SoK: Reconstruction Attacks on Synthetic Tabular Data (Insights from Winning the NIST CRC)

Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic data is increasingly promoted as a privacy-preserving substitute for releasing sensitive tabular records, yet its central adversarial threat ("reconstruction", the recovery of an individual's hidden attribute values from a synthetic release and a handful of known quasi-identifiers) has been studied only in scattered, hard-to-compare settings. We present the first systematization of reconstruction (equivalently, attribute inference) attacks on...

Cross-modal applications of a neuromorphic olfactory learning algorithm

We adapted an olfactory neuromorphic algorithm to image and sound recognition. To achieve this, we carried out specific preprocessing procedures that were tailored to each modality. For images, we used the NIST digits dataset directly.

Post-Quantum Cryptography and Quantum-Safe Security: A Comprehensive Survey

arXiv:2510.10436v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is moving from evaluation to deployment as NIST finalizes standards for ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. This survey maps the space from foundations to practice. We first develop a taxonomy across lattice-, code-, hash-, multivariate-, isogeny-, and MPC-in-the-Head families, summarizing security assumptions, cryptanalysis, and standardization status.

Lowering the Barrier to IREX Participation: Open-Source Algorithms, Toolkit, and Benchmarking for Iris Recognition

arXiv:2605.20735v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: NIST Iris Exchange (IREX) offers an appealing solution to evaluating new open-source iris recognition algorithms, but it presents high barriers to entry because these algorithms must be written in C++, using a specific API, and adapted to meet strict IREX speed and memory constraints. The main goal of this paper is to lower these barriers and advance open-source iris recognition large-scale evaluations by offering: (a) two new modern deep...

Implementation and Optimization of HQC Decoding on NPU-Integrated Devices

arXiv:2606.01968v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hamming Quasi-Cyclic (HQC) has been selected by NIST for standardization as an additional code-based key-encapsulation mechanism, providing algorithmic diversity alongside lattice-based post-quantum cryptography. Efficient deployment of HQC on mobile and embedded platforms, however, requires careful optimization of its decoding procedure, whose Reed-Muller and Reed-Solomon components dominate the computational cost.

A Post-Quantum Future for Let's Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt is committed to a post-quantum-safe Web PKI. The path we’re planning to take is Merkle Tree Certificates (“MTCs”), a new approach that adds post-quantum authentication to the web without sacrificing the speed and reliability that have made TLS universal. This post is about these plans and why we believe MTCs are worth pursuing as a key to a post-quantum future.

Future-Proofing Authentication Against Insecure Bootstrapping for 5G Networks: Feasibility, Resiliency, and Accountability

arXiv:2510.23457v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The 5G protocol lacks a robust base station (BS) authentication mechanism during the initial bootstrapping phase, leaving it susceptible to fake BSs, spoofed broadcasts, and large-scale manipulation of System Information Blocks (SIBs). Existing solutions incur high communication overhead, rely on centralized trust, and lack accountability and long-term breach resiliency. Given the inevitability of BS compromise and the severe impact of...

LLM-FACETS: A Privacy-Preserving Framework for Evaluating LLM Transparency and Accountability

arXiv:2605.31167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Assessing whether Large Language Models outputs are factually grounded, epistemically calibrated, and methodologically reproducible is a prerequisite for responsible AI deployment. Yet auditing LLMs remains inaccessible to non-technical practitioners: existing tools require programming expertise and non-trivial environment setup, and cloud-hosted platforms transmit evaluation data to external services, creating barriers for domain experts and...

Security-First Approach to API Pipeline Development with Zero-Trust Architecture

arXiv:2606.09062v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern enterprises face an accelerating onslaught of API-targeted threats amid a rapidly expanding attack surface. Record volumes of software vulnerabilities continue to accelerate dramatically, with 28,818 CVEs disclosed in 2023 (a 38% jump from 2022) and 40,009 CVEs in 2024 (another 38% increase), while the average time-to-exploit (TTE) of new flaws shrank to mere days (approximately 5 days in 2023, down from 32 days in 2021). At the same...
