Abstract. We investigate a general paradigm for constructing arbitraryinput-length (AIL) MACs from fixed-input-length (FIL) MACs, define the waste as the relevant efficiency para...
There is a large gap between the theory and practice for random number generation. For example, on most operating systems, using /dev/random to generate a 256-bit AES key is highl...
Reliable and atomic transactions are a key to successful eBusiness interactions. Reliable messaging subsystems, such as IBM’s MQ Series, or broker-based techniques have been tra...
