Better short-seed quantum-proof extractors
We construct a strong extractor against quantum storage that works for every min-entropy k, has logarithmic seed length, and outputs Ω(k) bits, provided that the quantum adversa...

Of passwords and people: measuring the effect of password-composition policies
Text-based passwords are the most common mechanism for authenticating humans to computer systems. To prevent users from picking passwords that are too easy for an adversary to gue...

Non-malleable extractors via character sums
In studying how to communicate over a public channel with an active adversary, Dodis and Wichs introduced the notion of a non-malleable extractor. A non-malleable extractor dramat...

Independent component analysis by entropy bound minimization
A novel (differential) entropy estimator is introduced where the maximum entropy bound is used to approximate the entropy given the observations, and is computed using a numerical ...

High-Speed Flow Nature Identification
This paper concerns the fundamental problem of identifying the content nature of a flow, namely text, binary, or encrypted, for the first time. We propose Iustitia, a tool for ide...

Quantitative Comparison of Similarity Measure and Entropy for Fuzzy Sets
Comparison and data analysis to the similarity measures and entropy for fuzzy sets are studied. The distance proportional value between the fuzzy set and the corresponding crisp se...

Normalized Measures of Mutual Information with General Definitions of Entropy for Multimodal Image Registration
Abstract. Mutual information (MI) was introduced for use in multimodal image registration over a decade ago [1,2,3,4]. The MI between two images is based on their marginal and join...

Distributed monitoring of conditional entropy for anomaly detection in streams
In this work we consider the problem of monitoring information streams for anomalies in a scalable and efficient manner. We study the problem in the context of network streams wher...
