SmartCoder-R1: Towards Secure and Explainable Smart Contract Generation with Security-Aware Group Relative Policy Optimization
Smart contracts automate the management of high-value assets, where vulnerabilities can lead to catastrophic financial losses. This challenge is amplified in Large Language Models (LLMs) by two interconnected failures: they operate as unauditable "black boxes" lacking a transparent reasoning process, and consequently, generate code riddled with critical security vulnerabilities. To address both issues, we propose SmartCoder-R1 (based on Qwen2.5-Coder-7B), a novel framework for secure and explai…

We propose the notion of succinct oblivious tensor evaluation (OTE), where two parties compute an additive secret sharing of a tensor product of two vectors $\mathbf{x} \otimes \mathbf{y}$, exchanging two simultaneous messages. Crucially, the size of both messages and of the CRS is independent of the dimension of $\mathbf{x}$. We present a construction of OTE with optimal complexity from the standard learning with errors (LWE) problem. Then we show how this new technical tool enables a host o…

Despite rapid advances in QKD, conventional protocols still employ beam splitters (BSs) for passive random basis selection.

Aspect-Oriented Programming in Secure Software Development: A Case Study of Security Aspects in Web Applications
Security remains a critical challenge in modern web applications, where threats such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and injection attacks continue to undermine trust and reliability. Traditional Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) often intertwines security logic with business functionality, leading to code tangling, scattering, and reduced maintainability. This study investigates the role of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) in enhancing secure software development by modularizing cross-…

ENSI: Efficient Non-Interactive Secure Inference for Large Language Models
Secure inference enables privacy-preserving machine learning by leveraging cryptographic protocols that support computations on sensitive user data without exposing it. However, integrating cryptographic protocols with large language models (LLMs) presents significant challenges, as the inherent complexity of these protocols, together with LLMs' massive parameter scale and sophisticated architectures, severely limits practical usability. In this work, we propose ENSI, a novel non-interactive se…

Design and analysis of a set of discrete variable protocols for secure quantum communication
The advent of quantum key distribution (QKD) has revolutionized secure communication by providing unconditional security, unlike classical cryptographic methods. However, its effectiveness relies on robust identity authentication, as vulnerabilities in the authentication process can cause a compromise with the security of the entire communication system. Over the past three decades, numerous quantum identity authentication (QIA) protocols have been proposed. This thesis first presents a chronol…

Empirical Evaluation of Memory-Erasure Protocols
Software-based memory-erasure protocols are two-party communication protocols where a verifier instructs a computational device to erase its memory and send a proof of erasure. They aim at guaranteeing that low-cost IoT devices are free of malware by putting them back into a safe state without requiring secure hardware or physical manipulation of the device. Several software-based memory-erasure protocols have been introduced and theoretically analysed. Yet, many of them have not been tested fo…

Secure and practical Quantum Digital Signatures
Digital signatures represent a crucial cryptographic asset that must be protected against quantum adversaries. Quantum Digital Signatures (QDS) can offer solutions that are information-theoretically (IT) secure and thus immune to quantum attacks. In this work, we analyze three existing practical QDS protocols based on preshared secure keys (e.g., established with quantum key distribution) and universal hashing families. For each protocol, we make amendments to close potential loopholes and prov…
