In this paper, a CAPTCHA is presented based on the masking characteristics of the Human Visual System (HVS). Knowing that noise can be masked by high activity regions and showing ...
Ordinarily, RSA and Rabin ciphertexts and signatures are log N bits, where N is a composite modulus; here, we describe how to “compress” Rabin ciphertexts and signatures (among...
Abstract. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are population-based randomized optimizers often solving problems quite successfully. Here, the focus is on the possible effects of changin...
Concentration inequalities deal with deviations of functions of independent random variables from their expectation. In the last decade new tools have been introduced making it pos...
Protocols for distributed systems make often use of random transitions to achieve a common goal. A popular example are randomized leader election protocols. We introduce probabilis...
