Objects are usually embedded into context. Visual context has been successfully used in
object detection tasks, however, it is often ignored in object tracking. We propose a method …

The demand for more efficient ciphers is a likely to sharpen with new generation of products
and applications. Previous cipher designs typically focused on optimizing only one of the …

Boolean functions represent an important primitive in the design of various cryptographic
algorithms. There exist several well-known schemes where a Boolean function is used to …

Non-linear feedback shift registers (NLFSRs) are a generalization of linear feedback shift
registers in which a current state is a non-linear function of the previous state. The interest in …

Homogeneous rotation symmetric Boolean functions have been extensively studied in
recent years because of their applications in cryptography. Little is known about the basic …

It has been known since 1996 (work of Cai et al.) that the sequence of Hamming weights {wt
(fn (x 1,…, xn))}, where fn is a symmetric Boolean function of degree d in n variables …

The covering radius of the third order Reed–Muller code of length 128 has been an open
problem for many years. The best upper bound of it is known to be 22. In this paper, we give …

Abstract The Gowers U_3 U 3 norm of a Boolean function is a measure of its resistance to
quadratic approximations. It is known that smaller the Gowers U_3 U 3 norm for a Boolean …

In cryptography one needs large families of binary sequences with strong pseudorandom
properties. In the last decades many families of this type have been constructed. However, in …
