Language containment is a method for design verification that involves checking if the behavior of the system to be verified is a subset of the behavior of the specifications (pro...
The Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model of computation is popular for modelling the timing behaviour of real-time embedded hardware and software systems and applications. It is an es...
We present a practical protocol based on homomorphic cryptography for conducting provably fair sealed-bid auctions. The system preserves the secrecy of the bids, even after the an...
