Let C be a class of probability distributions over a finite set . A function D : {0, 1}m is a disperser for C with entropy threshold k and error if for any distribution X in C s...
An affine disperser over Fn 2 for sources of dimension d is a function f : Fn 2 F2 such that for any affine space S Fn 2 of dimension at least d, we have {f(s) : s S} = F2. Aff...
Abstract. The security of iterated hash functions relies on the properties of underlying compression functions. We study highly efficient compression functions based on block ciphe...
In this work we investigate the behavior of the minimal rate needed in order to guarantee a given probability that the distortion exceeds a prescribed threshold, at some fixed ...
—In this paper we estimate the end-to-end total bandwidth (BW) and available bandwidth (ABW) of a path between a pair of nodes in an IEEE 802.11b ad hoc network, both as function...
