Abstract: Although it is widely deemed impossible to overcome the information theoretic optimality of the one-time pad (OTP) cipher in pre-and post-quantum cryptography, this work shows that the ...
[2026/03/11] 😮 We propose Asymmetric Extreme Image Compression (AEIC), an improved version of StableCodec exploring the feasibility of applying shallow encoders for ultra-low bitrate image ...
Abstract: Diffusion-based image compression methods have achieved notable progress, delivering high perceptual quality at low bitrates. However, their practical deployment is hindered by significant ...
