• Abstract: Authentication is a fundamental security means for protecting system resources. Authenticator-centric authentication techniques (AuthN Techniques) address how mechanisms and credentials are used via Authenticators. There are many AuthN Techniques that differ in many ways and there exist classification approaches that aim to structure them. However, they are limited in the aspects they classify and are not flexible enough to accommodate the diverse nature of AuthN Techniques. This paper presents two contributions. First, novel, faceted classification schemes for AuthN Techniques and Authenticators are presented. The schemes were developed based on 345 papers identified through a targeted LLM-assisted literature review and semantic clustering. The classification schemes were applied to build a catalog of Authenticators and AuthN Techniques; the second contribution of this paper. This paper presents our methodology, the classification schemes with example applications, the list of AuthN Techniques from the catalog, and discussions on future work.

• Adaptive Hierarchical Certification for Segmentation using Randomized Smoothing [87.48628403354351]
  certification for machine learning is proving that no adversarial sample can evade a model within a range under certain conditions. Common certification methods for segmentation use a flat set of fine-grained classes, leading to high abstain rates due to model uncertainty. We propose a novel, more practical setting, which certifies pixels within a multi-level hierarchy, and adaptively relaxes the certification to a coarser level for unstable components.
