We prove that for a number field $F$, the distribution of the points of a set $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{A}_F^n$ with a purely exponential parametrization, for example a set of matrices boundedly generated by semi-simple (diagonalizable)…

We define minimal fusion systems in a way that every non-solvable fusion system has a section which is minimal. Minimal fusion systems can also be seen as analogs of Thompson's N-groups. In this paper, we consider a minimal fusion system…

The Number Field Sieve (NFS) algorithm is the best known method to compute discrete logarithms (DL) in finite fields $\mathbb{F}\_{p^n}$, with $p$ medium to large and $n \geq 1$ small. This algorithm comprises four steps: polynomial…

Let K be a number field with ring of integers O, and let G be a finite-index subgroup of SL(n,O). Using a classical construction from the geometry of numbers and the theory of modular symbols, we exhibit a finite spanning set for the…

This work aims to improve the practicality of gadget-based cryptosystems, with a focus on hash-and-sign signatures. To this end, we develop a compact gadget framework in which the used gadget is a square matrix instead of the short and fat…

This work presents a new variation of the commonly used Least Mean Squares Algorithm (LMS) for the identification of sparse signals with an a-priori known sparsity using a hard threshold operator in every iteration. It examines some useful…

We propose variations of the class of hidden monomial cryptosystems in order to make it resistant to all known attacks. We use identities built upon a single bivariate polynomial equation with coefficients in a finite field. Indeed, it can…

Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) can provide genuine randomness based on the inherent unpredictable nature of quantum physics. The extracted randomness relies not only on the physical parts of the QRNG, such as the entropy source…

We give an arithmetic criterion which is sufficient to imply the discreteness of various two-generator subgroups of $PSL(2,{\bold C})$. We then examine certain two-generator groups which arise as extremals in various geometric problems in…

Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_1g)\cdot...\cdot(n_kg)$ where $g\in G$ and $n_1,\cdots,n_k\in[1,{\hbox{\rm ord}}(g)]$, and the index $\ind S$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum…

We study when low coordinate degree functions (LCDF) -- linear combinations of functions depending on small subsets of entries of a vector -- can test for the presence of categorical structure, including community structure and…

Partial Least Squares (PLS) methods have been heavily exploited to analyse the association between two blocs of data. These powerful approaches can be applied to data sets where the number of variables is greater than the number of…

A new scheme of probabilistic subgroup-related encryption is introduced. Some applications of this scheme based on the RSA, Diffie-Hellman and ElGamal encryption algorithms are described. Security assumptions and main advantages of this…

Let C be a finite set of N elements and R = r_1,r_2,..., r_m a family of M subsets of C. A subset X of R verifies the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P) if there exists a permutation P of C such that each r_i in X is an interval of P. A…

We construct three public key knapsack cryptosystems. Standard knapsack cryptosystems hide easy instances of the knapsack problem and have been broken. The systems considered in the article face this problem: They hide a random (possibly…

Stochastic Computing (SC) is an unconventional computing paradigm processing data in the form of random bit-streams. The accuracy and energy efficiency of SC systems highly depend on the stochastic number generator (SNG) unit that converts…

We identify the sporadic simple group $\mathrm{M}_{12}$ and the simple group $\mathrm{SL}_3(3)$ from some part of their 3-local structure and give a graph theoretic analogue of the resulting theorem.

In this paper we discuss generic properties of "random subgroups" of a given group G. It turns out that in many groups G (even in most exotic of them) the random subgroups have a simple algebraic structure and they "sit" inside G in a very…

Minimal linear codes have interesting applications in secret sharing schemes and secure two-party computation. This paper uses characteristic functions of some subsets of $\mathbb{F}_q$ to construct minimal linear codes. By properties of…

In discrete logarithm based cryptography, a method by Pohlig and Hellman allows solving the discrete logarithm problem efficiently if the group order is known and has no large prime factors. The consequence is that such groups are avoided.…
