PANDA is a family of authenticated ciphers submitted to CARSAR, which consists of two ciphers: PANDA-s and PANDA-b. In this work we present a state recovery attack against PANDA-s with time complexity about 2 under the known-plaintext-attack model, which needs about 132 pairs of known plaintext/ciphertext. Based on the above attack, we further deduce a forgery attack against PANDA-s. Our result...

PANDA is a family of authenticated ciphers submitted to CARSAR, which consists of two ciphers: PANDA-s and PANDA-b. In this work we present a state recovery attack against PANDA-s with time complexity about 2 under the known-plaintext-attack model, which needs 137 pairs of known plaintext/ciphertext and about 2GB memories. Our attack is practical in a small workstation. Based on the above attac...

Cellular senescence is a stable cell cycle arrest that limits the proliferation of pre-cancerous cells. Here we demonstrate that scaffold-attachment-factor A (SAFA) and the long noncoding RNA PANDA differentially interact with polycomb repressive complexes (PRC1 and PRC2) and the transcription factor NF-YA to either promote or suppress senescence. In proliferating cells, SAFA and PANDA recruit ...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality, and responds badly to existing treatment. Thus, it is of urgent need to identify novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets of DLBCL. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the development of cancer. By using the next generation HiSeq sequencing ...

Panda is a virtual machine designed to support portable implementations of parallel programming systems. It provides communication primitives and thread support to higher-level layers (such as a runtime system). We have used Panda to implement four parallel programming systems: Orca, data parallel Orca, PVM, and SR. The paper describes our experiences in implementing these systems using Panda a...
