This paper describes a 1-out-of-N oblivious transfer (OT) extension protocol with active security, which achieves very low overhead on top of the passively secure protocol of Kolesnikov and Kumaresan (Crypto 2011). Our protocol obtains active security using a consistency check which requires only simple computation and has a communication overhead that is independent of the total number of OTs ...

We propose two variations of the non-cooperative bargaining model for games in coalitional form, introduced by Hart and Mas-Colell (1996a). These strategic games implement, in the limit, two new NTU-values: The random marginal and the random removal values. The main characteristic of these proposals is that they always select a unique payo¤ allocation in NTU-games. The random marginal value coi...

This paper presents an efficient filtering system for a metastable state-based true random number generator. To output a result with high randomness, we use loop-storage for storing the value of metastability. During the metastable state, the output value is accumulated to the storage. When the non-metastable state arises, the stored metastable value will be used for output instead of the resul...

Abstract During surface roughness modelling, it is crucial to determine the parameters with highest predictive power since these are outcome drivers. Based on out-of-bag (OOB) mean square error, following Random Forest techniques have been utilized parameter importance: decrease in accuracy and total increase node purity. Validation of results has achieved using Bayesian linear regression techn...

data obtained in association with many real-life random experiments from different fields cannot be perfectly/exactly quantified.hspace{.1cm}often the underlying imprecision can be suitably described in terms of fuzzy numbers/values. for these random experiments, the scale of fuzzy numbers/values enables to capture more variability and subjectivity than that of categorical data, and more accura...

The chemical short-range order (CSRO) in crystalline materials influences the properties, and its effect is significant context of multicomponent materials. We propose a scheme for CSRO parameter or ∆-parameter terms number like unlike bonds systems. OPERA Order Parameter Engineering RAndom Systems semi-canonical canonical ensembles proposed. proposed framework with can generate single-phase su...

Authors extend the multi-parameter attacktree model to include inaccurate or estimated parameter values, which are modelled as probabilistic interval estimations. The paper develops mathematical tools to extend the computation rules of the attacktree model to work with interval estimations instead of point estimates. We present a sample computation routine and discuss how to interpret the analy...

Discrete time chaos based true random number generators are lightweight cryptographic primitives that offer scalable performance for the emerging low power mobile applications. In this work, a novel design method for discrete time chaos based true random number generators is developed using skew tent map as a case study. Optimum parameter values yielding maximum randomness are calculated using ...

We present an approach of topology biased random walks for undirected networks. We focus on a one-parameter family of biases, and by using a formal analogy with perturbation theory in quantum mechanics we investigate the features of biased random walks. This analogy is extended through the use of parametric equations of motion to study the features of random walks vs parameter values. Furthermo...
