The convergence of quantum physics and machine learning presents unprecedented opportunities for developing ultra-secure authentication systems. This comprehensive paper investigates the integration of quantum random number generators (QRNGs) with advanced machine learning architectures, including quantum neural networks (QNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and hybrid quantumclassical models, to establish authentication mechanisms with information-theoretic security guarantees. We provide rigorous theoretical foundations spanning quantum entropy theory, min-entropy estimation, and randomness certification, complemented by detailed analyses of contemporary QRNG hardware implementations including photonic integrated circuits achieving generation rates exceeding 20 Gbps. The paper explores deep learning architectures for biometric authentication, demonstrating how QNN-enhanced systems achieve superior performance through quantum superposition and entanglement. Furthermore, we examine the application of quantum entropy sources in zero-knowledge proof protocols, particularly zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs, addressing post-quantum security concerns. Through comprehensive mathematical formulations, algorithmic implementations, and security analyses, we establish that hybrid quantum-classical authentication systems combining QRNG-derived cryptographic keys with ML-based behavioral authentication provide provably secure, practical solutions for next-generation cybersecurity applications. Experimental results from current quantum hardware platforms validate theoretical predictions and demonstrate real-world applicability.

The chain of custody (CoC) process in legal and forensic asset management requires a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof system to maintain evidence integrity. Traditional CoC methods, relying on centralised databases and manual documentation, are prone to manipulation, inefficiencies, and unauthorised access, compromising legal proceedings. This paper presents a blockchain-based CoC framework leveraging decentralised ledger technology (DLT) for immutable, verifiable, and automated evidence management. Smart contracts facilitate secure asset registration, controlled custody transfer, and full traceability, ensuring reliable documentation across each phase of custody. To address scalability challenges and high transaction costs, the system integrates interplanetary file system (IPFS) for decentralised storage and optimises on-chain and off-chain data handling. Secure hashing and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) enhance data integrity, accessibility, and compliance by enabling evidence verification without exposing sensitive data. A case verification mechanism enables judicial authorities to authenticate evidence using blockchain records, while an automated logging and reporting module generates a comprehensive “Consolidated Case Report” detailing FIR data, evidence metadata, and verification statuses. By addressing privacy concerns, storage efficiency, and operational scalability, this framework advances the reliability, security, and transparency in managing evidence, reducing reliance on manual verification and strengthening legal forensics.

Multi-authority Attribute-based Encryption (MAABE) schemes distribute the responsibility of managing the scheme attributes and attribute keys among several attribute authorities. However, MA-ABE schemes often assume that the attribute authorities are always fully trusted parties and lack authenticity checks. This paper proposes a Ciphertext-Policy MAABE scheme that incorporates a user-authority mutual authentication mechanism exploiting the properties of Zero-Knowledge Proofs. A batch version of the Schnorr protocol validates the authority identity and the possession of claimed attribute keys. The complete scheme is enhanced using asymmetric pairings to improve security and performance. Furthermore, outsourced decryption is considered to exploit the available computing resources under a fog-enabled IoT environment. The proposed scheme's analysis shows the overall construction's efficiency and, particularly, the efficiency and suitability of the mutual verification protocol.

Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptographic algorithms have garnered significant attention for their ability to enhance privacy. However, the practical deployment of these algorithms remains challenging because they demand extremely high computational effort and handle huge volumes of data, especially in the Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) step. In this work, we propose an HBM-aware dataflow that employs sub-tiling and row-shuffling techniques to overcome the nonuniform stride access problem and to maximize HBM bandwidth utilization. We also design the NTT accelerator to use minimal FPGA resources. In particular, we explore diverse design options for the 256-bit modular multiplier and adopt an efficient design that optimizes resource usage and performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed accelerator achieves lower latency and enhanced resource utilization compared to state-of-the-art FPGA-based designs.
Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) Validium is a Layer 2 blockchain scaling solution that processes transactions off-chain. It uses Polygon’s distinctive approach to Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) implemented within their Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). A key factor in its successful deployment is robustness, ensuring that users can trust their transactions will be processed accurately and promptly. This research concerns developing robust validation methodologies and comprehensive testing strategies targeting the “double-spending” problem within Polygon CDK Validium. We indicate theoretical scenarios where double-spending vulnerabilities could arise in Polygon CDK Validium by identifying how execution errors can combine with a specific category of flawed constraints to create vulnerabilities. When combined with what we classify as Invalid PIL Constraints For EVM Specification Vulnerabilities (IPCFESV), these errors can trigger problematic behaviours. We further illustrate how erroneous behaviour resulting from IPCFESV can lead to cascading involvement in withdrawal operations resulting in irreversible cross-layer double-spending. We also illustrate how a protocol anti-censorship mechanism bypasses standard validation checks, thereby intensifying reliance on constraint correctness. We then propose ways to determine the correct behaviour. We propose a method to utilise Polygon’s integration testing framework for generating execution traces for de-facto ERC-20 fungible token standard. The outcomes of this study will form the foundational basis for the subsequent development of practical testing and verification methods for Polygon CDK Validium. Implementation and empirical validation remain as future work.
Cloud infrastructure refers to the dynamic provisioning of computing resources over the internet, enabling scalable and flexible enterprise operations. However, such environments face significant security challenges, particularly in access management. Cloud infrastructure delivers scalable computing resources, yet traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) mechanisms face challenges such as centralized control, misconfigurations, and limited auditability. This study addresses these challenges by proposing a Hyperledger Fabric-based decentralized access control framework integrated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for healthcare data security. The framework employs Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) for identity validation, Ciphertext Policy Attribute Based Encryption (CP- ABE) with Proxy Re-Encryption (PRE) for fine-grained data access, and machine learning driven anomaly detection for continuous monitoring. Experimental evaluation achieved throughput of 15000 transactions per second, latency of 350 milliseconds, privacy preservation up to 99.1 percent, and anomaly detection accuracy of 99.63 percent, surpassing prior models significantly. Storage analysis demonstrated predictable scalability with encrypted medical records up to 20 MB, while token revocation time remained within 1.9 seconds under network stress. The results confirm that blockchain-based access control enhances security, privacy, and auditability while maintaining operational efficiency. This research establishes a scalable and tamper-resistant model for secure healthcare data management in cloud environments.
Abstract — The Fractal Eavesdrop Detection (FED) protocol defines a cryptographic mutual-authentication... The Fractal Eavesdrop Detection (FED) protocol defines a cryptographic mutual-authentication and integrity validation mechanism between two fractal nodes sharing a recursive lineage. Unlike conventional systems that rely on fixed keys or static hashes, FED uses algorithmic mutability, session-based seed derivation, multi-point challenge validation, and time-bound CRC binding to detect both impersonation and passive eavesdropping. The protocol is designed for lightweight, low-power devices such as ESP32-class microcontrollers and operates without blockchain consensus or zero-knowledge proofs, while still enabling secure proof-of-origin and tamper-awareness. FED serves as the security and validation layer within the EQUORA Institute’s Fractal Economy architecture and complements the BlockFractal cryptographic tokenization layer and the EquoraVault hardware-based proof-of-impact system. This document is released as part of the EQUORA Institute White Paper Series and is a preprint version (v0.8), subject to revision. All versions remain archived for DOI-based citation integrity.

