The core contribution of this thesis is the design, implementation, and evaluation of Gabriel, an application framework that simpl...

In the typical nonparametric approach to classification in instance-based learning and data mining, random data (the training set of patterns) are collected and used to design a decision rule (classifier).

This thesis adds to the cryptanalytic literature by demonstrating the insecurity of several group-based cryptosystems. We cryptanalyse several key establishment proto...
