International relations scholars have either dismissed nationalism as epiphenomenal or have assumed that it increases the likelihood of interstate violence. Contrary to these conventional views, this paper claims that popular nationalism can have a stabilizing effect, which facilitates the status quo, and that its conflictinducing effect ap...

However, others contend that strategic constraints greatly limit nationalism’s effects on state behavior. Resolving this debate has proven difficult because of endogeneity and measurement i...

Strengthening Short Hash Values

The number of bits in a cryptographic one-way hash value is usually selected so that brute-force search for a second pre-image is impossible. Sometimes, application requirements force one to use shorter and, thus, weaker hash values. Over years, increases in the attacker’s computational capacity will render any protocol that depends on such hashes insecure. In this paper, we present a simple te...
