OMAC, TMAC and XCBC are CBC-type MAC schemes which are provably secure for arbitrary message length. In this paper, we present a more tight upper bound on Advmac for each scheme, w...
The problem of converting deterministic finite automata into (short) regular expressions is considered. It is known that the required expression size is 2(n) in the worst case for ...
We show that any 1-round 2-server Private Information Retrieval Protocol where the answers are 1-bit long must ask questions that are at least n - 2 bits long, which is nearly equa...
Using recent progress on moment problems, and their connections with semidefinite optimization, we present in this paper a new methodology based on semidefinite optimization, to ob...
The cumulative distribution function (cdf) of a sum of correlated or even independent lognormal random variables (RVs), which is of wide interest in wireless communications, remain...
