• Abstract: We propose a flood-based relay communication protocol that achieves end-to-end encryption, plausible deniability for users, and untraceable messages. It is resistant to changes in topology and infrastructure failures. It is also designed to hide metadata, such as sender and receiver, from those not involved.

  Tamper-Evident Pairing (TEP) is an improvement of the Push-Button configuration (PBC) standard. TEP relies on the Tamper-Evident Announcement (TEA), which guarantees that an adversary can neither tamper a transmitted message without being detected, nor hide the fact that the message has been sent. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the TEP protocol, including all information needed to understand how it works.

  This paper studies the study of fault-tolerant channel coding for quantum channels. We use techniques from fault-tolerant quantum computing to establish coding theorems for sending classical and quantum information in this scenario. We extend these methods to the case of entanglement-assisted communication, in particular proving that the fault-tolerant capacity approaches the usual capacity when the gate error approaches zero.
