We study combinatorial bounds for geometric permutations of balls with bounded size disparity in d-space. Our main contribution is the following theorem: given a set S of n disjoi...
HCTR was proposed by Wang, Feng and Wu in 2005. It is a mode of operation which provides a tweakable strong pseudorandom permutation. Though HCTR is quite an efficient mode, the au...
We develop new coset bounds for algebraic geometric codes. The bounds have a natural interpretation as an adversary threshold for algebraic geometric secret sharing schemes and le...
Abstract. In the late nineties, Erickson proved a remarkable lower bound on the decision tree complexity of one of the central problems of computational geometry: given n numbers, ...
