We consider the problem of basing Oblivious Transfer (OT) and Bit Commitment (BC), with information theoretic security, on seemingly weaker primitives. We introduce a general model...
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and its variant, Transport Layer Security (TLS), are used toward ensuring server security. In this paper, we characterize the cryptographic strength ...
In this paper, we study a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach to preference aggregation and voting when the set of alternatives has a multi-issue structure, and the voter...
Background: The precision of transcriptional regulation is made possible by the specificity of physical interactions between transcription factors and their cognate binding sites ...

There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
