We address the problem of selecting nondomain-specific language model training data to build auxiliary language models for use in tasks such as machine translation. Our approach i...
Quantizer design for lossy compression with mismatched side information (SI) at the decoder is investigated. The statistical dependency between the source and SI is assumed to be ...
We study the question of basing symmetric key cryptography on weak secrets. In this setting, Alice and Bob share an n-bit secret W, which might not be uniformly random, but the ad...
Peer discovery and route set-up are an integral part of the processes by which anonymizing peer-to-peer systems are made secure. When systems are large, and individual nodes only ...
We prove the first general and non-trivial lower bound for the number of times a 1-out-of-n Oblivious Transfer of strings of length should be invoked so as to obtain, by an inform...
