Boolean functions are essential to systems for secure and reliable communication. This
comprehensive survey of Boolean functions for cryptography and coding covers the whole …

Abstract Distributed Oblivious Random Access Memory (DORAM) is a secure multiparty
protocol that allows a group of participants holding a secret-shared array to read and write to …

This paper provides a mathematical analysis of optimal algebraic manipulation detection
(AMD) codes. We prove several lower bounds on the success probability of an adversary …

Implantable medical devices (IMDs) have been used to manage a broad range of diseases
and ailments. They are convenient for patients due to their small sizes, unobtrusiveness and …

Various notions of non-malleable secret sharing schemes have been considered. In this
paper, we review the existing work on non-malleable secret sharing and suggest a novel …

We introduce and explicitly construct a quantum error-detection code we coin a “Pauli
Manipulation Detection” code (or PMD), which detects every Pauli error with high probability …

Strong external difference families (SEDFs) were introduced by Paterson and Stinson as a
more restrictive version of external difference families. SEDFs can be used to produce …

We consider strong external difference families (SEDFs); these are external difference
families satisfying additional conditions on the patterns of external differences that occur …

Algebraic manipulation detection (AMD) codes, introduced at EUROCRYPT 2008, may, in
some sense, be viewed as keyless combinatorial authentication codes that provide security …

In this paper, we study the existence of $(v, m, k,\lambda) $-strong external difference
families (SEDFs). We use character-theoretic techniques to show that no SEDF exists when …
