Abstract. RC4, a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security Inc., has found several commercial applications, but little public analysis has been done to date. In this p...
Abstract. A simple one-way function along with its proposed application in symmetric cryptography is described. The function is computable with three elementary operations on permu...
Recent research in sensor networks has raised issues of security for small embedded devices. Security concerns are motivated by the deployment of a large number of sensory devices...
The paper elaborates upon the interim results achieved in resolving a few newly discovered 16th century letters now alleged to be written by Queen Mary of Scots (QMS). Despite the...
