Random number generators are of paramount importance in numerous fields. Under certain well-defined adversarial settings, True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) are more secure than their computational (pseudo) random number generator counterparts. TR...

Side-channel analysis (SCA) attacks constantly improve and evolve. Implementations are therefore designed to withstand strong SCA adversaries. Different side channels exhibit varying statistical characteristics of the sensed or exfiltrated leakage, a...

In this paper, we present a novel ultra-compact Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) architecture and its FPGA implementation. The proposed Delay Difference PUF (DD-PUF) is the most dense FPGA-compatible PUF ever reported in the literature, allowing th...

This paper formalises the security of programmable secure computation focusing on simplifying security proofs of new algorithms for existing computation frameworks. Security of the frameworks is usually well established but the security proofs of the...

In bioinformatics, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to detect associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and phenotypic traits such as diseases. Significant differences in SNP counts between case and control groups can...

In recent years, data-enabled technologies have intensified the rate and scale at which organisations collect and analyse data. Data mining techniques are applied to realise the full potential of large-scale data analysis. These techniques are highly...

Secure multi-party computation (SMC) is a cryptographic protocol that allows participants to compute the desired output without revealing their inputs. A variety of results related to increasing the efficiency of SMC protocol have been reported, and...

Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a state-of-the-art technique to optimize the speed of memory access and to efficiently use processing power during data transfers between the main system and a peripheral device. However, this advanced feature opens secu...

This paper shows new card-based cryptographic protocols with the minimum number of rounds, using private operations under the semi-honest model. Physical cards are used in card-based cryptographic protocols instead of computers to achieve secure mult...

With the continuous scaling of CMOS technology, which has now reached the 3 nm node at production level, static power begins to dominate the power consumption of nanometer CMOS integrated circuits. A novel class of security attacks to cryptographic c...
