Cryptographic Boolean functions must be complex to satisfy Shannon's principle of confusion. But the cryptographic viewpoint on complexity is not the same as in circuit compl...
Abstract A Boolean function is called normal if it is constant on flats of certain dimensions. This property is relevant for the construction and analysis of cryptosystems. This p...
We present a schema to build one way functions from a family of Boolean gates. Moreover, we relate characteristics of these Boolean gate truth tables to properties of the derived ...
Abstract. Multi-attribute negotiation has been extensively studied from a gametheoretic viewpoint. In negotiation settings, utility functions are used to express agent preferences....
The proliferation of all kinds of devices with different security requirements and constraints, and the arms-race nature of the security problem are increasingly demanding the de...
