Sponge hashing is a widely used class of cryptographic hash algorithms which underlies the current international hash function standard SHA-3. In a nutshell, a sponge function takes as input a bit-stream of any length and processes it via a…
An \omega-grammar is a formal grammar used to generate \omega-words (i.e. infinite length words), while an \omega-automaton is an automaton used to recognize \omega-words. This paper gives clean and uniform definitions for \omega-grammars…
Pseudorandom quantum states (PRS) are efficiently constructible states that are computationally indistinguishable from being Haar-random, and have recently found cryptographic applications. We explore new definitions, new properties and…
We suggest fast algorithm for the matrix generator of pseudorandom numbers based on Kolmogorov-Anosov K systems which has been proposed earlier. This algorithm reduces $N^{2}$ operation of the matrix generator to $NlnN$ and essentially…
The regularity lemma of Szemeredi asserts that one can partition every graph into a bounded number of quasi-random bipartite graphs. In some applications however, one would like to have a strong control on how quasi-random these bipartite…
In the exact quantum query model a successful algorithm must always output the correct function value. We investigate the function that is true if exactly $k$ or $l$ of the $n$ input bits given by an oracle are 1. We find an optimal…
One-way functions are used in modern cryto-systems as doortraps because their inverse functions are supposed to be difficult to compute. Nonetheless with the discovery of reversible computation, it seems that one may break a one-way…
Shannon proved that almost all Boolean functions require a circuit of size $\Theta(2^n/n)$. We prove a quantum analog of this classical result. Unlike in the classical case the number of quantum circuits of any fixed size that we allow is…
Internet communication systems involving cryptography and data hiding often require billions of random numbers. In addition to the speed of the algorithm, the quality of the pseudo-random number generator and the ease of its implementation…
Emergence of stochastic simulations as an extensively used computational tool for scientific purposes intensified the need for more accurate ways of generating sufficiently long sequences of uncorrelated random numbers. Even though several…
We show how to distinguish circuits with $\log k$ negations (a.k.a $k$-monotone functions) from uniformly random functions in $\exp\left(\tilde{O}\left(n^{1/3}k^{2/3}\right)\right)$ time using random samples. The previous best…
We develop a quenched thermodynamic formalism for open random dynamical systems generated by finitely branched, piecewise-monotone mappings of the interval. The openness refers to the presence of holes in the interval, which terminate…
We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are periodic away from a finite set. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially…
Specific vectorial boolean functions, such as S-Boxes or APN functions have many applications, for instance in symmetric ciphers. In cryptography they must satisfy some criteria (balancedness, high nonlinearity, high algebraic degree,…
The main component of (constructive) recognition algorithms for black box groups of Lie type in computational group theory is the construction of unipotent elements. In the existing algorithms unipotent elements are found by random search…
We show that, for almost all N-variable Boolean functions f, at least N/4-O(\sqrt{N} log N) queries are required to compute f in quantum black-box model with bounded error.
A new method for parallel generation of $q$-valued pseudorandom sequence based on the presentation of systems generating logical formulae by means of arithmetic polynomials is proposed. Fragment consisting of $k$-elements of $q$-valued…
Our aim is to construct high order approximation schemes for general semigroups of linear operators $P_{t},t\geq 0$. In order to do it, we fix a time horizon $T $ and the discretization steps $h_{l}=\frac{T}{n^{l}},l\in \mathbb{N}$ and we…
The quantum query complexity of evaluating any read-once formula with n black-box input bits is Theta(sqrt(n)). However, the corresponding problem for read-many formulas (i.e., formulas in which the inputs have fanout) is not well…
In a recent article by Chapuy and Perarnau, it was shown that a uniformly chosen automaton on $n$ states with a $2$-letter alphabet has a synchronizing word of length $O(\sqrt{n}\log n)$ with high probability. In this note, we improve this…
