Expand-and-Randomize: An Algebraic Approach to Secure Computation (open access)

Expand-and-Randomize: An Algebraic Approach to Secure Computation

This article considers the secure computation problem in a minimal model, where Alice and Bob each holds an input and wish to securely compute a function of their inputs at Carol without revealing any additional information about the inputs. For this minimal secure computation problem, the authors propose a novel coding scheme built from two steps. First, the function to be computed is expanded such that it can be recovered while additional information might be leaked. Second, a randomization step is applied to the expanded function such that the leaked information is protected. The authors implement this expand-and-randomize coding scheme with two algebraic structures—the finite field and the modulo ring of integers, where the expansion step is realized with the addition operation and the randomization step is realized with the multiplication operation over the respective algebraic structures.

I Cannot See You—The Perspectives of Deaf Students to Online Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic: Saudi Arabia Case Study

This article investigates the e-learning experiences of deaf students, focusing on the college of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Particularly, it studies the challenges and concerns faced by deaf students during the sudden shift to online learning. Results report problems with internet access, inadequate support, and inaccessibility of content from learning systems, among other issues. The authors argue that institutions should consider a procedure to create more accessible technology that is adaptable during the pandemic to serve individuals with diverse needs.
