Example Questions

votes newest recent

Academia: Is there software available to help me keep my archive of papers and citations organized?

Cryptography: How do I map a random point on an elliptical curve (with at least m bits of min-entropy) to an m-bit integer in an unbiased way?

Cryptography: Is there an implementation of Gentry's fully homomorphic encryption scheme? How efficient is it?

Cryptography: Can I use a hash function as random extractor? What about a block cipher?

Cryptography: Can the Dodis-Yampolskiy verifiable random function accept full-sized inputs? Is there an efficient alternative?

Academia: A paper I am reading makes reference to a full version that seems non-existant. How do I approach requesting to see it.

Cognitive Sciences: What are the leading theories on the purpose of dreaming?

Cryptography: Roughly, how do I compare the efficiency of a standard protocol to a shorter pairing-based one with fewer modular exponentiations but some pairings?

Cognitive Sciences: How do sleep monitoring devices work? Are they scientifically sound? Can they improve sleep?

Cognitive Sciences: Are there other devices to augment our perception of distance or direction? I am only aware of the feelSpace belt.
