A day and night train interior design for improved passenger comfort and improved train usage

This project explores the prospects for interior design in a dual purpose train that can run both day and night for improved utilization and comfort.<br/><br/>Contemporary trains are categorized as either exclusively for daytime or nighttime use. Their interiors limit them to specific temporal contexts. For instance, in daytime trains,...

Optimised Private Set Intersection for Vertical Federated Tree Models

In recent years, the rapid advancements in big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have led to a corresponding rise in privacy concerns. One of the solutions to address these concerns is federated learning. In this thesis, we will look at the setting of vertical federated learning based on tree models. We have built a system that...

Health data sharing for clinical research : Designing a patient-centric approach

The use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has seen a breakthrough in clinical research for personalized treatments (Hamburg &amp; Collins, 2010.) Despite the potential advantages of vast EHR data available, constraints of privacy and legislation hinder its use (Rieke et al., 2020.) Health data exists in an interconnected healthcare system ...

Completely FROST-ed: IoT issued FROST signature for Hyperledger Fabric blockchain

Threshold signatures play a crucial role in the security of blockchain applications. An efficient threshold signature can be applied to enhance the security of wallets and transactions by enforcing multi-device-based authentication, as this requires adversaries to compromise more devices to recover the key. Additionally, threshold signatures can...
