The preprint maps how false channel-state information could alter power allocation, user ranking, decoding, fairness and secrecy in power-domain NOMA. It offers a qualitative threat taxonomy and impact analysis, but reports no empirical sample or dataset and does not quantify the resulting harm.

A methods evaluation found that Kestrel identified ML-KEM and ML-DSA table patterns across tested build transformations and detected no false positives in 6,224 stock-system binaries. The evaluation also found that the tested runtime-generated and XOR-rewritten constructions evaded the static scan.

A preprint describes a document-signing protocol designed to let two people exchange co-signatures over a one-way visual link, while an offline verifier checks both signatures and the signed digests carrying hardware-attestation data. Its guarantees are formal and conditional, not evidence from a deployment or independent audit.

Controlled tests recovered complete values at FPGA register and BRAM boundaries, while algebraic methods resolved missing bits in many tested cases. The work stops short of showing end-to-end extraction from a deployed LLM.
