  text: "Functional encryption (FE) is a primitive where the holder of a master secret
    key can control which functions a user can evaluate on encrypted data. It is a
    powerful primitive that even implies indistinguishability obfuscation (iO), given
    sufficiently compact ciphertexts (Ananth-Jain, CRYPTO’15 and Bitansky-Vaikuntanathan,
    FOCS’15). However, despite being extensively studied, there are FE schemes, such
    as function-hiding inner-product FE (Bishop-Jain-Kowalczyk, AC’15, Abdalla-Catalano-Fiore-Gay-Ursu,
    CRYPTO’18) and compact quadratic FE (Baltico-Catalano-Fiore-Gay, Lin, CRYPTO’17),
    that can be only realized using pairings. This raises the question if there are
    some mathematical barriers that hinder us from realizing these FE schemes from
    other assumptions.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we study the difficulty of constructing
    lattice-based compact FE. We generalize the impossibility results of Ünal (EC’20)
    for lattice-based function-hiding FE, and extend it to the case of compact FE.
    Concretely, we prove lower bounds for lattice-based compact FE schemes which meet
    some (natural) algebraic restrictions at encryption and decryption, and have ciphertexts
    of linear size and secret keys of minimal degree. We see our results as important
    indications of why it is hard to construct lattice-based FE schemes for new functionalities,
    and which mathematical barriers have to be overcome."

  text: In distributed systems with processes that do not share a global clock, partial
    synchrony is achieved by clock synchronization that guarantees bounded clock skew
    among all applications. Existing solutions for distributed runtime verification
    under partial synchrony against temporal logic specifications are exact but suffer
    from significant computational overhead. In this paper, we propose an approximate
    distributed monitoring algorithm for Signal Temporal Logic (STL) that mitigates
    this issue by abstracting away potential interleaving behaviors. This conservative
    abstraction enables a significant speedup of the distributed monitors, albeit
    with a tradeoff in accuracy. We address this tradeoff with a methodology that
    combines our approximate monitor with its exact counterpart, resulting in enhanced
    efficiency without sacrificing precision. We evaluate our approach with multiple
    experiments, showcasing its efficacy in both real-world applications and synthetic
    examples.

  text: "Hypernode logic can reason about the prefix relation on stutter-reduced finite
    traces through the stutter-reduced prefix predicate. We increase the expressiveness
    of hypernode logic in two ways. First, we split the stutter-reduced prefix predicate
    into an explicit stutter-reduction operator and the classical prefix predicate
    on words. This change gives hypernode logic the ability to combine synchronous
    and asynchronous reasoning by explicitly stating which parts of traces can stutter.
    Second, we allow the use of regular expressions in formulas to reason about the
    structure of traces. This change enables hypernode logic to describe a mixture
    of trace properties and hyperproperties.\r\n\r\nWe show how to translate extended
    hypernode logic formulas into multi-track automata, which are automata that read
    multiple input words. Then we describe a fully online monitoring algorithm for
    monitoring k-safety hyperproperties specified in the logic. We have implemented
    the monitoring algorithm, and evaluated it on monitoring synchronous and asynchronous
    versions of observational determinism, and on checking the privacy preservation
    by compiler optimizations."

  text: 'The analysis of formal models that include quantitative aspects such as timing
    or probabilistic choices is performed by quantitative verification tools. Broad
    and mature tool support is available for computing basic properties such as expected
    rewards on basic models such as Markov chains. Previous editions of QComp, the
    comparison of tools for the analysis of quantitative formal models, focused on
    this setting. Many application scenarios, however, require more advanced property
    types such as LTL and parameter synthesis queries as well as advanced models like
    stochastic games and partially observable MDPs. For these, tool support is in
    its infancy today. This paper presents the outcomes of QComp 2023: a survey of
    the state of the art in quantitative verification tool support for advanced property
    types and models. With tools ranging from first research prototypes to well-supported
    integrations into established toolsets, this report highlights today’s active
    areas and tomorrow’s challenges in tool-focused research for quantitative verification.'

