Abstract. We establish a framework for bounding the efficiency of cryptographic reductions in terms of their security transfer. While efficiency bounds for the reductions have been...
We consider graphical games in which edges are zero-sum games between the endpoints/players; the payoff of a player is the sum of the payoffs from each incident edge. We give a 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...
This paper addresses the problem of test response compaction. In order to maximize compaction ratio, a single-output encoder based on check matrix of a (n, n1, m, 3) convolutional...
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...
