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...
This paper presents a novel approach to solve the constrained unit commitment problem using Selective Self-Adaptive Ant System (SSAS) for improving search performance by automatic...
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a replication scheme to handle Byzantine faults in transaction processing database systems. The scheme compares ...
