Post-quantum algorithms for digital signing in Public Key Infrastructures

One emerging threat to Public Key Infrastructures is the possible development of largescale quantum computers, which would be able to break the public-key cryptosystems used today. Several possibly post-quantum secure cryptographic algorithms have been proposed but so far they have not been used in many practical settings. The purpose of this thesis was to find post-quantum digital signature al...

Digital Histories for Future Health

In this paper we describe the opportunity for digital behavioral histories to empower individuals to engage in positive health behaviors. The digital trails we leave by using various social, mobile and web services and self-tracking tools can be used to create a compelling digital narrative of past behaviors. The use of these digital narratives should be explored for the purpose of facilitating...

Intracluster Moves for Constrained Discrete-Space MCMC

This paper addresses the problem of sampling from binary distributions with constraints. In particular, it proposes an MCMC method to draw samples from a distribution of the set of all states at a specified distance from some reference state. For example, when the reference state is the vector of zeros, the algorithm can draw samples from a binary distribution with a constraint on the number of...

Learning to Use ‘Public Space’: Urban Space in Post-Soviet St. Petersburg

The article discusses the post-socialist developments of urban public space in St. Petersburg, Russia. The city with a historic center protected by the UNESCO World Heritage status in combination with the Soviet legacy of lack of public participation is facing the problem of public space development. There are two controversial concepts of urban space represented in the public discourse that ar...
