A locality sensitive hashing scheme is a distribution on a family F of hash functions operating on a collection of objects, such that for two objects x, y, PrhF [h(x) = h(y)] = si...
Interactive hashing, introduced by Naor, Ostrovsky, Venkatesan and Yung (CRYPTO ’92), plays an important role in many cryptographic protocols. In particular, it is a major compo...
A public random function is a random function that is accessible by all parties, including the adversary. For example, a (public) random oracle is a public random function {0, 1}â...
Standard signature schemes are usually designed only to achieve weak unforgeability – i.e. preventing forgery of signatures on new messages not previously signed. However, most s...
The strongest well-known measure for the quality of a universal hash-function family H is its being -strongly universal, which measures, for randomly chosen h H, one's inabi...
