We present a new way to construct a MAC function based on a block cipher. We apply this construction to AES resulting in a MAC function that is a factor 2.5 more efficient than CBC-MAC with AES, while providing a comparable claimed security level.

The complete blood count (CBC), serum chemistry profile, and urinalysis are the cornerstones of clinical laboratory assessment. It is important to perform all the tests concurrently on presentation, particularly in sick patients. Interpreting one test or one group of tests without the others is prone to diagnostic errors. It is not our intention to provide veterinarians with every interpretatio...

notwithstanding a century of prohibition, marijuana is the most widely used illicit substance in canada. due to the growing public acceptance of recreational marijuana use and ineffectiveness of the existing control system in canada, the issue surrounding legalizing this illicit drug has received considerable public and political attentions in recent years. consequently, the newly elected liber...

background research predicting the public health and fiscal impact of supervised injection facilities (sifs), across different cities in canada, has reported positive results on the reduction of hiv cases among people who inject drugs (pwid). most of the existing studies have focused on the outcomes of insite, located in the vancouver downtown eastside (dtes). previous attention has not been af...

The paper introduces an exclusion/inclusion fuzzy classification neural network. The network is based on our GFMM [3] and it allows for two distinct types of hyperboxes to be created: inclusion hyperboxes that correspond directly to those considered in GFMM, and exclusion hyperboxes that represent contentious areas of the pattern space. The subtraction of the exclusion hyperboxes from the inclu...
