MPFR: A multiple-precision binary floating-point library with correct rounding

TL;DR: This article presents a multiple-precision binary floating-point library, written in the ISO C language, and based on the GNU MP library, to extend to arbitrary- Precision, ideas from the IEEE 754 standard, by providing correct rounding and exceptions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Imperfect Forward Secrecy: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice

TL;DR: Logjam, a novel flaw in TLS that lets a man-in-the-middle downgrade connections to "export-grade" Diffie-Hellman, is presented and a close reading of published NSA leaks shows that the agency's attacks on VPNs are consistent with having achieved a break.
Journal ArticleDOI

GFUN: a Maple package for the manipulation of generating and holonomic functions in one variable

TL;DR: The GFUN package is described which contains functions for manipulating sequences, linear recurrences, or differential equations and generating functions of various types and is intended both as an elementary introduction to the subject and as a reference manual for the package.
Journal ArticleDOI

A calculus for the random generation of labelled combinatorial structures

TL;DR: A general strategy is developed for solving the random generation problem with two closely related types of methods: for structures of size n, the boustrophedonic algorithms exhibit a worst-case behaviour of the form O(n log n); the sequential algorithms have worst case O( n2), while offering good potential for optimizations in the average case.
