Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Linear Systems Over Composite Moduli
10:30am|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

We study solution sets to systems of 'generalized' linear equations of the form ell_i (x_1, x_2,...,x_n) \in A_i (mod m) where ell_1,...,ell_t are linear forms in n Boolean variables, each A_i is an arbitrary subset of Z_m, and m is a composite...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Quasi-One-Way Functions
11:15am|S-101

Ideally, one would want to base the security of standard cryptographic primitives (such as pseudorandom generators) on widely believed worst-case complexity assumptions like P does not equal NP. However, it is currently not known if this is possible...
