The Birthday Trick with Lies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we determine the number of yes/no questions required to figure out a birthday (a number between 0 and 31) when up to r incorrect answers to these questions are allowed. In the language of error-correcting codes, we construct optimal (shortest possible length) codes of size 32 and minimal distance d for each positive integer d .

The Collision Security of Tandem-DM in the Ideal Cipher Model
We prove that Tandem-DM, which is one of the two “classical” schemes for turning a blockcipher of 2n-bit key into a double block length hash function, has birthday-type collision resistance in the ideal cipher model. A collision resistance analysis for Tandem-DM achieving a similar birthday-type bound was already proposed by Fleischmann, Gorski and Lucks at FSE 2009 [3]. As we detail, however, ...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملHardness Preserving Reductions via Cuckoo Hashing
A common method for increasing the usability and uplifting the security of pseudorandom function families (PRFs) is to “hash” the inputs into a smaller domain before applying the PRF. This approach, known as “Levin’s trick”, is used to achieve “PRF domain extension” (using a short, e.g., fixed, input length PRF to get a variable-length PRF), and more recently to transform non-adaptive PRFs to a...
متن کاملDo Iranians and Americans Congratulate their Friends Differently on their Birthdays on Facebook? A Case for Intercultural Studies
Cross-cultural analyses of speech acts are among the hot topics in contrastive studies and up to now various researchers have explored this very issue. Despite the ample studies in this field, the speech act of congratulation, especially the subject of ‘birthday congratulation’ remains untouched. The study investigates the possible effects of being an Iranian or an American typical Facebook use...
متن کاملThe Leaves of Spring
we are given 121 statements by the mother, 86 by the father, 53 by the interviewer, 31 by the brother and only 16 by the girl. The book holds interest for a time as the mise-en-scene builds up, but when it becomes clear that the central figure is never going to appear at all, the interest evaporates. Rebecca was a clever and unusual play but the trick of never displaying the chief character can...
