So far, unconditional security in key distribution processes has been confined to quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols based on the no-cloning theorem of nonorthogonal bases. Recently, a completely different approach, the unconditionally secured classical key distribution (USCKD), has been proposed for unconditional security in the purely classical regime. Unlike QKD, both classical channels and orthogonal bases are key ingredients in USCKD, where unconditional security is provided by deterministic randomness via path superposition-based reversible unitary transformations in a coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Here, the first experimental demonstration of the USCKD protocol is presented.

Article Synopsis
- Quantum conference key agreement (QCKA) allows secure sharing of conference keys among several participants, but current methods using entangled photons face limitations in key rate and scalability due to practical challenges.
- The proposed source-independent QCKA utilizes the post-matching method, which can work within existing entangled photon distribution networks, ensuring unconditional security even against sophisticated attacks.
- By improving the conference key rate from O(η) in previous protocols, the new approach shows significant advantages in performance over long distances, suggesting promising applications for future quantum networks.
Strengthening Community Responses to Economic vulnerability (SeCuRE): a protocol of an HIV status-neutral pilot randomized clinical trial with transgender women of color in Detroit, Michigan.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
November 2024
Duke University School of Nursing, Durham, NC, USA.
Background: In the United States (US), transgender women of color experience cyclical, interlocking systems of structural and institutional oppression rooted in racism and transphobia, which fuel economic vulnerability. Together, cycles of intersecting racism, transphobia, and economic vulnerability create conditions that give rise to extreme HIV inequities among transgender women of color. Microeconomic interventions - designed to improve financial standing by increasing income generation and access to financial resources through entrepreneurship, cash transfers, and training - have the potential to address structural factors underlying HIV inequities.

The Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) is one of the most popular techniques among the applications of Internet of Things. The existing IoVs are mainly protected by public key cryptographic systems, which provide identity authentication and information security. Nevertheless, using the proposed Shor's algorithm, the security of all classical cryptographic schemes will be exposed to future quantum computer technologies.

BMC Cancer
September 2024
Cancer Research Center, Cancer Institute, Tehran University of Medical Science, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) and the risk of lung cancer (LC) in an Iranian population.
- Researchers conducted interviews and dietary assessments with over 600 lung cancer patients and 3,400 healthy controls across 10 provinces in Iran.
- Results show that higher dTAC, measured by FRAP and TRAP scores, correlates with a lower risk of lung cancer, with consistent findings across different demographic and lifestyle groups.
Early Disease-Modifying Treatments for Presymptomatic Multiple Sclerosis.

Department of Neurology, MS Clinic Nice, Pasteur 2 University Hospital, UR2CA-URRIS, Côte d'Azur University, Nice, France.
Radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) is the earliest stage in the disease continuum of multiple sclerosis (MS). RIS is discovered incidentally in individuals who are asymptomatic but have typical lesions in the brain and/or spinal cord suggestive of demyelination. The 2009 and revised 2023 RIS criteria were developed for diagnosis.
