We give an outline of the specification and provable security features of the QUAD stream cipher proposed at Eurocrypt 2006 [6]. The cipher relies on the iteration of a multivaria...
Abstract--We investigate the problem of maintaining an encoded distributed storage system when some nodes contain adversarial errors. Using the error-correction capabilities that a...

Randomness extractors are important tools in cryptography. Their goal is to compress a high-entropy source into a more uniform output. Beyond their theoretical interest, they have ...
We consider the classical rumor spreading problem, where a piece of information must be disseminated from a single node to all n nodes of a given network. We devise two simple pus...

Medial surfaces are popular representations of 3D objects in vision, graphics and geometric modeling. They capture relevant symmetries and part hierarchies and also allow for deta...
