The State of Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Since the introduction of public-key cryptography by Diffie and Hellman in 1976, the potential for the use of the discrete logarithm problem in public-key cryptosystems has been recognized. Although the discrete logarithm problem as first employed by Diffie and Hellman was defined explicitly as the problem of finding logarithms with respect to a generator in the multiplicative group of the integers modulo a prime, this idea can be extended to arbitrary groups and, in particular, to elliptic curve groups. The resulting public-key systems provide relatively small block size, high speed, and high security. This paper surveys the development of elliptic curve cryptosystems from their inception in 1985 by Koblitz and Miller to present day implementations.  

On adjacent-vertex-distinguishing total coloring of graphs

In this paper, we present a new concept of the adjacent-vertex-distinguishing total coloring of graphs (briefly, AVDTC of graphs) and, meanwhile, have obtained the adjacent-vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number of some graphs such as cycle, complete graph, complete bipartite graph, fan, wheel and tree.

Shortest paths algorithms: Theory and experimental evaluation

We conduct an extensive computational study of shortest paths algorithms, including some very recent algorithms. We also suggest new algorithms motivated by the experimental results and prove interesting theoretical results suggested by the experimental data. Our computational study is based on several natural problem classes which identify strengths and weaknesses of various algorithms. These problem classes and algorithm implementations form an environment for testing the performance of shortest paths algorithms. The interaction between the experimental evaluation of algorithm behavior and the theoretical analysis of algorithm performance plays an important role in our research.

It is shown that isometries between the unit spheres of finite dimensional Banach spaces necessarily map antipodal points to antipodal points.  

A Tutorial on the Cross-Entropy Method

The cross-entropy (CE) method is a new generic approach to combinatorial and multi-extremal optimization and rare event simulation. The purpose of this tutorial is to give a gentle introduction to the CE method. We present the CE methodology, the basic algorithm and its modifications, and discuss applications in combinatorial optimization and machine learning.
