The problem of guessing a random string is revisited and some prior results on guessing exponents are re-derived using the theory of large deviations. It is shown that if the seque...
FPGA chips in reconfigurable computer systems are used as malleable coprocessors where components of a hardware library of functions can be configured as needed. As the number of ...
A series of recent papers have demonstrated collision attacks on popularly used hash functions, including the widely deployed MD5 and SHA-1 algorithm. To assess this threat, the na...
Abstract. In this report a new backward strictness analysis for functional languages is presented. It is called higher order demand propagation and is applicable to a realistic non...
This paper considers hash functions based on block ciphers. It presents a new attack on the compression function of the 128-bit hash function MDC-4 using DES with a complexity far ...
