A recent trend towards integrating FPGAs with many heterogeneous components, such as memory systems, dedicated multipliers, etc., has made them an attractive option for implementing many embedded systems. Paradoxically, the integration that makes modern FPGAs an attractive computing substrate also makes the development of energy efficient FPGA designs very challenging in practice. This is due t...

Motivated by the revelations of Edward Snowden, post-Snowden cryptography has become a prominent research direction in recent years. In Eurocrypt 2015, Mironov and Stephens-Davidowitz proposed a novel concept named cryptographic reverse firewall (CRF) which can resist exfiltration of secret information from an arbitrarily compromised machine. In this work, we continue this line of research and ...

Despite introduction of oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors and intracavernosal vasoactive agents, penile prosthesis implant remains a relevant and desired option with sales of penile prostheses continue to stay high, as many men became refractory to medical therapy and/or seeking a more effective and permanent therapy. There are two types of penile prosthesis implants: inflatable and non-...

Future collaborative learning technologies are characterized by the CSCL community as highly malleable and flexible. A promising approach for meeting these expectations is to use explicit models which parameterize a generic kernel for flexibly supporting different kinds of collaborative applications. This technical orientation raises complex issues related to the production of such operational ...

We prove in the random oracle model that OAEP++, which was proposed by us at the rump session of Asiacrypt 2000, can generate IND-CCA2 ciphers using deterministic OW-CPA cryptographic primitives. Note that OAEP++ differs from OAEP proposed by Jonsson in [4]. While OAEP requires a non-malleable block cipher, OAEP++ does not require such additional functions. The security reduction of OAEP++ is a...
