Abstract

The growing prevalence of cyber threats and attacks poses significant risks to the security of personal data and the integrity of sensitive information worldwide. Cryptography plays a vital role in establishing strong cybersecurity defenses, and the development of robust cryptographic algorithms is essential for protecting data against cyber-attacks. This workshop aimed to enhance participants’ understanding of the mathematical foundations of cryptographic algorithms and equip them with practical skills to identify and mitigate cyber threats. It also introduced innovative educational tools, including an Augmented Reality (AR) application for teaching classical cryptography and a Game-Based URL Phishing Education application. A total of 110 participants attended and completed the pre-test. The post-test measured knowledge gained during the workshop, and an accompanying survey gathered feedback on its effectiveness and identified areas for improvement. Overall, the workshop successfully achieved its objectives by educating participants on cryptography in the Internet of Things (IoT), increasing awareness of social engineering, introducing cryptographic tools from ancient to modern times, and exploring the principles of quantum cryptography.

Abstract

his study investigates the application of \emph{risk-sensitive reinforcement learning} on heavy-tailed return series by comparing two primary algorithms: REINFORCE with baseline (REINFORCE-BL) and episodic batched actor--critic (A2C-B). Initial exploratory analysis reveals an asymmetric return distribution with numerous extreme \emph{outliers}, rendering variance-based risk measures inadequate and motivating the integration of tail-based risk measures—specifically Value at Risk (VaR), Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), and Entropic Value at Risk (EVaR)—into the RL objective function. This study constructs a simple portfolio environment with discrete actions (market entry, market exit, and \emph{hold}) and trains both algorithms under four scenarios: risk-neutral, VaR, CVaR, and EVaR. Experimental results demonstrate that A2C-B consistently outperforms REINFORCE-BL across all scenarios, exhibiting higher average long-term rewards, faster convergence rates, and more stable \emph{learning curves}. While VaR and CVaR penalties significantly reduce rewards and increase learning volatility for REINFORCE-BL, A2C-B experiences only moderate reward reductions while maintaining stability. In the EVaR scenario, both algorithms yield high rewards, yet A2C-B retains a slight advantage in terms of stability. These findings indicate that in environments with heavy-tailed returns, employing coherent risk measures (particularly CVaR and EVaR) within an actor--critic framework offers a more compelling trade-off between tail risk control and average performance, serving as a viable \emph{baseline} for the development of risk-sensitive RL in finance and actuarial science.
