A mix network by Wikstrom fails in correctness, provable privacy and soundness. Its claimed advantages in security and efficiency are compromised. The analysis in this paper illustrates that although the first two failures may be fixed by…
In this paper, a new variant of ElGamal signature scheme is presented and its security analyzed. We also give, for its theoretical interest, a general form of the signature equation.
Among the many possible approaches for the parallelization of self-organizing networks, and in particular of growing self-organizing networks, perhaps the most common one is producing an optimized, parallel implementation of the standard…
When deploying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in public environments it may become necessary to secure their data storage and transmission against possible attacks such as node-compromise and eavesdropping. The nodes feature only small…
With the emergence of privacy leaks in federated learning, secure aggregation protocols that mainly adopt either homomorphic encryption or threshold secret sharing have been widely developed for federated learning to protect the privacy of…
We study the question of how to shuffle $n$ cards when faced with an opponent who knows the initial position of all the cards {\em and} can track every card when permuted, {\em except} when one takes $K< n$ cards at a time and shuffles them…
We introduce the notion of \emph{traceable mixnets}. In a traditional mixnet, multiple mix-servers jointly permute and decrypt a list of ciphertexts to produce a list of plaintexts, along with a proof of correctness, such that the…
The standard implementation of the conjugate gradient algorithm suffers from communication bottlenecks on parallel architectures, due primarily to the two global reductions required every iteration. In this paper, we study conjugate…
We reconsider a recently published algorithm (Dalkilic et al.) for merging lists by way of the perfect shuffle. The original publication gave only experimental results which, although consistent with linear execution time on the samples…
We initiate the provable related-key security treatment for models of practical Feistel ciphers. In detail, we consider Feistel networks with four whitening keys $w_i(k)$ ($i=0,1,2,3$) and round-functions of the form $f(\gamma_i(k)\oplus…
Randomized parallel algorithms for many fundamental problems achieve optimal linear work in expectation, but upgrading this guarantee to hold with high probability (whp) remains a recurring theoretical challenge. In this paper, we address…
Sorting algorithms have attracted a great deal of attention and study, as they have numerous applications to Mathematics, Computer Science and related fields. In this thesis, we first deal with the mathematical analysis of the Quicksort…
This paper establishes a bridge between linear logic and mainstream graph theory, building on previous work by Retor\'e (2003). We show that the problem of correctness for MLL+Mix proof nets is equivalent to the problem of uniqueness of a…
Linear-time algorithms that are traditionally used to shuffle data on CPUs, such as the method of Fisher-Yates, are not well suited to implementation on GPUs due to inherent sequential dependencies, and existing parallel shuffling…
Akleylek et al. [S. Akleylek, L. Emmungil and U. Nuriyev, A mod ified algorithm for peer-to-peer security, journal of Appl. Comput. Math., vol. 6(2), pp.258-264, 2007.], introduced a modified public-key encryption scheme with steganographic…
Aggregate signatures allow anyone to combine different signatures signed by different signers on different messages into a single short signature. An ideal aggregate signature scheme is an identity-based aggregate signature (IBAS) scheme…
We show that many classical optimization problems --- such as $(1\pm\epsilon)$-approximate maximum flow, shortest path, and transshipment --- can be computed in $\newcommand{\tmix}{{\tau_{\text{mix}}}}\tmix(G)\cdot n^{o(1)}$ rounds of…
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is a symmetric block cipher which operates on a sequence of blocks each consists of 128, 192 or 256 bits. Moreover, the cipher key for the AES algorithm is a sequence of 128, 192 or 256 bits.…
Proximal operators are of particular interest in optimization problems dealing with non-smooth objectives because in many practical cases they lead to optimization algorithms whose updates can be computed in closed form or very efficiently.…
We highlight a striking difference in behavior between two widely used variants of coordinate ascent variational inference: the sequential and parallel algorithms. While such differences were known in the numerical analysis literature in…
