This discussion paper explores the problems of operating systems support when implementing concurrency controls at the level of the instruction set in processors designed for mult...
We revisit the definitions of zero-knowledge in the Common Reference String (CRS) model and the Random Oracle (RO) model. We argue that even though these definitions syntacticall...
We build concurrently executable blind signatures schemes in the common reference string model, based on general complexity assumptions, and with optimal round complexity. Namely, ...
Abstract. In order to make multithreaded programming manageable, programmers often follow a design principle where they break the problem into tasks which are then solved asynchron...
Conversations are a useful means of structuring communicative interactions among agents. The value of a conversation-based approach is largely determined by the conversational mod...
