On Blind Compression of Encrypted Data Approaching the Source

Traditional data transmission over an insecure noiseless channel consists of first compressing data for efficiency and then encrypting it for security. Reversing the order of these operations is considered in Johnson et al. The central realization is that while the raw and encrypted data are statistically independent, the encrypted data and key sequence are not. If distributed source coding tec...

On Blind Compression of Encrypted Correlated Data Approaching The Source Entropy Rate∗

Traditional data transmission over an insecure noiseless channel consists of first compressing data for efficiency and then encrypting it for security. Reversing the order of these operations is considered in Johnson et al. [1]. The central realization is that while the raw and encrypted data are statistically independent, the encrypted data and key sequence are not. If distributed source codin...

Approaching Asymptote

Asymptote is a relatively new tool to make graphics that is integrated with the TEX family. On its website its developers, Andy Hammerlindl, John Bowman, and Tom Prince, characterize it as “a powerful descriptive vector graphics language inspired by METAPOST that features robust floating-point numerics, automatic picture sizing, native three-dimensional graphics, and a C++/Java-like syntax enha...

Approaching Avoidance

Craving is only one component of the mental processes that influence drinking behavior. Alcohol-related cues (ARCs) can set in motion a dynamic competition between inclinations to approach drinking and inclinations to avoid drinking. Craving can thus be integrated into a comprehensive model of decisionmaking in which ambivalence or conflict is a key element. The relative strength of each compon...
