Abstract. We investigate several alternate characterizations of pseudorandom functions (PRFs) and pseudorandom permutations (PRPs) in a concrete security setting. By analyzing the ...
State-of-the-art and emerging scientific applications require fast access to large quantities of data and commensurately fast computational resources. Both resources and data are ...
