HMAC was proved in [3] to be a PRF assuming that (1) the underlying compression function is a PRF, and (2) the iterated hash function is weakly collision-resistant. However, recent...
Hardness amplification is the fundamental task of converting a -hard function f : {0, 1}n {0, 1} into a (1/2 - )-hard function Amp(f), where f is -hard if small circuits fail to c...
In this paper we identify the (P, Q)-DDH assumption, as an extreme, powerful generalization of the Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption: virtually all previously proposed gen...
The AND problem on t bits is a promise decision problem where either at most one bit of the input is set to 1 (NO instance) or all t bits are set to 1 (YES instance). In this note...
A Cartesian grid generation methodology is developed for unsteady control volume computational fluid dynamic (CFD) solvers. Arbitrary combinations and numbers of moving and statio...
