We study the question of basing symmetric key cryptography on weak secrets. In this setting, Alice and Bob share an n-bit secret W, which might not be uniformly random, but the ad...
It has been observed that the degrees of the topologies of several communication networks follow heavy tailed statistics. What is the impact of such heavy tailed statistics on the...
Levin introduced an average-case complexity measure, based on a notion of \polynomialon average," and de ned \average-case polynomial-time many-one reducibility" amongra...
A fundamental problem in distributed computation is the distributed evaluation of functions. The goal is to determine the value of a function over a set of distributed inputs, in ...
There is growing public concern about personal data collected by both private and public sectors. People have very little control over what kinds of data are stored and how such da...
