Bayesian optimal experimental design is a sub-field of statistics focused on developing methods to make efficient use resources. Any potential evaluated in terms utility function, such as the (theoretically well-justified) expected information gain (EIG); unfortunately however, under most circumstances EIG intractable evaluate. In this work we build off successful variational approaches, which ...

This paper explores the concepts of synergy, economies of scope and complementary in an attempt to refine the concept of synergy. The paper develops a taxonomi consisting of four kinds of synergies: 1)The static and subadditive synergies consisting of economies of scope and asset amortization benefits, 2) the static and superadditive synergies known from the treatment by Ansoff (1965), 3) the d...

We propose the first provably secure zero-knowledge (ZK) argument of knowledge (AoK) protocol running at close to 1 megabyte per second (MBps) on commodity hardware – about an order of magnitude faster than relevant current protocols. It is a post-quantum, (efficientprover) honest-verifier (HV) statistical zero-knowledge (SZK) sigma protocol in the standard model under a hardness assumption on ...

Amortization schemes for authenticating streamed data have been introduced as a solution to reduce the high overhead that sign-each schemes suffer from. The hash chains structure of amortization schemes and the number of hash values appended to other packets affect the efficiency of the authentication scheme specially against packet loss. Which packets should have hashes appended to the signatu...

We describe a novel method for authenticating multicast packets that is robust against packet loss. Our main focus is to minimize the size of the communication overhead required to authenticate the packets. Our approach is to encode the hash values and the signatures with Rabin’s Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) to construct an authentication scheme that amortizes a single signature operat...