Cloud storage uses proofs of ownership to avoid redundant uploads while keeping file contents secret. Many existing schemes need extra round trips, or rely on predictable sampling. These choices reduce security when an adversary knows part of the file. We present MiS-PoW, a zero knowledge and non-interactive proof of ownership. The protocol derives a synchronized challenge seed from the existing HTTPS/TLS session. The seed binds a discretized time window and the file identifier. Both parties compute the same challenges locally, and the protocol adds no new messages. MiS-PoW samples blocks with a stratified policy without duplicates. The policy enforces coverage across partitions and reduces the advantage of contiguous knowledge and near duplicate files. The proof layer uses STARKs with simple AIR constraints. The constraints check that indices come from the seed, lie in range, are unique, and meet per partition counts. We analyze security and show seed unpredictability, resistance to replay, and bounds under partial knowledge with limited grinding. A prototype shows that verification time does not grow with file size, and proof and bandwidth costs remain modest. MiS-PoW is deployable, privacy preserving, and scalable for cloud storage.
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are increasingly capable of initiating financial transactions on behalf of users or other agents. This evolution introduces a fundamental challenge: verifying both the authenticity of an autonomous agent and the true intent behind its transactions in a decentralized, trustless environment. Traditional payment systems assume human authorization, but autonomous, agent-led payments remove that safeguard. This paper presents a blockchain-based framework that cryptographically authenticates and verifies the intent of every AI-initiated transaction. The proposed system leverages decentralized identity (DID) standards and verifiable credentials to establish agent identities, on-chain intent proofs to record user authorization, and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to preserve privacy while ensuring policy compliance. Additionally, secure execution environments (TEE-based attestations) guarantee the integrity of agent reasoning and execution. The hybrid on-chain/off-chain architecture provides an immutable audit trail linking user intent to payment outcome. Through qualitative analysis, the framework demonstrates strong resistance to impersonation, unauthorized transactions, and misalignment of intent. This work lays the foundation for secure, auditable, and intent-aware autonomous economic agents, enabling a future of verifiable trust and accountability in AI-driven financial ecosystems.
This student propose a new methodology for academic credential verification. The system focuses on tamper resistance, transparency, and scalability-key factor for building trust among institution, employers and student Developed on block chain technology, the system creates an immutable record that can be used in order to store academic credentials that are safe to prevent any third-party modifications to ensure that their alteration is prevented to a significant extent and the fear of fraud is reduced in the system. It integrates the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) that can be used to store data in a decentralized to guarantee fast access to documents and safe guard against tampering. Biometric hashing offers individual-specific users, which increases security and prevents Fraud, and zero-knowledge proofs (zkSNARKs) prove the credentials without expressing crucial confidential data, hence strikes the equilibrium between privacy and verification. Future AI algorithms could also optimize the detection of Fraud by detecting patterns and anomalies that further enhance security and user trust. The system is set in such a way that it is flexible to integrate with the existing block chain networks with significant contributions being seen in increased accuracy in verifications, security integrity, identity confirmation and reduced fraudulent activities. Such a system is essential ultimately to establish trust and credibility in academic credentials across borders thus strengthening the credibility of educational degree.
As the application of Embodied Intelligence deepens within the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) domain, traditional centralized trust schemes are increasingly unable to meet the demand for establishing efficient trust among heterogeneous devices, due to risks like single points of failure, auditing difficulties, and privacy leakage. To address these issues, this paper proposes a trust and privacy-preserving framework based on blockchain and Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP). The framework establishes a decentralized trust foundation using Hyperledger Fabric. On this foundation, a Decentralized Identity (DID) system is implemented through smart contracts, assigning a unique and verifiable identity anchor to each Embodied Intelligence device. Furthermore, to reconcile auditability and data privacy, the framework integrates ZKP technology. This technology enables edge devices to locally generate and submit on-chain proofs of operational compliance, facilitating transparent auditing without disclosing sensitive data. Finally, to transform trustworthy behavior records into a quantifiable metric, the framework designs a dynamic reputation assessment mechanism. This mechanism uses smart contracts to automatically analyze the verified on-chain behavioral history, continuously updating the reputation score for each Embodied Intelligence device. A smart factory case study demonstrates the framework's practical application, while performance evaluation on a physical testbed confirms its efficiency and scalability for real-time industrial control.

