This work introduces new bounds on the clique number of graphs derived from a result due to S´os and Straus, which generalizes the Motzkin-Straus Theorem to a specific class of h...
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...
