It commonly seen in HIV-positive patients and rarely immunosuppressed HIV-negative patients. Rituximab monoclonal anti-CD20 chimeric murine/human immunoglobulin G antibody used treat B cell lymphoproliferative diseases as well variety of autoimm...

In this article, we present a new code-based stream cipher called 2SC, based on the sponge construction. The security of the keystream generation of 2SC is reducible to the conjectured intractability of the Syndrome Decoding (SD) problem, which is believed to be hard in the average case. Our stream cipher compares favorably with other provably secure stream ciphers such as QUAD and SYND in term...
