Hardware signatures have been recently proposed as an efficient mechanism to detect conflicts amongst concurrently running transactions in transactional memory systems (e.g., Bulk...
In 1969, Thomas Schelling proposed one of the most cited models in economics to explain how similar people (e.g. people with the same race, education, community) group together in...
In [22] we showed that existing single-server computational private information retrieval (PIR) protocols for the purpose of preserving client access patterns leakage are orders o...
