New preprints detail processor security tool and federated learning efficiency

A new preprint on arXiv introduces Malcostume, a tool designed to automatically extract leakage contracts from black-box x86 and ARM processors. Separately, another unreviewed preprint proposes a novel two-layer secret sharing protocol for federated learning, which significantly reduces communication overhead by 100x with a large number of users and eliminates server data forwarding. AI

RANK_REASON The cluster contains two distinct research preprints, one on processor security and another on federated learning efficiency.
