Quantum key distribution (QKD) 1 , 2 , 3 is a theoretically secure way of sharing secret keys between remote users. It has been demonstrated in a laboratory over a coiled optical fibre up to 404 kilometres long 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 . In the field, point-to-point QKD has been achieved from a satellite to a ground station up to 1,200 kilometres away 8 , 9 , 10 . However, real-world QKD-based cryptography targets physically separated users on the Earth, for which the maximum distance has been about 100 kilometres 11 , 12 . The use of trusted relays can extend these distances from across a typical metropolitan area 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 to intercity 17 and even intercontinental distances 18 . However, relays pose security risks, which can be avoided by using entanglement-based QKD, which has inherent source-independent security 19 , 20 . Long-distance entanglement distribution can be realized using quantum repeaters 21 , but the related technology is still immature for practical implementations 22 . The obvious alternative for extending the range of quantum communication without compromising its security is satellite-based QKD, but so far satellite-based entanglement distribution has not been efficient 23 enough to support QKD. Here we demonstrate entanglement-based QKD between two ground stations separated by 1,120 kilometres at a finite secret-key rate of 0.12 bits per second, without the need for trusted relays. Entangled photon pairs were distributed via two bidirectional downlinks from the Micius satellite to two ground observatories in Delingha and Nanshan in China. The development of a high-efficiency telescope and follow-up optics crucially improved the link efficiency. The generated keys are secure for realistic devices, because our ground receivers were carefully designed to guarantee fair sampling and immunity to all known side channels 24 , 25 . Our method not only increases the secure distance on the ground tenfold but also increases the practical security of QKD to an unprecedented level.

Extended Data Fig. 3 The comparison of satellite-to-Delingha link efficiency under the best-orbit condition.
a , After improving the link efficiency with high-efficiency telescopes and follow-up optics, on average, the current work shows a 3-dB enhancement in the collection efficiency over that of ref. 23 . The lines are linear fits to the data. b , Some representative values.
Extended Data Fig. 4 The finite-key secret key rate R versus the QBER.
For the 3,100 s of data collected in our experiment, a QBER of below about 6.0% is required to produce a positive key. The previous work 23 demonstrated a QBER of 8.1%, which is not sufficient to generate a secret key. In this work, a QBER of 4.5% and a secret key rate of 0.12 bits per second are demonstrated over 1,120 km. If one ignores the important finite-key effect, the QBER in ref. 23 is slightly lower than the well known asymptotic limit of 11% (ref. 43 ).
Extended Data Fig. 5 Schematics of the detection and blinding-attack monitoring circuit.
The biased voltage (HV) is applied to an avalanche photodiode through a passive quenching resistance ( R q = 500 kΩ) and a sampling resistance ( R s = 10 kΩ). The avalanche signals are read out as click or no-click events through a signal-discrimination circuit. The blinding signal monitor is shown in the dot-dash diagram. A resistor-capacitor filter and a voltage follower are used to smooth and minimize the impact on the signals. The outputs of an analogue to digital converter (ADC), at a sampling rate of 250 kHz, are registered by computer data acquisition (PC-DAQ). R1, resistor; C1, capacitor; OA, operational amplifier.

Title: stealing part of a production language model.
Abstract: We introduce the first model-stealing attack that extracts precise, nontrivial information from black-box production language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google's PaLM-2. Specifically, our attack recovers the embedding projection layer (up to symmetries) of a transformer model, given typical API access. For under \$20 USD, our attack extracts the entire projection matrix of OpenAI's Ada and Babbage language models. We thereby confirm, for the first time, that these black-box models have a hidden dimension of 1024 and 2048, respectively. We also recover the exact hidden dimension size of the gpt-3.5-turbo model, and estimate it would cost under \$2,000 in queries to recover the entire projection matrix. We conclude with potential defenses and mitigations, and discuss the implications of possible future work that could extend our attack.

"symmetric cryptography," which entails the usage of the same key to encrypt/ decode information; and "asymmetric cryptography," which makes use of public and private keys to encrypt/ decode information. Examples of symmetric algorithms are Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple-DES (3DES), Blowfish, and
Therefore, security is the basic concern that limits the advantages of cloud computing. Cryptography plays a vital role to achieve that level of security required on the cloud. Hybrid cryptography takes the advantage of integrating more than one cryptographic algorithms to enhance the overall security and performance.
One major research branch of Cryptography is Public key ... [Show full abstract] cryptography. In this paper, one of the popular public key cryptography algorithms, RSA with arithmetic functions ...
Cryptography other is Steganography. In this paper we use Cryptography. Cryptography is the science of protecting data, which provides methods of converting data into unreadable form, so that Valid User can access Information at the Destination. Cryptography is the science of using mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data.
Keywords: Cryptography, Key Distribution, Key Management Service, Secret Handling. 1 Introduction The complexity and reliability of any cryptosystem is based on the use of crypto-graphic keys. The key exchange is one of the mechanisms at core of the process and it ensure confidentiality when exchanging information between users and its behaviour is
The paper provides an in-depth overview of cryptography in the quantum era, including a detailed examination of various post-quantum cryptographic approaches such as lattice-based, hash-based ...
Future research needs to explore historical changes in midlife loneliness in other nations that span the income spectrum from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa and investigate similarities and differences to the trends observed here (The Lancet, 2023). Such future inquiry can capitalize on our approach that overcomes

Download PDF Abstract: In this work, we discuss building performant Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). In particular, we study the importance of various architecture components and data choices.
Download PDF Abstract: We introduce the first model-stealing attack that extracts precise, nontrivial information from black-box production language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google's PaLM-2. Specifically, our attack recovers the embedding projection layer (up to symmetries) of a transformer model, given typical API access.
