Book excerpt: Cryptographic assumptions and security goals are fundamentally distributional. As a result, statistical techniques are ubiquitous in cryptographic constructions and proofs. In this thesis, we build upon existing techniques and seek to improve both theoretical and practical constructions in three fundamental primitives in cryptography: blockciphers, hash functions, and encryption schemes. First, we present a tighter hybrid argument via collision probability that is more general than previously known, allowing applications to blockciphers. We then use our result to improve the bound of the Swap-or-Not cipher. We also develop a new blockcipher composition theorem that is both class and security amplifying. Second, we prove a variant of Leftover Hash Lemma for joint leakage, inspired by the Universal Computational Extractor (UCE) assumption. We then apply this technique to construct various standard-model UCE- secure hash functions. Third, we survey existing "lossy primitives" in cryptography, in particular Lossy Trapdoor Functions (LTDF) and Lossy Encryptions (LE); we pro- pose a generalized primitive called Lossy Deterministic Encryption (LDE). We show that LDE is equivalent to LTDFs. This is in contrast with the block-box separation of trapdoor functions and public-key encryption schemes in the computational case. One common theme in our methods is the focus on statistical techniques. Another theme is that the results obtained are in contrast with their computational counterparts--the corresponding computational results are implausible or are know to be false.

Download or read book Statistical Methods for Global Health and Epidemiology written by Xinguang Chen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines statistical methods and models used in the fields of global health and epidemiology. It includes methods such as innovative probability sampling, data harmonization and encryption, and advanced descriptive, analytical and monitory methods. Program codes using R are included as well as real data examples. Contemporary global health and epidemiology involves a myriad of medical and health challenges, including inequality of treatment, the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its subsequent control, the flu, cancer, tobacco control, drug use, and environmental pollution. In addition to its vast scales and telescopic perspective; addressing global health concerns often involves examining resource-limited populations with large geographic, socioeconomic diversities. Therefore, advancing global health requires new epidemiological design, new data, and new methods for sampling, data processing, and statistical analysis. This book provides global health researchers with methods that will enable access to and utilization of existing data. Featuring contributions from both epidemiological and biostatistical scholars, this book is a practical resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in solving global health problems in research, education, training, and consultation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2009 Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy was the 14th in an annual series that started in 1996. Over the years ACISP has grown froma relativelysmall conferencewith a largeproportionof paperscoming from Australia into a truly international conference with an established reputation. ACISP 2009 was held at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, d- ing July 1–3, 2009. This year there were 106 paper submissions and from those 30 papers were accepted for presentation, but one was subsequently withdrawn. Authors of - cepted papers came from 17 countries and 4 continents, illustrating the inter- tional ?avorof ACISP. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all authors who submitted papers to ACISP 2009. The contributed papers were supplemented by two invited talks from e- nent researchers in information security. Basie von Solms (University of Joh- nesburg), currently President of IFIP, raised the question of how well dressed is the information security king. L. Jean Camp (Indiana University) talked about how to harden the network from the friend within. We are grateful to both of them for sharing their extensive knowledge and setting challenging questions for the ACISP 2009 delegates. We were fortunate to have an energetic team of experts who formed the Program Committee. Their names may be found overleaf, and we thank them warmly for their considerable e?orts. This team was helped by an even larger number of individuals who reviewedpapers in their particularareasof expertise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to blockchain and distributed ledger technology. Intended as an applied guide for hands-on practitioners, the book includes detailed examples and in-depth explanations of how to build and run a blockchain from scratch. Through its conceptual background and hands-on exercises, this book allows students, teachers and crypto enthusiasts to launch their first blockchain while assuming prior knowledge of the underlying technology. How do I build a blockchain? How do I mint a cryptocurrency? How do I write a smart contract? How do I launch an initial coin offering (ICO)? These are some of questions this book answers. Starting by outlining the beginnings and development of early cryptocurrencies, it provides the conceptual foundations required to engineer secure software that interacts with both public and private ledgers. The topics covered include consensus algorithms, mining and decentralization, and many more. “This is a one-of-a-kind book on Blockchain technology. The authors achieved the perfect balance between the breadth of topics and the depth of technical discussion. But the real gem is the set of carefully curated hands-on exercises that guide the reader through the process of building a Blockchain right from Chapter 1.” Volodymyr Babich, Professor of Operations and Information Management, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University "An excellent introduction of DLT technology for a non-technical audience. The book is replete with examples and exercises, which greatly facilitate the learning of the underlying processes of blockchain technology for all, from students to entrepreneurs.” Serguei Netessine, Dhirubhai Ambani Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania "Whether you want to start from scratch or deepen your blockchain knowledge about the latest developments, this book is an essential reference. Through clear explanations and practical code examples, the authors take you on a progressive journey to discover the technology foundations and build your own blockchain. From an operations perspective, you can learn the principles behind the distributed ledger technology relevant for transitioning towards blockchain-enabled supply chains. Reading this book, you'll get inspired, be able to assess the applicability of blockchain to supply chain operations, and learn from best practices recognized in real-world examples." Ralf W. Seifert, Professor of Technology and Operations Management at EPFL and Professor of Operations Management at IMD

Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a lot of interest in provably "good" pseudo-random number generators [lo, 4, 14, 31. These cryptographically secure generators are "good" in the sense that they pass all probabilistic polynomial time statistical tests. However, despite these nice properties, the secure generators known so far suffer from the han- cap of being inefiicient; the most efiicient of these take n2 steps (one modular multip- cation, n being the length of the seed) to generate one bit. Pseudc-random number g- erators that are currently used in practice output n bits per multiplication (n2 steps). An important open problem was to output even two bits on each multiplication in a cryptographically secure way. This problem was stated by Blum, Blum & Shub [3] in the context of their z2 mod N generator. They further ask: how many bits can be o- put per multiplication, maintaining cryptographic security? In this paper we state a simple condition, the XOR-Condition and show that any generator satisfying this condition can output logn bits on each multiplication. We show that the XOR-Condition is satisfied by the lop least significant bits of the z2-mod N generator. The security of the z2 mod N generator was based on Quadratic Residu- ity [3]. This generator is an example of a Trapdoor Generator [13], and its trapdoor properties have been used in protocol design. We strengthen the security of this gene- tor by proving it as hard as factoring.