Anonymous credentials are an essential cryptography primitive to protect user privacy and provide fine-grained access control for proving ownership and rights of specific credentials. There are currently two roadmaps to designing anonymous credentials: one is signature credentials, which are constructed by signature with efficient protocols and non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs, and the other is functional credentials, which are transformed from predicate encryption schemes. However, none of the existing instances of anonymous credentials support$expressive$access policies expressed as conjunction, disjunction, or arbitrary Boolean formulas, which are particularly useful for cloud services. In this paper, we propose a new fast and expressive anonymous credential, called FEAC. It is constructed with the unique$dual$$randomness$$splitting$technique, which combines the most efficient anonymous key-policy attribute-based encryption (USENIX 24) and short randomizable signature (CT-RSA 18) to balance efficiency, expressiveness, and security, demonstrating a new way to instantiate anonymous credentials. Furthermore, our credential presentation protocol offloads most of the time-consuming computation to the cloud server (11 pairing) to reduce the computational burden on the user side (2 pairing). We propose formal definitions and formal security proofs of FEAC. We provide implementations and evaluate the performance of FEAC, comparing it to state-of-the-art work.

Elections are the base for a democratic society, but there are problems like fraud tampering, slow result processing in the current voting systems. To solve these problems, this project introduces a Blockchain-Based Voting System as a scalable solution. This system uses IOTA's Tangle (a Directed Acyclic Graph model) to provide fast, scalable, and feeless transactions, making it suitable for large-scale voting. The personal details are kept secret by using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). A Hybrid Cloud Model is used, where sensitive data is stored securely on private servers, while the public network ensures transparency. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by blocking unauthorized access. By combining these technologies, the system makes voting tamper-proof, keeps voters anonymous, allows real-time result announcements, and protects against frauds. Overall, this solution shows how blockchain can improve the trust, fairness, and accessibility of democratic participation.

Blockchain technology into the healthcare sector, logistics, finance, and massive IoT system, this technology is making its way into it. With the issue of privacy becoming much more critical than before in the adoption phases. Even though blockchains provide integrity and resistant storage against tampering, numerous implementations still expose behavioural evidence, time-based data, besides other forms of metadata, which may be compromised by inference attacks. These breaches become more apparent when there is an exchange or near real-time processing of sensitive information. This paper will analyze the performance of three widely discussed privacy-saving methods Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), not to mention Differential Privacy (DP) in a practical blockchain architecture and not in isolation. A testbed made of Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum instances privately owned was constructed to enable each of the methods to be tested under the same conditions. The experiments made trade-offs of transaction suspensions, added computational load, and exposure to metadata-based attacks.The results demonstrate that ZKP-based settings store observable metadata substantially and restricted the amount that an adversary would deduce regarding transaction patterns. HE was a good implementation in areas where safe computation was needed but with significant latency overhead. The least significant communication impact was on DP, which was, however, to be carefully tuned in terms of its privacy parameters to prevent the decline in protection. We further conducted simulated attacks to research into the reaction of each approach to pressure and detail how validation can be extended in the future with the aid of open datasets through the MIMIC-III, OpenAQ, and TII cybersecurity logs. On the whole, the findings provide useful insights to teams, who want to embed cryptographic privacy tools in production-scale blockchain systems in particular in those industries where confidentiality and data protection cannot be jeopardized.

