HMFEv - An Efficient Multivariate Signature Scheme
Multivariate Cryptography, as one of the main candidates for establishing post-quantum cryptosystems, provides strong, efficient and well-understood digital signature schemes such as UOV, Rainbow, and Gui. While Gui provides very short signatures, it is
CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT FOR ENERGY APPLICATIONS
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are smart systems that consist of highly interconnected networks of physical and computational components. The tight integration of a wide range of heterogeneous components enables new functionality and quality of life
A Novel Adaptive Transmission Algorithm for Device-to-Device Direct Discovery
In this paper we study and improve one service used for Proximity Services and Device-to-Device (D2D) communications: D2D Direct Discovery. As defined in the Third Generation Partnership Project, for both in-coverage and out-of-coverage cases, resource
Towards Actionable Mission Impact Assessment in the Context of Cloud Computing
Today's cyber-attacks towards enterprise networks often undermine and even fail the mission assurance of victim networks. Mission cyber resilience (or active cyber defense) is critical to prevent or minimize negative consequences towards missions. Without
Securing Networks Against Unpatchable and Unknown Vulnerabilities Using Hetrogeneous Hardening Options
The administrators of a mission critical network usually have to worry about non-traditional threats, e.g., how to live with known, but unpatchable vulnerabilities,and how to improve the network's resilience against potentially unknown vulnerabilities. To
Organizations rely heavily on the use of information technology (IT) products and services to run their day-to-day activities. Ensuring the security of these products and services is of the utmost importance for the success of the organization. This
A Hybrid Task Graph Scheduler for High Performance Image Processing Workflows
Designing applications for scalability is key to improving their performance in hybrid and cluster computing. Scheduling code to utilize parallelism is difficult, particularly when dealing with data dependencies, memory management, data motion, and
Digital Identity Guidelines: Federation and Assertions
This document and its companion documents, SP 800-63, SP 800-63A, and SP 800-63B, provide technical and procedural guidelines to agencies for the implementation of federated identity systems and for assertions used by federations. This publication

This bulletin summarizes the information in NISTIR 8114: Report on Lightweight Cryptography which provides an overview of the lightweight cryptography project at NIST and describes plans for the standardization of lightweight cryptography algorithms.
A Testbed to Verify Timing Behavior of Cyber-Physical Systems
Time is a foundational aspect of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Correct time and timing of system events is critical to optimized responsiveness to the environment, in terms of timeliness, accuracy and precision in the knowledge, measurement, prediction
Randomness in nonlocal games between mistrustful players
If two quantum players at a nonlocal game G achieve a superclassical score, then their measurement outcomes must be at least partially random from the perspective of any third player. This is the basis for device-independent quantum cryptography. In this
Implementation and Validation of an LTE D2D Model for ns-3
The ability to perform device-to-device (D2D) communication in Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based cellular networks became possible with the introduction of Proximity Services (ProSe) functionalities in the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP)
