Identifying witness accounts is important for rumor debunking, crises management, and basically any task that involves on the ground eyes. The prevalence of social media has provided citizen journalism with scale and eye witnesses prominence. However, the amount of noise on social media also makes it likely that witness accounts get buried too deep in the noise and are never discovered. In this...

Can a procedure that decides whether a Boolean formula has a satisfying assignment help to find such an assignment? The naïve adaptive “search-todecision” reduction uses a linear number of (quite weak) queries. Is there a lower bound on the number of queries required for a nonadaptive search-to-decision reduction? We report on lower bounds for various classes of queries. Most interesting types ...

We revisit the problem of whether the witness hiding property of classic 3-round public-coin proof systems for languages/distributions with unique witnesses are still witness hiding. Though strong black-box impossibility results are known for them [Pas11, HRS09], we provide some less unexpected positive results on the witness hiding security of classic protocols: – We develop an embedding techn...

A delegateable signature scheme is a signature scheme where the owner of the signing key(Alice) can securely delegate to another party(Bob) the ability to sign on Alice’s behalf on a restricted subset S of the message space. Barak first defined and constructed this signature scheme using non-interactive zero-knowledge proof of knowledge(NIZKPK)[1]. In his delegateable signature scheme, the func...

a working document by global witness. 10 may 2000 This working report has been produced by Global Witness. Partial funding for this report was kindly received from the UN department of the UK Foreign and Commenwealth Office (FCO), without which this report would not have been possible. The views expressed within are solely those of Global Witness. There are many individuals, companies and count...

Due to refusal of blood component transfusions, Jehovah's Witness patients with cancer present a challenge to oncologists who must find appropriate and acceptable treatments. In order to assess the morbidity and mortality that these patients suffer, a retrospective review was conducted of all 58 Jehovah's Witness patients treated at our center from October 1986 through February 1994. This study...

The fundamental construct of numerical algebraic geometry is the representation of an irreducible algebraic set, A, by a witness set, which consists of a polynomial system, F , for which A is an irreducible component of V(F ), a generic linear space L of complementary dimension to A, and a numerical approximation to the set of witness points, L ∩A. Given F , methods exist for computing a numeri...

In Mobile agents systems, agents can perform their programs with traveling from the server to others and fault tolerance is important in their itinerary. In the paper, existent methods of fault tolerance in mobile agents are considering and described. Then the method is considered that which uses cooperating two agents to fault tolerance, to detect and to recover server and agent failure, meani...
