Blockchains are a new approach to creating distributed networks that were first introduced in
2008. It allows the formation of peer-to-peer networks based on consensus, forming chains …

An aggregatable subvector commitment (aSVC) scheme is a vector commitment (VC)
scheme that can aggregate multiple proofs into a single, small subvector proof. In this paper …

Vector commitments enable a user to commit to a sequence of values and provably reveal
one or many values at specific posi-tions at a later time. In this work, we construct …

As a promising alternative solution to cloud storage, decentralized storage networks (DSN)
are widely anticipated to develop continuously and reshape the storage market share in the …

As blockchains grow in size, validating new transactions becomes more and more resource
intensive. To deal with this, there is a need to discover compact encodings of the (effective) …

Authenticated dictionaries (ADs) are a key building block of many cryptographic systems,
such as transparency logs, distributed &# 64257; le systems and cryptocurrencies. In this …

Existing secure database management systems (DBMSs) focus on security and privacy of
data but overlook semantic properties, such as the correctness and ACID properties of …

The UAV network composed of resource‐constrained lightweight UAV swarms can
efficiently accomplish mission with time critical requirements in dynamic and complex …

Periodic key rotation is a widely used technique to enhance key compromise resilience.
Updatable encryption (UE) schemes provide an efficient approach to key rotation, ensuring …

Abstract In 1985, Goldwasser, Micali, and Rackoff introduced a compelling new notion of a
proof, known as a proof of knowledge, in which a verifier interactively checks that a prover …
