Structured Variational Key Concentration for a Reduced AES Cipher

Grover search provides the generic quantum baseline for symmetric-key recovery by amplifying a reversible public-verification oracle. We investigate whether public round structure can instead shape a variational key register before exact verification. For simplified AES (S-AES), we construct phase separators from S-box...

Beyond Decision Boundaries: Relational Geometry Attacks on Contrastive Embedding Manifolds

This paper introduces a geometry-aware adversarial attack framework that reformulates attacks on contrastive systems as manifold-level relational corruption, and produces adversarial perturbations through a single forward pass without requiring online gradient computation.
