This paper reveals a duality between constructions of two basic cryptographic primitives, pseudo-random string generators and one-way hash functions. Applying the duality, we pres...
Several real world applications involve solving combinatorial optimization problems. Commonly, existing heuristic approaches are designed to address specific difficulties of the u...
Abstract. Even and Mansour [EM97] proposed a block cipher construction that takes a publicly computable random permutation oracle P and XORs different keys prior to and after appl...
The design of effective neighborhood structures is fundamentally important for creating better local search and metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Significant...
It is possible to construct a figure in 3 dimensions which is combinatorially equivalent to a regular icosahedron, and whose faces are all congruent but not equilateral. Such icos...
