All-or-nothing transforms (AONT) were proposed by Rivest as a message preprocessing technique for encrypting data to protect against brute-force attacks, and have numerous applications in cryptography and information security. Later the…
We continue a study of unconditionally secure all-or-nothing transforms (AONT) begun in \cite{St}. An AONT is a bijective mapping that constructs s outputs from s inputs. We consider the security of t inputs, when s-t outputs are known.…
In this paper, we initiate a study of asymmetric all-or-nothing transforms (or asymmetric AONTs). A (symmetric) $t$-all-or-nothing transform is a bijective mapping defined on the set of $s$-tuples over a specified finite alphabet. It is…
A $(t, s, v)$-all-or-nothing transform is a bijective mapping defined on $s$-tuples over an alphabet of size $v$, which satisfies the condition that the values of any $t$ input co-ordinates are completely undetermined, given only the values…
All-or-nothing transforms (AONTs) were originally defined by Rivest as bijections from $s$ input blocks to $s$ output blocks such that no information can be obtained about any input block in the absence of any output block. Numerous…
A $(t,s,v)$-all-or-nothing transform (AONT) is a bijective mapping defined on $s$-tuples over an alphabet of size $v$, which satisfies that if any $s-t$ of the $s$ outputs are given, then the values of any $t$ inputs are completely…
Ensuring Network-on-Chip (NoC) security is crucial to design trustworthy NoC-based System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. While there are various threats that exploit on-chip communication vulnerabilities, eavesdropping attacks via malicious…

In this report, we introduce PE-AONT: a novel algorithm for fast and secure data fragmentation. Initial data are fragmented and only a selected subset of the fragments is encrypted. Further, fragments are transformed using a variation of an…

We show that stand-alone statistically secure random oblivious transfer protocols based on two-party stateless primitives are statistically universally composable. I.e. they are simulatable secure with an unlimited adversary, an unlimited…
The unconditional security of a quantum key distribution protocol is often defined in terms of the accessible information, that is, the maximum mutual information between the distributed key S and the outcome of an optimal measurement on…
Shannon's perfect-secrecy theorem states that a perfect encryption system that yields zero information to the adversary must be a one-time pad (OTP) with the keys randomly generated and never reused. In this work we design the first…
Bounded proofs are convenient to use due to the high degree of automation that exhaustive checking affords. However, they fall short of providing the robust assurances offered by unbounded proofs. We sketch how completeness thresholds serve…
Ontology matching is a core task when creating interoperable and linked open datasets. In this paper, we explore a novel structure-based mapping approach which is based on knowledge graph embeddings: The ontologies to be matched are…

We prove that deciding whether a given input word contains as subsequence every possible permutation of integers $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is coNP-complete. The coNP-completeness holds even when given the guarantee that the input word contains as…
