A family is described in which four subjects in two sibships had typical split hand/foot malformation. The possibility of the existence of a rare autosomal recessive form of the malformation is discussed, as well as a two locus model. In the two locus model the dominant mutation leading to the split hand/foot malformation is controlled by a gene at another locus. A dominant mutation at the cont...

Non-malleable codes are a natural relaxation of error correcting/detecting codes that have useful applications in the context of tamper resilient cryptography. Informally, a code is non-malleable if an adversary trying to tamper with an encoding of a given message can only leave it unchanged or modify it to the encoding of a completely unrelated value. This paper introduces an extension of the ...

In group communication scenario, key management is important to preserve forward and backward secrecy. In order to achieve it keys need to be changed during user join/leave which is done by an operation called rekeying. In a centralized key management scheme, the server thereafter passes the new keys to the existing users who are affected via unicasts and multicasts. The number of unicasts and ...

Dziembowski, Pietrzak, and Wichs (ICS–2010) introduced the notion of non-malleable codes as a useful message integrity assurance for scenarios where error-correction or, even, errordetection is impossible. Intuitively, a non-malleable code ensures that the tampered codeword encodes the original message or a message that is entirely independent of the original message. However, if the family of ...
