Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for 3rd Generation Authentication and

This specification defines a new EAP method, EAP-AKA’, a small revision of the EAP-AKA method. The change is a new key derivation function that binds the keys derived within the method to the name of the access network. The new key derivation mechanism has been defined in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). This specification allows its use in EAP in an interoperable manner. In addit...

RSG: Beating Subgradient Method without Smoothness and Strong Convexity

In this paper, we study the efficiency of a Restarted SubGradient (RSG) method that periodically restarts the standard subgradient method (SG). We show that, when applied to a broad class of convex optimization problems, RSG method can find an ǫ-optimal solution with a low complexity than SG method. In particular, we first show that RSG can reduce the dependence of SG’s iteration complexity on ...
