We prove that there exists a constant c such that, for any integer ∆, the Ramsey number of a bipartite graph on n vertices with maximum degree ∆ is less than 2n. A probabilistic argument due to Graham, Rödl and Ruciński implies that this result is essentially sharp, up to the constant c in the exponent. Our proof hinges upon a quantitative form of a hypergraph packing result of Rödl, Ruciński a...

Password-based methods are dominant in web authentication since they are both easy to implemen...
