zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Local Voice Dictation on MAC for Lawyers
1. Local Voice Dictation on MAC for Lawyers
OS X Mavericks facilitates offline dictation service with live feedback, helping
lawyers improve efficiency and save time on legal transcription
Apple’s dictation service just got a big boost with Internet-free dictation in the OS X
Mavericks. This universal dictation option is proving a great advantage for legal
transcription. The notable challenge with the OS X Mountain Lion version is that the
dictation has to be sent to Apple’s servers for conversion to text. The new version has
brilliantly tackled the issue by making dictation offline. Lawyers just have to dictate into
their computer’s microphone and the words appear on the screen – something that is not
possible with the Web-based method. In other words, dictation just got ‘enhanced'.
How OS X Mavericks Outsmarts OS X Mountain Lion
When Apple came out with OS X Mountain Lion in 2012, lawyers were at first quite happy.
Their efficiency greatly improved when a lot of time was saved with quick entry of data
into the system. However, with Mountain Lion, the dictated information is sent to an Apple
server for processing before it available as text. There were limits, and as you had to
pause to let the data reach Apple and return. The conversion of long paragraphs is difficult
and dictation had to be limited to just a few sentences at a time. Transcribing complex
court proceedings and legal documents can be quite challenging with Mountain Lion.
The latest version, OS X Mavericks, brilliantly resolves these issues with ‘enhanced
dictation’. It works smoothly without the need of an Internet connection. Instead of
depending on a server, this speech recognition software is designed to work as a local
service on the MAC. The dictation is converted to text and displayed on the screen in real
time. As the feature supports live processing of speech, lawyers no longer need to limit
the length of the audio. Other capabilities of Mavericks are
•
Enables switching between available languages
•
Customizable dictation trigger (single key press/keystroke)
•
Specific commands such as upper and lower case, paragraphs, line breaks,
special characters
2. The ‘enhanced dictation’ feature enhances the speed of the overall process. The dictation
appears on the screen as the lawyer speaks and live feedback allows them to make
necessary corrections immediately, improving their efficiency. Lawyers can carry out their
documentation tasks anywhere, even where there is no Internet connectivity. Apple has
also included several security and performance updates for greater safety and smooth
operation.
Simple Steps to Enable Enhanced Dictation on MAC
Just a few simple steps can enable offline dictation service with live feedback on the
system:
3. •
Visit the menu section
•
Tap open the “System Preferences”
•
Go to the “Dictation & Speech” control panel
•
Check the box for “Use Enhanced Dictation”
To complete the process and make the service local, you will have to perform the
download of a specified file on the screen. The size of the download may differ depending
on the selected language.
Using Live Speech-to-Text Feature
As with normal dictation, you can now start the offline dictation process by double hitting
the “fn” key. A microphone icon is displayed to show that it is ready to accept the input.
Just speak the required data into the microphone which is entered ‘live’ in the respective
text fields. The machine recognizes pauses and prolonged pauses which are entered as
4. punctuation, commas and periods. Lawyers have the flexibility to easily specify any
commands in between such as a special character, return or a line break.
Expected Improvements with “Enhanced Dictation”
Even with all the advantages offered by the continuous and live dictation feature, users
are expecting further improvements. It is hoped that edits and corrections of the entered
content will become even quicker. They hope that the software could learn from repeated
corrections and perform them automatically in the future. Integrating conventional legal
transcription services with the solutions offered by advanced speech recognition
technology can help improve efficiency and accuracy.
