Probabilistic Bisimulation and Equivalence for Security Analysis of Network Protocols
Abstract. Using a probabilistic polynomial-time process calculus designed for specifying security properties as observational equivalences, we develop a form of bisimulation that j...

Probabilistic Semantics for Cost Based Abduction
Cost-based abduction attempts to find the best explanation for a set of facts by finding a minimal cost proof for the facts. The costs are computed by summing the costs of the ass...

Are PCPs Inherent in Efficient Arguments?
Starting with Kilian (STOC ‘92), several works have shown how to use probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and cryptographic primitives such as collision-resistant hashing to...

On the Equality of Probabilistic Terms
We consider a mild extension of universal algebra in which terms are built both from deterministic and probabilistic variables, and are interpreted as distributions. We formulate a...

Zero knowledge with efficient provers
We prove that every problem in NP that has a zero-knowledge proof also has a zero-knowledge proof where the prover can be implemented in probabilistic polynomial time given an NP ...
