Reliably Executing Tasks in the Presence of Untrusted Entities
In this work we consider a distributed system formed by a master processor and a collection of n processors (workers) that can execute tasks; worker processors are untrusted and m...

Expected loss bounds for authentication in constrained channels
We derive bounds on the expected loss for authentication protocols in channels which are constrained due to noisy conditions and communication costs. This is motivated by a numbe...

Efficient simulation for discrete path-dependent option pricing
In this paper we present an algorithm for simulating functions of the minimum and terminal value for a random walk with Gaussian increments. These expectations arise in connection...
