Today, with the rapidly-increasing data resources and the growing reliance on those resources for supporting business operations and decision-making, data quality (DQ) is broadly recognized as a major issue in information systems in general (Madnick et al., 2009; Panahy et al., 2013) and particularly in the healthcare sector (Kahn et la., 2012; Wechsler et al., 2013). DQ defects in clinical dat...

The security of the Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) public key algorithm depends on difficulty factoring modulus calculated by multiplying two large prime numbers. usefulness RSA lies in using one for encryption and another decryption. However, a poor choice keys used decryption can affect cryptosystem. Many proposals have been made to modify cryptosystem such way that attacks be overcome. In this ...

Title of Document: THE EFFECTS OF WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS ON A COMMERCIAL FISHERY: EVIDENCE FROMTHEMARYLAND BLUE CRAB FISHERY Sarah Ball, Ph.D., 2014 Directed By: Associate Professor Doug Lipton, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics Developing and implementing total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) is a costly and controversial process. However, there are many potential benefits, suc...

In the multiparty communication game introduced by Chandra, Furst, and Lipton CFL] (1983), k players wish to evaluate collaboratively a function f (x0; : : : ; xk?1) for which player i sees all inputs except xi: The players have unlimited computational power. The objective is to minimize the amount of communication. We consider a restricted version of the multiparty communication game which we ...

This work considers locally decodable codes in the computationally bounded channel model. The computationally bounded channel model, introduced by Lipton in 1994, views the channel as an adversary which is restricted to polynomial-time computation. Assuming the existence of IND-CPA secure public-key encryption, we present a construction of public-key locally decodable codes, with constant codew...

Definition of digital signatures. Recall that we had the following picture: Private Key Public Key Secrecy Private Key Encryption Public key Encryption Integrity Message Authentication Codes (MAC) ?? Digital signatures complete this picture by giving a public key analog of message authentication codes. Digital signatures were suggested by Diffie and Hellman in their seminal paper, but unlike th...

To prepare students for postsecondary education, educators and policymakers must perform two tasks at the same time: restructure high schools so they are aligned to the expectations of colleges and revamp instruction so that college readiness is the goal, measure, and substance of good teaching. The research is clear: the key to preparing students for college is rigorous high school course work...