  text: 'In this work we prove lower bounds on the (communication) cost of maintaining
    a shared key among a dynamic group of users. Being “dynamic” means one can add
    and remove users from the group. This captures important protocols like multicast
    encryption (ME) and continuous group-key agreement (CGKA), which is the primitive
    underlying many group messaging applications. We prove our bounds in a combinatorial
    setting where the state of the protocol progresses in rounds. The state of the
    protocol in each round is captured by a set system, with each of its elements
    specifying a set of users who share a secret key. We show this combinatorial model
    implies bounds in symbolic models for ME and CGKA that capture, as building blocks,
    PRGs, PRFs, dual PRFs, secret sharing, and symmetric encryption in the setting
    of ME, and PRGs, PRFs, dual PRFs, secret sharing, public-key encryption, and key-updatable
    public-key encryption in the setting of CGKA. The models are related to the ones
    used by Micciancio and Panjwani (Eurocrypt’04) and Bienstock et al. (TCC’20) to
    analyze ME and CGKA, respectively. We prove – using the Bollobás’ Set Pairs Inequality
    – that the cost (number of uploaded ciphertexts) for replacing a set of d users
    in a group of size n is Ω(dln(n/d)). Our lower bound is asymptotically tight and
    both improves on a bound of Ω(d) by Bienstock et al. (TCC’20), and generalizes
    a result by Micciancio and Panjwani (Eurocrypt’04), who proved a lower bound of
    Ω(log(n)) for d=1. '

  text: "A universalthresholdizer (UT), constructed from a threshold fully homomorphic
    encryption by Boneh et. al , Crypto 2018, is a general framework for universally
    thresholdizing many cryptographic schemes. However, their framework is insufficient
    to construct strongly secure threshold schemes, such as threshold signatures and
    threshold public-key encryption, etc.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we strengthen the
    security definition for a universal thresholdizer and propose a scheme which satisfies
    our stronger security notion. Our UT scheme is an improvement of Boneh et. al
    ’s construction at the level of threshold fully homomorphic encryption using a
    key homomorphic pseudorandom function. We apply our strongly secure UT scheme
    to construct strongly secure threshold signatures and threshold public-key encryption."

  text: "The evasive LWE assumption, proposed by Wee [Eurocrypt’22 Wee] for constructing
    a lattice-based optimal broadcast encryption, has shown to be a powerful assumption,
    adopted by subsequent works to construct advanced primitives ranging from ABE
    variants to obfuscation for null circuits. However, a closer look reveals significant
    differences among the precise assumption statements involved in different works,
    leading to the fundamental question of how these assumptions compare to each other.
    In this work, we initiate a more systematic study on evasive LWE assumptions:\r\n(i)
    Based on the standard LWE assumption, we construct simple counterexamples against
    three private-coin evasive LWE variants, used in [Crypto’22 Tsabary, Asiacrypt’22
    VWW, Crypto’23 ARYY] respectively, showing that these assumptions are unlikely
    to hold.\r\n\r\n(ii) Based on existing evasive LWE variants and our counterexamples,
    we propose and define three classes of plausible evasive LWE assumptions, suitably
    capturing all existing variants for which we are not aware of non-obfuscation-based
    counterexamples.\r\n\r\n(iii) We show that under our assumption formulations,
    the security proofs of [Asiacrypt’22 VWW] and [Crypto’23 ARYY] can be recovered,
    and we reason why the security proof of [Crypto’22 Tsabary] is also plausibly

  text: We present version 2.0 of the Partial Exploration Tool (PET), a tool for verification
    of probabilistic systems. We extend the previous version by adding support for
    stochastic games, based on a recent unified framework for sound value iteration
    algorithms. Thereby, PET2 is the first tool implementing a sound and efficient
    approach for solving stochastic games with objectives of the type reachability/safety
    and mean payoff. We complement this approach by developing and implementing a
    partial-exploration based variant for all three objectives. Our experimental evaluation
    shows that PET2 offers the most efficient partial-exploration based algorithm
    and is the most viable tool on SGs, even outperforming unsound tools.

  text: Certification helps to increase trust in formal verification of safety-critical
    systems which require assurance on their correctness. In hardware model checking,
    a widely used formal verification technique, phase abstraction is considered one
    of the most commonly used preprocessing techniques. We present an approach to
    certify an extended form of phase abstraction using a generic certificate format.
    As in earlier works our approach involves constructing a witness circuit with
    an inductive invariant property that certifies the correctness of the entire model
    checking process, which is then validated by an independent certificate checker.
    We have implemented and evaluated the proposed approach including certification
    for various preprocessing configurations on hardware model checking competition
    benchmarks. As an improvement on previous work in this area, the proposed method
    is able to efficiently complete certification with an overhead of a fraction of
    model checking time.

  text: System behaviors are traditionally evaluated through binary classifications
    of correctness, which do not suffice for properties involving quantitative aspects
    of systems and executions. Quantitative automata offer a more nuanced approach,
    mapping each execution to a real number by incorporating weighted transitions
    and value functions generalizing acceptance conditions. In this paper, we introduce
    QuAK, the first tool designed to automate the analysis of quantitative automata.
    QuAK currently supports a variety of quantitative automaton types, including Inf,
    Sup, LimInf, LimSup, LimInfAvg, and LimSupAvg automata, and implements decision
    procedures for problems such as emptiness, universality, inclusion, equivalence,
    as well as for checking whether an automaton is safe, live, or constant. Additionally,
    QuAK is able to compute extremal values when possible, construct safety-liveness
    decompositions, and monitor system behaviors. We demonstrate the effectiveness
    of QuAK through experiments focusing on the inclusion, constant-function check,
    and monitoring problems.

