Cross-Entropy method: convergence issues for extended implementation
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...

Entropic Security and the Encryption of High Entropy Messages
Russell and Wang [22] recently introduced an elegant, information-theoretic notion called entropic security of encryption: they required that the cipher text leak no predicate of ...
