine progressive public opinion, and therefore mass and mobilized opposition to Trump doesn't count.
