    • On a New Method for Derivative Free Optimization 

      Frimannslund, Lennart; Steihaug, Trond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)
      A new derivative-free optimization method for unconstrained optimization of partially separable functions is presented. Using average curvature information computed from sampled function values the method generates an ...
    • On a New, Efficient Framework for Falsifiable Non-interactive Zero-Knowledge Arguments 

      Parisella, Roberto (Doctoral thesis, 2023-06-09)
      Et kunnskapsløst bevis er en protokoll mellom en bevisfører og en attestant. Bevisføreren har som mål å overbevise attestanten om at visse utsagn er korrekte, som besittelse av kortnummeret til et gyldig kredittkort, uten ...
    • On Classification and Some Properties of APN Functions 

      Sun, Bo (Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-22)
      Boolean functions optimal with respect to different cryptographic properties (such as APN, AB, bent functions, etc.) are crucial to the design of secure cryptosystems. Investigating the properties and construction of these ...
    • On Connections Between Graphs, Codes, Quantum States, and Boolean Functions 

      Danielsen, Lars Eirik (Doctoral thesis, 2008-05-28)
      We study objects that can be represented as graphs, error-correcting codes, quantum states, or Boolean functions. It is known that self-dual additive codes, which can also be interpreted as quantum states, can be represented ...

      Bartoli, Daniele; Calderini, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Functions with low differential uniformity have relevant applications in cryptography. Recently, functions with low c-differential uniformity attracted lots of attention. In particular, so-called APcN and PcN functions ...
