Abstract. We consider the central cryptographic task of secure twoparty computation, where two parties wish to compute some function of their private inputs (each receiving possibl...
We propose an improved restart strategy for randomized backtrack search, and evaluate its performance by comparing to other heuristic and stochastic search techniques for solving r...
In this short paper we examine the integration of three emerging trends in Information Technology (Utility Computing, Grid Computing, and Web Services) into a new Computing paradig...
