A fundamental issue in blockchain systems is their scalability in terms of data storage,
computation, communication, and security. To resolve this issue, a promising research …

In the context of the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the
extensive proliferation of the global Internet, the authenticity of data has become a focal …

Data availability (DA) attack is a well-known problem in certain blockchains where users
accept an invalid block with unavailable portions. Previous works have used LDPC and 2-D …

Delegating large-scale computations to service providers is a common practice which raises
privacy concerns. This paper studies information-theoretic privacy-preserving del-egation of …

Multi-party computation (MPC) is promising for designing privacy-preserving machine
learning algorithms at edge networks. An emerging approach is coded-MPC (CMPC), which …

As blockchains continue to seek to scale to a larger number of nodes, the communication
complexity of protocols has become a significant priority as the network can quickly become …

Blockchain is the foundation of emerging applications, such as smart contracts, nonfungible
token (NFT), and metaverse. A key issue is that blockchain requires massive storage space …

In this paper, we address the problem of secure distributed computation in scenarios where
user data is not uniformly distributed, extending existing frameworks that assume uniformity …

We consider the problem of encoding information in a system of N= K+ R processors that
operate in a decentralized manner, ie, without a central processor which orchestrates the …
