Abstract. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a new evolutionary computation technique. Although PSO algorithm possesses many attractive properties, the methods of selecting inert...
The use of elliptic curves in cryptography relies on the ability to count the number of points on a given curve. Before 1999, the SEA algorithm was the only efficient method known ...
One of the important applications of digital signature is anonymous credential or pseudonym system. In these scenarios, it is essential that the identity of the signer is kept secr...
—In this paper, we conduct extensive simulations to understand the properties of the overlay generated by BitTorrent. We start by analyzing how the overlay properties impact the ...
The problem of selecting the best system from a finite set of alternatives is considered from a Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective. The framework presented is quite general,...