  text: "Abstract. Continuous group key agreement (CGKA) allows a group of\r\nusers
    to maintain a continuously updated shared key in an asynchronous\r\nsetting where
    parties only come online sporadically and their messages\r\nare relayed by an
    untrusted server. CGKA captures the basic primitive\r\nunderlying group messaging
    schemes.\r\nCurrent solutions including TreeKEM (“Messaging Layer Security”\r\n(MLS)
    IETF RFC 9420) cannot handle concurrent requests while retaining low communication
    complexity. The exception being CoCoA, which\r\nis concurrent while having extremely
    low communication complexity (in\r\ngroups of size n and for m concurrent updates
    the communication per\r\nuser is log(n), i.e., independent of m). The main downside
    of CoCoA\r\nis that in groups of size n, users might have to do up to log(n) update\r\nrequests
    to the server to ensure their (potentially corrupted) key material has been refreshed.\r\nIn
    this work we present a “fast healing” concurrent CGKA protocol,\r\nnamed DeCAF,
    where users will heal after at most log(t) requests, with\r\nt being the number
    of corrupted users. While also suitable for the standard central-server setting,
    our protocol is particularly interesting for\r\nrealizing decentralized group
    messaging, where protocol messages (add,\r\nremove, update) are being posted on
    some append-only data structure\r\nrather than sent to a server. In this setting,
    concurrency is crucial once\r\nthe rate of requests exceeds, say, the rate at
    which new blocks are added\r\nto a blockchain.\r\nIn the central-server setting,
    CoCoA (the only alternative with concurrency, sub-linear communication and basic
    post-compromise security)\r\nenjoys much lower download communication. However,
    in the decentralized setting – where there is no server which can craft specific
    messages\r\nfor different users to reduce their download communication – our protocol\r\nsignificantly
    outperforms CoCoA. DeCAF heals in fewer epochs (log(t)\r\nvs. log(n)) while incurring
    a similar per epoch per user communication\r\ncost."

  text: We study the classical problem of verifying programs with respect to formal
    specifications given in the linear temporal logic (LTL). We first present novel
    sound and complete witnesses for LTL verification over imperative programs. Our
    witnesses are applicable to both verification (proving) and refutation (finding
    bugs) settings. We then consider LTL formulas in which atomic propositions can
    be polynomial constraints and turn our focus to polynomial arithmetic programs,
    i.e. programs in which every assignment and guard consists only of polynomial
    expressions. For this setting, we provide an efficient algorithm to automatically
    synthesize such LTL witnesses. Our synthesis procedure is both sound and semi-complete.
    Finally, we present experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of our
    approach and that it can handle programs which were beyond the reach of previous
    state-of-the-art tools.

  text: Partially Specified Boolean Networks (PSBNs) represent a family of Boolean
    models resulting from possible interpretations of unknown update logics. Hybrid
    extension of CTL (HCTL) has the power to express complex dynamical phenomena,
    such as oscillations or stability. We present BNClassifier to classify Boolean
    Networks corresponding to a given PSBN according to criteria specified in HCTL.
    The implementation of the tool is fully symbolic (based on BDDs). The results
    are visualised using the machine-learning-based technology of decision trees.

  text: In the context of in vitro fertilization (IVF), selecting embryos for transfer
    is critical in determining pregnancy outcomes, with implantation as the essential
    first milestone for a successful pregnancy. This study introduces the Bonna algorithm,
    an advanced deep-learning framework engineered to predict embryo implantation
    probabilities. The algorithm employs a sophisticated integration of machine-learning
    techniques, utilizing MobileNetV2 for pixel and context embedding, a custom Pix2Pix
    model for precise segmentation, and a Vision Transformer for additional depth
    in embedding. MobileNetV2 was chosen for its robust feature extraction capabilities,
    focusing on textures and edges. The custom Pix2Pix model is adapted for precise
    segmentation of significant biological features such as the zona pellucida and
    blastocyst cavity. The Vision Transformer adds a global perspective, capturing
    complex patterns not apparent in local image segments. Tested on a dataset of
    images of human blastocysts collected from Ukraine, Israel, and Spain, the Bonna
    algorithm was rigorously validated through 10-fold cross-validation to ensure
    its robustness and reliability. It demonstrates superior performance with a mean
    area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.754, significantly
    outperforming existing models. The study not only advances predictive accuracy
    in embryo selection but also highlights the algorithm’s clinical applicability
    due to reliable confidence reporting.

