Speech Title: Post-Quantum Cryptography (Pqc) Algorithms For A Secured Quantum Key Distribution (Qkd) Authentication

Abstract: Mobile communication changes transmission capability and speed every year with the passage of time and generation. 5G is the modern way of mobile communication which is using across the world. As 5G is being used by different numerous people, it is required to implement security mechanisms that safe the transmission of data to the client. The 5G Mobile communication utilize various nodes to offer secure and on-demand connectivity to other devices. The authentication of nodes in 5G networks based on classical cryptography, are exposed to eavesdropping in communication. The emergence of quantum authentication has attracted significant interest and has become active research in the Post-quantum Cryptography (PQC) area. The PQC is strengthened by the unconditional security in quantum mechanics law as proven by the non-cloning theorem and Heisenberg Uncertainty theory. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method of securely exchanging encryption keys between communicating parties. Communication in QKD involves two different channels: the Quantum Channel for photon transmission and the Classical Channel for post-data processing. However, the post-processing stage requires authenticated classical communication to thwart security threats like eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Currently, classical channel authentication relies on classical cryptographic methods which are inefficient and vulnerable to quantum attacks. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) can solve encryption and authentication issues in the classical channel due to its quantum-safe nature and strong computational security.

Speech Title: Display-Camera Visible Light Communication Systems Using Adversarial Examples on a Monocular Depth Estimation Model
Abstract: In this study, we introduce imperceptible display-camera communication systems using adversarial examples on a convolutional neural network (CNN) monocular depth estimation model. The adversarial examples can change the output of the CNN model while not being seen by human eyes. We take advantage of the adversarial examples to embed data into the output of the CNN monocular depth estimation model to achieve imperceptible display-camera communication systems.

Speech Title: Towards Incentive-Compatible, Trustworthy and High Quality Mobile Crowdsensing
Abstract: Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) is an appealing sensing paradigm that leverages the sensing capabilities of smart devices and the inherent mobility of device owners to accomplish sensing tasks with the aim of constructing powerful industrial systems. Incentivizing mobile users to participate in sensing activities and contribute high-quality data is of paramount importance to the success of MCS services. This talk will make an introduction to a distributed data trading framework and investigate the potential of consortium blockchain to ensure the privacy and security of data transactions in MCS systems. Moreover, this talk will also make an introduction to a truth discovery framework, which can separate low-quality data from high-quality data.
