We present several attacks against Achterbahn, one of the new stream ciphers proposed to the eSTREAM competition. Our best attack breaks the reduced version of the cipher with comp...
The cone ˆG of a finite graph G is obtained by adding a new vertex p, called the cone point, and joining each vertex of G to p by a simple edge. We show that the rank of the red...
In this paper syndrome former trellis construction for punctured convolutional codes (PCCs) is discussed. The class of (np - 1)/np-rate PCCs derived from 1/n-rate mother codes is c...
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
Subspace learning based face recognition methods have attracted considerable interests in recent years, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis ...