  text: Safety and liveness are elementary concepts of computation, and the foundation
    of many verification paradigms. The safety-liveness classification of boolean
    properties characterizes whether a given property can be falsified by observing
    a finite prefix of an infinite computation trace (always for safety, never for
    liveness). In quantitative specification and verification, properties assign not
    truth values, but quantitative values to infinite traces (e.g., a cost, or the
    distance to a boolean property). We introduce quantitative safety and liveness,
    and we prove that our definitions induce conservative quantitative generalizations
    of both (1)~the safety-progress hierarchy of boolean properties and (2)~the safety-liveness
    decomposition of boolean properties. In particular, we show that every quantitative
    property can be written as the pointwise minimum of a quantitative safety property
    and a quantitative liveness property. Consequently, like boolean properties, also
    quantitative properties can be min-decomposed into safety and liveness parts,
    or alternatively, max-decomposed into co-safety and co-liveness parts. Moreover,
    quantitative properties can be approximated naturally. We prove that every quantitative
    property that has both safe and co-safe approximations can be monitored arbitrarily
    precisely by a monitor that uses only a finite number of states.

  text: "The main idea behind BUBAAK is to run multiple program analyses in parallel
    and use runtime monitoring and enforcement to observe and control their progress
    in real time. The analyses send information about (un)explored states of the program
    and discovered invariants to a monitor. The monitor processes the received data
    and can force an analysis to stop the search of certain program parts (which have
    already been analyzed by other analyses), or to make it utilize a program invariant
    found by another analysis.\r\nAt SV-COMP  2023, the implementation of data exchange
    between the monitor and the analyses was not yet completed, which is why BUBAAK
    only ran several analyses in parallel, without any coordination. Still, BUBAAK
    won the meta-category FalsificationOverall and placed very well in several other
    (sub)-categories of the competition."

  text: "As the complexity and criticality of software increase every year, so does
    the importance of run-time monitoring. Third-party monitoring, with limited knowledge
    of the monitored software, and best-effort monitoring, which keeps pace with the
    monitored software, are especially valuable, yet underexplored areas of run-time
    monitoring. Most existing monitoring frameworks do not support their combination
    because they either require access to the monitored code for instrumentation purposes
    or the processing of all observed events, or both.\r\n\r\nWe present a middleware
    framework, VAMOS, for the run-time monitoring of software which is explicitly
    designed to support third-party and best-effort scenarios. The design goals of
    VAMOS are (i) efficiency (keeping pace at low overhead), (ii) flexibility (the
    ability to monitor black-box code through a variety of different event channels,
    and the connectability to monitors written in different specification languages),
    and (iii) ease-of-use. To achieve its goals, VAMOS combines aspects of event broker
    and event recognition systems with aspects of stream processing systems.\r\nWe
    implemented a prototype toolchain for VAMOS and conducted experiments including
    a case study of monitoring for data races. The results indicate that VAMOS enables
    writing useful yet efficient monitors, is compatible with a variety of event sources
    and monitor specifications, and simplifies key aspects of setting up a monitoring
    system from scratch."

  text: A classical problem for Markov chains is determining their stationary (or
    steady-state) distribution. This problem has an equally classical solution based
    on eigenvectors and linear equation systems. However, this approach does not scale
    to large instances, and iterative solutions are desirable. It turns out that a
    naive approach, as used by current model checkers, may yield completely wrong
    results. We present a new approach, which utilizes recent advances in partial
    exploration and mean payoff computation to obtain a correct, converging approximation.

  text: "We automatically compute a new class of environment assumptions in two-player
    turn-based finite graph games which characterize an “adequate cooperation” needed
    from the environment to allow the system player to win. Given an ω-regular winning
    condition Φ for the system player, we compute an ω-regular assumption Ψ for the
    environment player, such that (i) every environment strategy compliant with Ψ
    allows the system to fulfill Φ (sufficiency), (ii) Ψ\r\n can be fulfilled by the
    environment for every strategy of the system (implementability), and (iii) Ψ does
    not prevent any cooperative strategy choice (permissiveness).\r\nFor parity games,
    which are canonical representations of ω-regular games, we present a polynomial-time
    algorithm for the symbolic computation of adequately permissive assumptions and
    show that our algorithm runs faster and produces better assumptions than existing
    approaches—both theoretically and empirically. To the best of our knowledge, for
    ω\r\n-regular games, we provide the first algorithm to compute sufficient and
    implementable environment assumptions that are also permissive."
