Local pseudorandom generators are a class of fundamental cryptographic primitives having very broad applications in theoretical cryptography. Following Couteau et al.’s work at ASIACRYPT 2018, this paper further studies the concrete security of one important class of local pseudorandom generators, i.e., Goldreich’s pseudorandom generators. Our first attack is of the guess-and
In this paper, we investigate the security of SNOW-V, demonstrating two guess-and-determine (GnD) attacks against the full version with complexities 2384 and 2378, respectively, and one distinguishing attack against a reduced variant with complexity 2303 . Our GnD attacks use enumeration with recursion to explore valid guessing paths, and try to truncate as many invalid guessing paths as possible
Flow thinning (FT) is a traffic routing and protection strategy for communication networks whose links experience fluctuations in available capacity (as, e.g., in wireless networks). To cope with this phenomenon, end-to-end traffic demands are assigned dedicated tunnels (e.g., MPLS tunnels) whose nominal capacity is subject to thinning in order to account for variable capacity of the links, fluctu
Motivation: Dynamical models describing intracellular phenomena are increasing in size and complexity as more information is obtained from experiments. These models are often over-parameterized with respect to the quantitative data used for parameter estimation, resulting in uncertainty in the individual parameter estimates as well as in the predictions made from the model. Here we combine Bayesia
During the second week of August, 1,000 Swedes were asked via telephone about their opinions on the use of security cameras in public spaces. Ninety percent of the public were positive when asked the question “What do you think about surveillance cameras in public spaces?” – 49% stat- ing that they are “very positive” and 41% “quite positive”. Furthermore, 72% of the respondents stated that there
Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) schemes are commonly proposed to enable search in a protected unstructured documents such as email archives or any set of sensitive text files. However, some SSE schemes have been recently proposed in order to protect relational databases. Most of the previous attacks on SSE schemes have only targeted its common use case, protecting unstructured data. In this
We present a method for complex frequency estimation in several variables, extending the classical one-dimensional ESPRIT algorithm, and consider how to work with data sampled on nonstandard domains, i.e., going beyond multirectangles.
The fresh re-keying scheme is a countermeasure designed to protect low-cost devices against side-channel attacks. In this paper, we present a new birthday-type attack based on a refined reduction to RING-LPN with a reducible polynomial. Compared with the previous research, our algorithm significantly reduces the time complexity in the 128-bit leakage model—with an SNR equal to 8.21 and at most 2
Distinguishers and nonrandomness detectors are used to distinguish ciphertext from random data. In this paper, we focus on the construction of such devices using the maximum degree monomial test. This requires the selection of certain subsets of key and IV-bits of the cipher, and since this selection to a great extent affects the final outcome, it is important to make a good selection. We present
Although a number of different medium access control (MAC) schemes are adopted for wireless multi-hop networks, time division multiple access (TDMA) approaches based on a periodic frame of time slots are the most common when very high efficiency is needed in terms of use of radio and energy resources. Efficient resource usage is typically based on parallel compatible transmissions from multiple no
Family contributes to immigrant entrepreneurs’ business development in different ways. Family provides financial resources, accept lower salaries and offer volunteer based work. However, there is a lack of research investigating the role of family in the oppoertunity creation process.Thereby the aim of this paper is to explore how family influences the process of entrepreneurial opportunity create
Scheduling library for efficient scheduling of time intervals and merging of schedules.
Random wireless network scenario generator.
The Learning with Errors problem (LWE) has become a central topic in recent cryptographic research. In this paper, we present a new solving algorithm combining important ideas from previous work on improving the BKW algorithm and ideas from sieving in lattices. The new algorithm is analyzed and demonstrates an improved asymptotic performance. For Regev parameters q = n^2 and noise level \sigma = n
Guo et al. recently presented a reaction attack against the QC-MDPC McEliece cryptosystem. Their attack is based on the observation that when a bit-flipping decoding algorithm is used in the QC-MDPC McEliece, then there exists a dependence between the secret matrix H and the failure probability of the bit-flipping algorithm. This dependence can be exploited to reveal the matrix H which constitutes
