Combinatorial auctions have recently attracted the interest of many researchers due to their promising applications such as the spectrum auctions recently held by the FCC. In a com...
In this paper, we present One-key CBC MAC (OMAC) and prove its security for arbitrary length messages. OMAC takes only one key, K (k bits) of a block cipher E. Previously, XCBC req...
We use the notion of covering sequence, introduced by C. Carlet and Y. Tarannikov, to give a simple characterization of bent functions. We extend it into a characterization of plat...
We present our further observations on the structure of the AES algorithm relating to the cyclic properties of the functions used in this cipher. We note that the maximal period of...
In extension of the bit commitment task and following work initiated by Crépeau and Kilian, we introduce and solve the problem of characterising the optimal rate at which a discr...
