PoS-CoPOR: Proof-of-Stake Consensus Protocol with Native Onion Routing Providing Scalability and DoS-Resistance
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus protocols often face a trade-off between performance and security. Protocols that pre-elect leaders for subsequent rounds are vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, which can disrupt the network and compromise liveness. In this work, we present PoS-CoPOR, a single-chain PoS consensus protocol that mitigates this vulnerability by integrating a native onion routing mechanism into the consensus protocol itself. PoS-CoPOR combines stake-weighted probabilistic …

DH-EAC: Design of a Dynamic, Hierarchical Entanglement Access Control Protocol
We propose Dynamic, Hierarchical Entanglement Access Control (DH-EAC), a pure-quantum protocol for fair and anonymous allocation of scarce entanglement across wide-area quantum networks composed of many quantum LANs (QLANs). Prior Dicke-state-based pure-quantum MACs resolve contention by local measurements without classical signaling, but they mainly target a single QLAN under static conditions; extending them to wide-area, dynamic settings while avoiding post-selection reconciliation remains o…

Assessment Twins: A Protocol for AI-Vulnerable Summative Assessment
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education and raising pressing concerns about the integrity and validity of higher education assessment. While assessment redesign is increasingly seen as a necessity, there is a relative lack of literature detailing what such redesign may entail. In this paper, we introduce assessment twins as an accessible approach for redesigning assessment tasks to enhance validity. We use Messick's unified validity framework to systematically m…

Characterizing Superconducting Qubits using Averaged Circuit Eigenvalue Sampling
Efficient characterization of noise during quantum gate operations is an essential step to building and scaling up a quantum computer. One such protocol is averaged circuit eigenvalue sampling (ACES) which efficiently characterizes a noisy gate set by reconstructing a Pauli noise model for a each gate. Here we utilize the ACES protocol to characterize two coupled superconducting qubits. For accurate reconstruction, we tailor the noise via Pauli twirling and account for measurement errors. We ve…

A Subquadratic Two-Party Communication Protocol for Minimum Cost Flow
In this paper, we discuss the maximum flow problem in the two-party communication model, where two parties, each holding a subset of edges on a common vertex set, aim to compute the maximum flow of the union graph with minimal communication. We show that this can be solved with $\tilde{O}(n^{1.5})$ bits of communication, improving upon the trivial $\tilde{O}(n^2)$ bound. To achieve this, we derive two additional, more general results: 1.

Second, one needs an _oracle_ to _check outputs_ whether a test case is correct or not. Both problems become apparent in _protocol testing_, where inputs are messages exchanged between parties, and outputs are the responses of these parties.

InfoMosaic-Bench: Evaluating Multi-Source Information Seeking in Tool-Augmented Agents
Information seeking is a fundamental requirement for humans. However, existing LLM agents rely heavily on open-web search, which exposes two fundamental weaknesses: online content is noisy and unreliable, and many real-world tasks require precise, domain-specific knowledge unavailable from the web. The emergence of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) now allows agents to interface with thousands of specialized tools, seemingly resolving this limitation. Yet it remains unclear whether agents can ef…

Combining Error Detection and Mitigation: A Hybrid Protocol for Near-Term Quantum Simulation
Practical implementation of quantum error correction is currently limited by near-term quantum hardware. In contrast, quantum error mitigation has demonstrated strong promise for improving the performance of noisy quantum circuits without the requirement of full fault tolerance. In this work, we develop a hybrid error suppression protocol that integrates Pauli twirling, probabilistic error cancellation, and the $[[n, n-2, 2]]$ quantum error detecting code. In addition, to reduce overhead from e…

Practical Quantum Clock Synchronization Using Weak Coherent Pulses
Establishing and maintaining a common time reference across spatially separated devices is a prerequisite for networked quantum experiments and secure communications. Classical two-way timing protocols such as Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Precision Time Protocol (PTP) are vulnerable to asymmetric channel delays and cannot provide the picosecond-level precision demanded by quantum repeater networks. We propose and numerically evaluate a quantum-enhanced clock synchronization protocol based on …

Calyx: Privacy-Preserving Multi-Token Optimistic-Rollup Protocol
Rollup protocols have recently received significant attention as a promising class of Layer 2 (L2) scalability solutions. By utilizing the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain solely as a bulletin board for a summary of the executed transactions and state changes, rollups enable secure off-chain execution while avoiding the complexity of other L2 mechanisms. However, to ensure data availability, current rollup protocols require the plaintext of executed transactions to be published on-chain, resulting in in…

Security and Privacy Analysis of Tile's Location Tracking Protocol
We conduct the first comprehensive security analysis of Tile, the second most popular crowd-sourced location-tracking service behind Apple's AirTags. We identify several exploitable vulnerabilities and design flaws, disproving many of the platform's claimed security and privacy guarantees: Tile's servers can persistently learn the location of all users and tags, unprivileged adversaries can track users through Bluetooth advertisements emitted by Tile's devices, and Tile's anti-theft mode is eas…

Computational Monogamy of Entanglement and Non-Interactive Quantum Key Distribution
Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables Alice and Bob to exchange a secret key over a public, untrusted quantum channel. Compared to classical key exchange, QKD achieves everlasting security: after the protocol execution the key is secure against adversaries that can do unbounded computations. On the flip side, while classical key exchange can be achieved non-interactively (with two simultaneous messages between Alice and Bob), no non-interactive protocol is known that provides everlasting secur…

Coherence restoring in communication line via controlled interaction with environment
We consider the state-restoring protocol based on the controlled interaction of a linear chain with environment through the specially adjusted step-wise time dependent Lindblad operators. We show that the best restoring result (maximal scale factors in the restored state) corresponds to the symmetrical Lindblad equation. (0,1)-excitation dynamics is considered numerically, and restoring protocol for the 1-order coherence matrix is proposed for the case of the two-qubit sender (receiver). The st…

Automatic Red Teaming LLM-based Agents with Model Context Protocol Tools
The remarkable capability of large language models (LLMs) has led to the wide application of LLM-based agents in various domains. To standardize interactions between LLM-based agents and their environments, model context protocol (MCP) tools have become the de facto standard and are now widely integrated into these agents. However, the incorporation of MCP tools introduces the risk of tool poisoning attacks, which can manipulate the behavior of LLM-based agents. Although previous studies have i…
