Delay Encryption (often called Timed-Release Encryption) is a scheme in which a message is sent into the future by ensuring its confidentiality only for a given amount of time. We propose a new scheme based on a novel time-lock puzzle. This…

The root extraction problem in braid groups is the following: given a braid $\beta \in \mathcal{B}_n$ and a number $k\in \mathbb{N}$, find $\alpha\in \mathcal{B}_n$ such that $\alpha^k=\beta$. In the last decades, many cryptosystems such as…
In 2010, A. Shpilka and I. Volkovich established a prominent result on the equivalence of polynomial factorization and identity testing. It follows from their result that a multilinear polynomial over the finite field of order 2 can be…
We consider a learning-augmented framework for NP-hard permutation problems. The algorithm has access to predictions telling, given a pair $u,v$ of elements, whether $u$ is before $v$ or not in an optimal solution. Building on the work of…
