The Combined Power of Conditions and Information on Failures to Solve Asynchronous Set Agreement
Abstract. To cope with the impossibility of solving agreement problems in asynchronous systems made up of n processes and prone to t process crashes, system designers tailor their ...

On Monotone Formula Composition of Perfect Zero-Knowledge Languages
We investigate structural properties of interactive perfect zero-knowledge (PZK) proofs. Specifically, we look into the closure properties of PZK languages under monotone boolean ...

Cryptography in the Bounded-Quantum-Storage Model
We initiate the study of two-party cryptographic primitives with unconditional security, assuming that the adversary's quantum memory is of bounded size. We show that oblivio...

Combination Can Be Hard: Approximability of the Unique Coverage Problem
We prove semi-logarithmic inapproximability for a maximization problem called unique coverage: given a collection of sets, find a subcollection that maximizes the number of elemen...
