Lightweight Quantum Agent for Edge Systems: Joint PQC and NOMA Resource Allocation

In the context of quantum secure scenarios, existing research on mobile edge devices and intelligent computing and edge (ICE) systems based on the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) communication model have overlooked the energy consumption overhead of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) modules, and the high complexity of traditional resource allocation algorithms fails to meet the demands of real-time decision-making. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a lightweight agentic AI framework designed for online joint optimization within ICE-enabled mobile devices. The scheme constructs a multi-stage stochastic Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model that incorporates static power-consumption constraints for PQC modules. Based on Lyapunov optimization theory, the long-term optimization problem is decoupled, and a linear complexity algorithm is proposed to solve the nonconvex challenges of NOMA power allocation . Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme significantly improves computational throughput while ensuring system queue stability and energy consumption constraints. Compared with traditional Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithms, the complexity is reduced to $\mathcal{O}(N)$, achieving a speedup of approximately 46 times when the number of devices $N=35$, thereby meeting the real-time decision-making requirements in dynamic wireless environments.

Noise-Aware and Dynamically Adaptive Federated Defense Framework for SAR Image Target Recognition

As a critical application of computational intelligence in remote sensing, deep learning-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image target recognition facilitates intelligent perception but typically relies on centralized training, where multi-source SAR data are uploaded to a single server, raising privacy and security concerns. Federated learning (FL) provides an emerging computational intelligence paradigm for SAR image target recognition, enabling cross-site collaboration while preserving local data privacy. However, FL confronts critical security risks, where malicious clients can exploit SAR's multiplicative speckle noise to conceal backdoor triggers, severely challenging the robustness of the computational intelligence model. To address this challenge, we propose NADAFD, a noise-aware and dynamically adaptive federated defense framework that integrates frequency-domain, spatial-domain, and client-behavior analyses to counter SAR-specific backdoor threats. Specifically, we introduce a frequency-domain collaborative inversion mechanism to expose cross-client spectral inconsistencies indicative of hidden backdoor triggers. We further design a noise-aware adversarial training strategy that embeds $Γ$-distributed speckle characteristics into mask-guided adversarial sample generation to enhance robustness against both backdoor attacks and SAR speckle noise. In addition, we present a dynamic health assessment module that tracks client update behaviors across training rounds and adaptively adjusts aggregation weights to mitigate evolving malicious contributions. Experiments on MSTAR and OpenSARShip datasets demonstrate that NADAFD achieves higher accuracy on clean test samples and a lower backdoor attack success rate on triggered inputs than existing federated backdoor defenses for SAR target recognition.

EViT: Privacy-Preserving Image Retrieval via Encrypted Vision Transformer in Cloud Computing

Image retrieval systems help users to browse and search among extensive images in real-time. With the rise of cloud computing, retrieval tasks are usually outsourced to cloud servers. However, the cloud scenario brings a daunting challenge of privacy protection as cloud servers cannot be fully trusted. To this end, image-encryption-based privacy-preserving image retrieval schemes have been developed, which first extract features from cipher-images, and then build retrieval models based on these features. Yet, most existing approaches extract shallow features and design trivial retrieval models, resulting in insufficient expressiveness for the cipher-images. In this paper, we propose a novel paradigm named Encrypted Vision Transformer (EViT), which advances the discriminative representations capability of cipher-images. First, in order to capture comprehensive ruled information, we extract multi-level local length sequence and global Huffman-code frequency features from the cipher-images which are encrypted by stream cipher during JPEG compression process. Second, we design the Vision Transformer-based retrieval model to couple with the multi-level features, and propose two adaptive data augmentation methods to improve representation power of the retrieval model. Our proposal can be easily adapted to unsupervised and supervised settings via self-supervised contrastive learning manner. Extensive experiments reveal that EViT achieves both excellent encryption and retrieval performance, outperforming current schemes in terms of retrieval accuracy by large margins while protecting image privacy effectively.
