A synthetic indifferentiability analysis of some block-cipher-based hash functions
At ASIACRYPT 2006, Chang et al. analyzed the indifferentiability of some popular hash functions based on block ciphers, namely, the twenty collision resistant PGV, the MDC2 and th...

Attacks on the RC4 stream cipher
In this article we present some weaknesses in the RC4 cipher and their cryptographic applications. Especially we improve the attack described in [2] in such a way, that it will wo...

Skew Hadamard designs and their codes
Skew Hadamard designs (4n-1, 2n-1, n-1) are associated to order 4n skew Hadamard matrices in the natural way. We study the codes spanned by their incidence matrices A and by I +A a...

From graph states to two-graph states
The name `graph state' is used to describe a certain class of pure quantum state which models a physical structure on which one can perform measurement-based quantum computin...

Improved versions of Tardos' fingerprinting scheme
We study the Tardos' probabilistic fingerprinting scheme and show that its codeword length may be shortened by a factor of approximately 4. We achieve this by retracing Tardo...

On vector space partitions and uniformly resolvable designs
Let Vn(q) denote a vector space of dimension n over the field with q elements. A set P of subspaces of Vn(q) is a partition of Vn(q) if every nonzero vector in Vn(q) is contained ...

On the graph of a function in many variables over a finite field
Some improved bounds on the number of directions not determined by a point set in the affine space AG(k, q) are presented. More precisely, if there are more than pe (q -1) directio...

Twisted tensor product codes
We present two families of constacyclic linear codes with large automorphism groups. The codes are obtained from the twisted tensor product construction. AMS subject classificatio...

Partial ovoids and partial spreads in hermitian polar spaces
We present improved lower bounds on the sizes of small maximal partial ovoids in the classical hermitian polar spaces, and improved upper bounds on the sizes of large maximal part...
