Certificateless threshold signature from lattice

Threshold signature has been widely used in electronic wills, electronic elections, cloud computing, secure multi-party computation and other fields. Until now, certificateless threshold signature schemes are all based on traditional mathem...

Performing quantum computing experiments in the cloud

Quantum computing technology has reached a second renaissance in the past five years. Increased interest from both the private and public sector combined with extraordinary theoretical and experimental progress has solidified this technolog...

On Quantum Computing

In recent months, announcements on the progress toward harnessing quantum computing have solicited divers and sometimes strong reactions and opinions from academia and industry. Some say quantum computing is impossible, while others point t...

Cloud Quantum Computing of an Atomic Nucleus

We report a quantum simulation of the deuteron binding energy on quantum processors accessed via cloud servers. We use a Hamiltonian from pionless effective field theory at leading order. We design a low-depth version of the unitary coupled...

Continuous monitoring biosensors for advanced healthcare and environmental applications: challenges, material innovations and future directions

This review critically discusses the development of continuous monitoring biosensors and the technological developments that have facilitated the transition from one-off or periodic measurement sensors to longer-term, connected and autonomo...

Quantum Computing - An Introduction and Cloud Quantum Computing

Quantum computing uses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to perform operations on data and it’s a huge leap in the field of computation. A quantum computer is a computational device which uses quantum mechanical phenomena like superpositio...

Scheduling in distributed systems: A cloud computing perspective

Distributed systems meet economics: pricing in the cloud

Cloud computing allows users to perform computation in a public cloud with a pricing scheme typically based on incurred resource consumption. While cloud comput-ing is often considered as merely a new application for classic distributed sys...

Machine learning in cybersecurity: a comprehensive survey

Today’s world is highly network interconnected owing to the pervasiveness of small personal devices (e.g., smartphones) as well as large computing devices or services (e.g., cloud computing or online banking), and thereby each passing minut...

Cybersecurity and platform competition in the cloud

Cloud computing services are examples of platforms in the classic sense of the economics of two-sided markets. In particular, indirect externalities arise in the cloud from connecting users with developers of complementary products or servi...
