This paper reveals a duality between constructions of two basic cryptographic primitives, pseudo-random string generators and one-way hash functions. Applying the duality, we pres...
The Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) is a stochastic, discrete-event simulation that relies on probabilities and random number generators to model scenarios in a maintenance unit ...
We consider (uniform) reductions from computing a function f to the task of distinguishing the output of some pseudorandom generator G from uniform. Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW]...
Abstract Besides equidistribution properties and statistical independence the lattice profile, a generalized version of Marsaglia's lattice test, provides another quality meas...
In this paper a three-parameter bifurcation analysis of a piecewise-affine map is carried out. Such a map derives from a well-known map which has good features from its circuit im...
