We design communication efficient two-party and multi-party protocols for the longest common subsequence (LCS) and related problems. Our protocols achieve privacy with respect to passive adversaries, under reasonable cryptographic assumptions. We benefit from the somewhat surprising interplay of an efficient block-retrieval PIR (GentryRamzan, ICALP 2005) with the classic “four Russians” algorit...

This study considers the extent to which work-related social ties function as a source of social support in Russian workers‟ personal networks. The topic is important since, in the case of unemployment or retirement, personal networks are central for the well-being and coping of Russians.

This contribution analyses the relationship between Halle Pietism and Russian Orthodoxy with a focus on mobility of actors both sides. included Pietists travelling to Russia, but also young Russians being invited study theolo

We describe an efficient implementation of a hierarchy of algorithms for multiplication of dense matrices over the field with two elements (F2). In particular we present our implementation – in the M4RI library – of Strassen-Winograd matrix multiplication and the “Method of the Four Russians” multiplication (M4RM) and compare it against other available implementations. Superior performance is d...
