Non-malleable code is a relaxed version of errorcorrection codes and the decoding of modified codewords results in the original message or a completely unrelated value. Thus, if an adversary corrupts a codeword then he cannot get any information from the codeword. This means that non-malleable codes are useful to provide a security guarantee in such situations that the adversary can overwrite t...

Mental abilities and physical growth are important determinants of health across the lifespan. Here, stability these traits was assessed from 6 months to 65 years age investigate periods malleability. abilities, height, weight were at 11 time-points in participants Zurich Longitudinal Studies. Individuals with more than three missing data points per trait assessment (i.e., approx. 25% data) exc...

Methods from provable security, developed over the last twenty years, have been recently extensively used to support emerging standards. However, the fact that proofs also need time to be validated through public discussion was somehow overlooked. This became clear when Shoup found that there was a gap in the widely believed security proof of OAEP against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks. We ...

Storage area networks, remote backup storage systems, and similar information systems frequently modify stored data with updates from new versions. In these systems, it is desirable for the data to not only be compressed but to also be easily modified during updates. A malleable coding scheme considers both compression efficiency and ease of alteration, promoting some form of reuse or recycling...

There are several candidate semantically secure encryption schemes, yet in many applications non-malleability of encryptions is crucial. We show how to transform any semantically secure encryption scheme into one that is non-malleable for arbitrarily many messages.

The usual advantages put forward for including nullability declarations in the type systems of programming languages are that they improve program reliability or performance. But there is another, entirely different, reason for doing so. In the right context, this information enables the software artifacts we produce, the objects and methods, to exhibit much greater malleability. For declarativ...
