In this note, we describe an error in the proof for CLRW2 given by Landecker et al. in their paper at CRYPTO 2012 on the beyond-birthday-bound security for tweakable block ciphers. We are able to resolve the issue, give a new bound for the security of CLRW2, and identify a potential limitation of this proof technique when looking to extend the scheme to provide asymptotic security.

Abstract Inter-vehicle communication system using 720 MHz band to prevent car crashes at an intersection has been proposed in Japan recently. In this paper, the propagation characteristics at an intersection surrounded by concrete block walls in residential area were analyzed by using the FDTD method for the first time. We investigated the influence of wall thickness and source locations on the...

composite concrete-steel plate shear walls are the most critical resisting structural members that resist lateral and axial loads. This type of wall consisting of two steel faceplates presenting the outer skin, infill concrete and shear connectors which are used to provide the composite action of the steel faceplates with infill concrete in order to increase the strength and to reduce the local...

having observed the costly failures of different cutoff walls, that had been constructed according to the mix design specified by reputable consultants in iran, a research programme was conducted to study the effects of constituent materials on the properties of plastic concrete. the main properties, such as compressive strength, biaxial and triaxial strains, permeability, and modulus of elasti...

Dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. These walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. In this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

This article presents the results of experimental research, which characterizes parameters and properties porous structure aerated concrete based on industrial waste. Structurally optimal representing physical-mechanical, thermal-technical concrete-based exterior wall structures have been identified. The test were carried out in research laboratories using block constructions with an compositio...
