AB - compacta Isaac

We define a compactum X to be AB-compact if the cofinality of the character χ(x, Y ) is countable whenever x ∈ Y and Y ⊂ X. It is a natural open question if every AB-compactum is necessarily first countable. We strengthen several results from [Arhangel’skii and Buzyakova, Convergence in compacta and linear Lindelöfness, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 39 (1998), no. 1, 159–166] by proving the fol...

Distinguishing attacks on ISAAC

This paper presents two strong distinguishers for the deterministic random bit generator ISAAC, requiring 2 and 2 samples of respectively 64 and 32 bits, based on the observation that more than 2 167 initial states among the 2 192 ones induce a strongly non-uniform distribution of the bits produced at the first round of the algorithm. A previous attack on ISAAC presented at Asiacrypt’06 by Paul...

Isaac Keslassy - PhD Thesis

The function of a router is to switch arriving packets to their correct output destination. A router is built to achieve a specified capacity (the sum of the rates of its interfaces), and users expect a router to consistently achieve this capacity. However, no commercial high-speed router can guarantee today that it will achieve its full capacity for all arrival traffic patterns. This is due to...

Stanley J. Korsmeyer

The scientific community has been saddened and diminished by the loss of Stanley J. Korsmeyer, M.D., who died of lung cancer last month at the age of 54. Over the last 25 years, Korsmeyer had been an international leader in the fields of cancer biology and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Through his studies of apoptosis, Korsmeyer helped revolutionize our concepts of carcinogenesis. Korsmeye...
