• Authors: Alessandro Pino, Davide Margaria, Andrea Vesco,
• Abstract summary: The paper proposes and discusses an alternative (mutual) authentication process for IoT nodes under the same administration domain. The main idea is to combine the Decentralized IDentifier (DID)-based verification of private key ownership with the verification of a proof that the DID belongs to an evolving trusted set.

• Abstract: The Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a decentralized paradigm enabling full control over the data used to build and prove the identity. In Internet of Things networks with security requirements, the Self-Sovereign Identity can play a key role and bring benefits with respect to centralized identity solutions. The challenge is to make the SSI compatible with resource-constraint IoT networks. In line with this objective, the paper proposes and discusses an alternative (mutual) authentication process for IoT nodes under the same administration domain. The main idea is to combine the Decentralized IDentifier (DID)-based verification of private key ownership with the verification of a proof that the DID belongs to an evolving trusted set. The solution is built around the proof of membership notion. The paper analyzes two membership solutions, a novel solution designed by the Authors based on Merkle trees and a second one based on the adaptation of Boneh, Boyen and Shacham (BBS) group signature scheme. The paper concludes with a performance estimation and a comparative analysis.

• Order-agnostic Identifier for Large Language Model-based Generative Recommendation [94.37662915542603]
  Items are assigned identifiers for Large Language Models (LLMs) to encode user history and generate the next item. Existing approaches leverage either token-sequence identifiers, representing items as discrete token sequences, or single-token identifiers, using ID or semantic embeddings. We propose SETRec, which leverages semantic tokenizers to obtain order-agnostic multi-dimensional tokens.

  Web3's decentralised infrastructure has upended the standardised approach to digital identity protocols like OpenID Connect. Web2 and Web3 currently operate in silos, with selective disclosure web tokens (SD-JWTs) and Web3 dApps being reliant on verifiable-chain data. This paper explores the integration of Web3 within the OpenID Connect framework, scrutinising established authentication protocols for their adaptability to decentralised identities.

  Verifiable Credential techniques are used to facilitate decentralized DID-based access control across multiple entities. Existing DID schemes generally rely on a distributed public key infrastructure that also causes challenges. This paper proposes a Permanent-Hiding (PIH)-based DID-based multi-party authentication framework with a signature-less VC model, named SLVC-DIDA.
