A Further Note on Runs in Independent Sequences

Given a sequence of letters generated independently from a finite alphabet, we consider the case when more than one, but not all, letters are generated with the highest probability. The length of the longest run of any of these letters is shown to be one greater than the length of the longest run in a particular state of an associated Markov chain. Using results of Foulser and Karlin (19...

The Limits of Common Coins: Further Results

In [8] it was shown that the coin-tossing functionality Fcoin has limited use in 2-party secure function evaluation (SFE) in the computationally unbounded (a.k.a information-theoretic) setting. Further it was shown that for Fcoin to be useful in securely realizing any one in a a large class of symmetric SFE (SSFE) functionalities, a certain computational assumption (namely the existence of a se...
