We describe the design of Yarrow, a family of cryptographic pseudo-random number generators (PRNG). We describe the concept of a PRNG as a separate cryptographic primitive, and the...
Abstract. This paper reconsiders the established Merkle-Damg˚ard design principle for iterated hash functions. The internal state size w of an iterated n-bit hash function is trea...
This paper shows how suitable choice of cost function can significantly affect the power of optimisation methods for the synthesising of Boolean functions. In particular we show ...
This paper presents a methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design. The methodology is general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehe...
