Keywords IST-1999-12324 Report Public D19 Algorithm Specific Toolbox NES/DOC/SAG/WP2/049/3 Marcus Schafheutle, SAG The purpose of this document is to describe the developed algorithm specific NESSIE tools. In contrast to the statistical tests of the NESSIE test suite, each of these tools is specific for only one individual algorithm. So their reusability is rather limited. Due to this fact only short descriptions of these tools are given. The software provided with these tools is not publicly available.

: This report considers the use of smart cards as mobile personal security modules. The format of a smart card is described and the impact that this format has on both the way a smart card can be used as a security module and the limitations that the smart card imposes are discussed. The security threats to smart cards, from physical to technological and environmental, are considered along with the various measures that are or can be adopted to prevent them. Further sections consider: . how the performance limitations of smart cards for cryptographic purposes may in certain circumstances, be circumvented . the use of operating system commands for application implementation and how this may be improved by use of an interpreter concept along the lines of the Java Card API . the required security functionality of a UIM in the UMTS system.

-law), then it is possible to reconstruct f to within very high accuracy from a small number of random measurements. typical result is as follows: we rearrange the entries of f (or its coefficients in a fixed basis) in decreasing order of magnitude |f | (1) ≥ |f | (2) ≥... ≥ |f | (N), and define the weak-ℓp ball

We present a new polynomial-time algorithm for linear programming. In the worst case, the algorithm requires O(tf'SL) arithmetic operations on O(L) bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and L is the number of bits in the input. The running,time of this algorithm is better than

We survey 392 CFOs about the cost of capital, capital budgeting, and capital structure. Large firms rely heavily on present value techniques and the capital asset pricing model, while small firms are relatively likely to use the payback criterion. We find that a surprising number of firms use

Future computing environments will free the user from the constraints of the desktop. Applications for a mobile environment should take advantage of contextual information, suach as position, to offer greater services to the user. In his paper, we present the Cyberguide project, in which we

One role for workload generation is as a means for understanding how servers and networks respond to variation in load. This enables management and capacity planning based on current and projected usage. This paper applies a number of observations of Web server usage to create a realistic Web

such as Ethernet and FDDI, it is helpful to start with Myrinet's genealogy. Myrinet is rooted in the results of two ARPA-sponsored research projects, the Caltech Mosaic, an experimental, fine-grain multicomputer [1], and the USC Information Sciences Institute (USC/ISI) ATOMIC LAN [2, 3], which was built using

The difficulties inherent in obtaining con-sistent and adequate diagnoses for the pur-poses of research and therapy have been pointed out by a number of authors. Pasamanick12 in a recent article viewed the low interclinician agreement on diagnosis as an indictment of the present state of psychiatry
