According to the Wagstaff heuristic, the probability that a Mersenne number $M_p = 2^p-1$ is prime mainly depends on the size of the exponent $p$. We investigate whether the secondary arithmetic structure in $p-1$ is linked to noticeable…
Digraphs are generalizations of graphs in which each edge is assigned with a direction or two directions. In this paper, we define discrete Morse functions on digraphs, and prove that the homology of the Morse complex and the path homology…
In this paper, we investigate arithmetical structures on Cartesian product graphs, particularly, ladder graph of the form P2\square Pm and grid graph of the form Pn \square Pm. An arithmetical structure on a finite and connected graph G is…
Cryptographic approaches, such as secure multiparty computation, can be used to compute in a secure manner the function of a distributed graph without centralizing the data of each participant. However, the output of the protocol itself can…
Generalized Discrete Logarithm Problem (GDLP) is an extension of the Discrete Logarithm Problem where the goal is to find $x\in\mathbb{Z}_s$ such $g^x\mod s=y$ for a given $g,y\in\mathbb{Z}_s$. Generalized discrete logarithm is similar but…
We study functional graphs generated by quadratic polynomials over prime fields. We introduce efficient algorithms for methodical computations and provide the values of various direct and cumulative statistical parameters of interest. These…
In the ElGamal signature and encryption schemes, an element $x$ of the underlying group $G = \mathbb{Z}_p^\times = \{1, \ldots, p-1 \}$ for a prime $p$ is also considered as an exponent, for example in $g^x$, where $g$ is a generator of G.…
Let $G_1$ be a cyclic multiplicative group of order $n$. It is known that the Diffie-Hellman problem is random self-reducible in $G_1$ with respect to a fixed generator $g$ if $\phi(n)$ is known. That is, given $g, g^x\in G_1$ and having…
A functional digraph is a finite digraph in which each vertex has a unique out-neighbor. Considered up to isomorphism and endowed with the directed sum and product, functional digraphs form a semigroup that has recently attracted…
Differentially private analysis of graphs is widely used for releasing statistics from sensitive graphs while still preserving user privacy. Most existing algorithms however are in a centralized privacy model, where a trusted data curator…
In this short note, we develop a novel idea of a bilinear cryptosystem using the discrete logarithm problem in matrices. These matrices come from a linear representation of a finite $p$-group of class 2. We discuss an example at the end.
We continue the study of prime graphs of finite groups, also known as Gruenberg-Kegel graphs. The vertices of the prime graph of a finite group are the prime divisors of the group order, and two vertices $p$ and $q$ are connected by an edge…
Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct primes. The \textit{semiprime divisor function graph} denoted by $G_{D(pq)}$, is the graph with vertex set $V(G_{D(pq)})=\{1,p,q,pq\}$ and edge set $E(G_{D(pq)})=\{\{1,p\}, \{1,q\},\{1,pq\},\{p,pq\},\{q,pq\}\}$.…
After a general discussion of group actions, orbifolds, and "weak orbifolds" this note will provide elementary introductions to two basic moduli spaces over the real or complex numbers: First the moduli space of effective divisors with…
Linear codes have diverse applications in secret sharing schemes, secure two-party computation, association schemes, strongly regular graphs, authentication codes and communication. There are a large number of linear codes with few weights…
We consider a problem, which we call secure grouping, of dividing a number of parties into some subsets (groups) in the following manner: Each party has to know the other members of his/her group, while he/she may not know anything about…
Motivated by growing concerns over ensuring privacy on social networks, we develop new algorithms and impossibility results for fitting complex statistical models to network data subject to rigorous privacy guarantees. We consider the…
The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, two distinct vertices joined if they commute. Our purpose in this paper is twofold: we discuss the computational problem of deciding whether a given…
The ElGamal cryptosystem is the most widely used public key cryptosystem. It uses the discrete logarithm problem as the cryptographic primitive. The MOR cryptosystem is a similar cryptosystem. It uses the discrete logarithm problem in the…
The guessing number of a directed graph (digraph), equivalent to the entropy of that digraph, was introduced as a direct criterion on the solvability of a network coding instance. This paper makes two contributions on the guessing number.…
