Higher criticism is designed to detect a group of sparse, weak sources, none of which are strong enough to be reliably estimated or detected individually. We apply higher criticism as a second-pass method to synthetic F-statistic and C-sta...

This dissertation looks at trusted computing from the user perspective. Possible beneficial uses of the technology are brou...
