A lot of journalistic pieces contain too little information. But here's one that is chock full of interesting stuff, not details, but hooks for deeper inquiry. That stuff goes far beyond the topics in the headline. For instance I had never previously considered subway cars as a potential form of spyware.
"After F-35 “Kill Switch”, Now Europe Perturbed By Chinese “Kill Switch” That Could Cripple Its Transport Infra'

After F-35 “Kill Switch”, Now Europe Perturbed By Chinese “Kill Switch” That Could Cripple Its Transport Infra
The debate about a “kill switch” in Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets was hardly over when a new worry is pestering Europe. Do Chinese electric buses plying across multiple cities in Europe come with a similar “kill switch” that allows Beijing to deactivate them remotely? In the last month, multiple European countries, […]

Towards Robust Defense against Customization via Protective Perturbation Resistant to Diffusion-based Purification
Diffusion models like Stable Diffusion have become prominent in visual synthesis tasks due to their powerful customization capabilities, which also introduce significant security risks, including deepfakes and copyright infringement. In response, a class of methods known as protective perturbation emerged, which mitigates image misuse by injecting imperceptible adversarial noise. However, purification can remove protective perturbations, thereby exposing images again to the risk of malicious fo…

Dynamical Perturbing and $C^*$-algebra Lifting Problems
We initiate a study of a new kind of topological-dynamical stability by investigating when permutations of finite sets within a metric space which are close to being actions by a group can be perturbed to genuine actions. We show these perturbing problems can have solutions in the case of dynamics on the Cantor set, and develop a theoretical framework for potentially producing examples of other perturbing problems with no solution. We also investigate connections with semiprojectivity of $C^*$-…
