A Method for Obtaining

An encryption method is presented with the novel property that publicly revealing an encryption key does not thereby reveal the corresponding decryption key. This has two important consequences: 1. Couriers or other secure means are not needed to transmit keys, since a message can be enciphered using an encryption key publicly revealed by the intended recipient. Only he can decipher the message...

A Crowdsourcing Method for Obtaining Rephrased Questions

We propose a method for obtaining and ranking paraphrased questions from crowds to be used as a part of instructions in microtask-based crowdsourcing. With our method, we are able to obtain questions that differ in expression yet have the same semantics with respect to the crowdsourcing task. This is done by generating tasks that give hints and elicit instructions from workers. We conducted exp...

A new method for obtaining Fibonacci identities

For the Lucas sequence {Uk(P,Q)} we discuss the identities like the well-known Fibonacci identities. For example, the generalizations of F2k = F 2 k+1 − F 2 k−1 and F2k+1 = F 2 k+1 + F 2 k are PU2k = U 2 k+1 − QU k−1 and U2k+1 = U k+1 − QU k , respectively. We propose a new simple method for obtaining identities involving any recurrences and use it to obtain new identities involving the Fibonac...
