We present a new characterization of semi-bent and bent quadratic functions on finite fields. First, we determine when a GF(2)-linear combination of Gold functions Tr(x2i +1 ) is ...
The best practical algorithm for class group computations in imaginary quadratic number fields (such as group structure, class number, discrete logarithm computations) is a varian...
Graphical models are fundamental tools for modeling images and other applications. In this paper, we propose the Logistic Random Field (LRF) model for representing a discrete-valu...

Assuring information authenticity is an important issue in the field of information security. A new broadcast authentication protocol is proposed. The protocol is based on time sy...
We give estimates for exponential sums over finite fields in several variables. We study the case where the phase is either quadratic or more generally invariant under the action ...