The industry growth of the digital currency market and the existence of the old banking system, in turn, has necessitated an urgent requirement of a hybrid financial infrastructure that will offer an effective, secure, and real-time interoperability. The current banking networks are founded on centralised books, which implies that interbank settlements are slow, untransparent, and involve high fraud risks. In contrast, the decentralisation and immutability of a public blockchain network are associated with the price of scalability, as well as regulatory and integration issues. Such loopholes will be bridged in this research through the introduction of a Decentralised Ledger Architecture of Hybrid Banking (DLHB), a consortium-based permissioned blockchain infrastructure, in which interbank fiat settlements are registered. Nevertheless, open blockchain networks will be used to effect digital currency settlements. Their connection will be based on cross-chain smart contracts that will facilitate the coordination of atomic, secure, and auditable transfers. It is built on recent cryptography-based capabilities, such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and secure multi-party computation (SMPC), which can protect sensitive financial information and facilitate compliance. BFT protocols, which are optimised at the consortium layer, are classified under Byzantine Fault Tolerance to ensure that the technology meets both security and high throughput requirements. The public blockchain layer is optimised for the validation of Proof-ofStake (PoS). Simulation experiments indicate that the DL-HB framework is capable of supporting up to 85% higher transaction throughput, 60% reduced latency, and much more audit-friendly and fault-tolerant compared to the traditional banking systems and to the current blockchain solutions. The recommended architecture will allow co-existing between digital and fiat transactions on a transparent basis since the architecture will eradicate bottlenecks in operations, decrease the possibility of fraud, and real-time settlements. This paper proves that a multi-layered high-technical quality blockchain platform can redesign the hybrid banking systems as an efficient, secure, and scaled platform to integrate the emerging digital assets into the traditional financial systems without affecting regulatory compliance or stability of operations.

Due to increased globalization and international travel, there is a growing demand for secure and private identity verification systems at border entries. Reliance on databases controlled by only a few hinders quick, safe, and easy border crossings for travelers. The paper proposes a system utilizing blockchain technology that would enable individuals to verify their identities in real-time when traveling internationally. The system suggested for travelers utilizes selfsovereign identity technology, allowing them to manage their verified IDs on their devices through wallets based on blockchain technology. Once biometric details, such as facial recognition, fingerprints, and iris scans, are collected from each individual, they are linked together on the identical federated, permissioned blockchain by the nation's and border agencies. With the help of smart contracts, it is possible to control entry such that only approved agencies verify traveler documents, and zero-knowledge proofs ensure that only essential attributes about a person's identity are disclosed. Simulations prove that the system reduces verification time to under two seconds, significantly outperforming traditional systems, and prevents nearly 90% more identity fraud. Additionally, since blockchain is decentralized and secure, it ensures that audit records are transparent and there are no single points of failure. The work introduces a manageable and compatible system that enables people to travel more efficiently while facilitating collaboration between border officials and countries. The next step is to do significant pilot deployments, connect to current travel technology, and face rules and differences among countries and regions to make sure air (/land) mobility grows for everyone.
The sheer rampant growth of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the safety-critical, regulated, and large-scale areas of infrastructures has enhanced the demand of deployment models that are secure, ethical compliant, and scalable in terms of operation. The proposed research aims to develop a layered AI system architecture with verifiable privacy, federated orchestration, and explanation of decision-making as the first principles, as opposed to an afterthought. The framework consists of three modular parts, namely a privacy preserving computational substrate based on holomorphic encryption (HE) and differential privacy (DP), a distributed trust model that is enforced by a zero knowledge proofs (ZKP) and decentralized authentication protocols, and an ethical governance layer that includes policy-aware execution and explainable AI (XAI) reasoning. In contrast to the isolated sandbox setup, this architecture was tried in the realistic environment of a deployment using the representative of the domain data, such as OpenAQ sensor telemetry, MIMIC-III health logs, or smart energy grid datasets. The simulations were performed on 60-node Docker Swarm cluster using orchestrated adversarial attacks such as input reconstruction, consensus disruption, and metadata inference. Based on empirical evidence, the results indicate the latency stabilization at less than 140 ms, the cryptographic computation overhead at less than 22 percent and the privacy leakage reduction at more than 83 percent compared to centralized conventional baselines. These results confirm the correctness of implementing scalable AI solutions and not compromising ethical outcomes, regulatory guidance, and computational performance. This is the stepping block of future AI infrastructures that will have to be at scale, constrained, and in a similar spirit as the human-centric values.
