A Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity poster uses real TLS traffic data and system dependency maps to turn cryptographic discovery into a staged post-quantum migration plan.
UNB Poster Weighs the Privacy Cost of Federated-Learning Aggregation
Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity research pits PRG masking against RLWE homomorphic encoding for secure aggregation, finding post-quantum resilience and an 8x local encoding speedup — plus a client-side privacy trade-off.
UNB Researchers Deploy Collaborative AI Agents to Guard Power-Substation Networks
A Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity poster pairs specialized AI agents that read structure, semantics, and behaviour to catch anomalies in IEC 61850 substation traffic that single detectors miss.
