Random numbers are a fundamental resource in science and engineering with important
applications in simulation and cryptography. The inherent randomness at the core of …

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a great opportunity to connect people, information,
and things, which will in turn cause a paradigm shift in the way we work, interact, and think …

One of the most important and critical requirements for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is
security under strict latency. Typically, authentication protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks …

In this paper, Boolean functions in, 4C0 are studied using harmonic analysis on the cube.
The main result is that an ACO Boolean function has almost all of its “power spectrum” on …

Pseudorandom generators are constructed which convert O (SlogR) truly random bits to R
bits that appear random to any algorithm that runs in SPACE (S). In particular, any …

The ability to produce random numbers that are unknown to any outside party is crucial for
many applications. Device-independent randomness generation,,–does not require trusted …

We present simple and efficient hash functions applicable to secure authentication of
information. The constructions are mainly intended for message authentication in systems …

We describe a message authentication algorithm, UMAC, which can authenticate messages
(in software, on contemporary machines) roughly an order of magnitude faster than current …

Quantum random-number generators (QRNGs) can offer a means to generate information-
theoretically provable random numbers, in principle. In practice, unfortunately, the quantum …

Quantum random number generators can provide genuine randomness by appealing to the
fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. In general, a physical generator contains two …
