In this paper, we improve the cube attack by exploiting low-degree factors of the superpoly w.r.t. certain "special" index set of cube (ISoC). This can be viewed as a special case of the correlation cube attack proposed at Eurocrypt 2018,…

We consider fuzzy, or continuous, bits, which take values in [0;1] and (-1;1] instead of {0;1}, and operations on them (NOT, XOR etc.) and on their sequences (ADD), to obtain the generalization of cryptographic hash functions, CHFs, for the…

In quantum computing the decoherence time of the qubits determines the computation time available and this time is very limited when using current hardware. In this paper we minimize the execution time (the depth) for a class of circuits…

Perfect hash functions can potentially be used to compress data in connection with a variety of data management tasks. Though there has been considerable work on how to construct good perfect hash functions, there is a gap between theory…
