This article describes mechanisms for offline delegation of access rights to files maintained by a distributed “File Repository”. The mechanisms are designed for a target environment where personal machines are used at times when critical services, such as authentication and authorization services, are not accessible. We demonstrate how valid delegation credentials can be transferred verbally w...

Delphic Semigroups by David G. Kendall

an array is said to converge to an element u when the ith marginal product converges to u\ an element is said to be infinitely divisible when it possesses a Jfeth root for each fee2. (A) There exists a continuous homomorphism A from the semigroup into the additive semigroup of nonnegative reals, such that A(u) = 0 if and only if u is the neutral element. (B) The set {u':u'\u} of factors of any ...

Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the phenomenon known as ”predatory lending.” In a forthcoming paper, we argue that predatory lending emerged when market incentives that historically led lenders to engage in credit rationing gave way to a market where lenders could easily exploit unsophisticated borrowers. Our specific focus is on the home loan market, i.e., closed...

In this thesis, we investigate the problem of decision-making in large two-player zero-sumgames using Monte Carlo sampling and regret minimization methods. We demonstrate fourmajor contributions. The first is Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization (MC-CFR): a generic family of sample-based algorithms that compute near-optimal equilibriumstrategies. Secondly, we develop a...
