• Title: Serverless Electronic Mail
• Authors: Geoffrey Goodell
• Abstract summary: We describe a simple approach to peer-to-peer electronic mail that would allow users to exchange messages without relying upon third-party mail server operators. The system allows participants to establish and use multiple unlinked identities for communication with each other. The design offers a robust, unintrusive method to use self-certifying Tor onion service names to bootstrap a web of trust.

• Abstract: We describe a simple approach to peer-to-peer electronic mail that would allow users of ordinary workstations and mobile devices to exchange messages without relying upon third-party mail server operators. Crucially, the system allows participants to establish and use multiple unlinked identities for communication with each other. The architecture leverages ordinary SMTP for message delivery and Tor for peer-to-peer communication. The design offers a robust, unintrusive method to use self-certifying Tor onion service names to bootstrap a web of trust based on public keys for end-to-end authentication and encryption, which in turn can be used to facilitate message delivery when the sender and recipient are not online simultaneously. We show how the system can interoperate with existing email systems and paradigms, allowing users to hold messages that others can retrieve via IMAP or to operate as a relay between system participants and external email users. Finally, we show how it is possible to use a broadcast protocol to implement mailing lists and how distributed ledger technology might be used to bootstrap consensus about shared knowledge among list members.

• Contract Wallet Using Emails [0.0]
  We propose a new construction for contract wallets, smart contract applications that allow users to control their crypto assets. Users can manipulate their crypto assets by simply sending emails with no need to manage keys. Unless the sender domain server forges the emails, the crypto assets remain secure in the proposed system.

  Device-independent (DI) quantum protocols aim to secure quantum communication independent of the devices used. We introduce the first DI-QSDC protocol that includes user identity authentication to establish the authenticity of both sender and receiver. We extend this approach to a DI Quantum Dialogue (QD) protocol where both parties can send secret messages upon mutual authentication.

  We develop a novel adversarial learning-based implicit semantic-aware communication architecture (iSAC) We prove that by applying iSAC, the destination user can always learn an inference rule that matches the true inference rule of the source messages. Experimental results show that the proposed iSAC can offer up to a 19.69 dB improvement over existing non-inferential communication solutions.

  We propose a Federated Graph Recommender System (FedGRec) to mitigate privacy concerns. In our system, users and the server explicitly store latent embeddings for users and items, where the latent embeddings summarize different orders of indirect user-item interactions. We perform extensive empirical evaluations to verify the efficacy of using latent embeddings as a proxy of missing interaction graph.

• Quantum Private Information Retrieval for Quantum Messages [71.78056556634196]
  Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) for quantum messages is the protocol in which a user retrieves one of the multiple quantum states from one or multiple servers without revealing which state is retrieved. We consider QPIR in two different settings: the blind setting, in which the servers contain one copy of the message states, and the visible setting, in which the servers contain the description of the message states.

FedUA adopts federated learning framework to enable a group of users to jointly train a model without sharing the raw inputs. We show our method is privacy-preserving, scalable with number of users, and allows new users to be added to training without changing the output layer.
