### How we compute distance after lshashing?

If we use an lsh function under l2 distance (hw,b(x)= ⌊ (wTx)/r ⌋ where w is a d-dimensional vector with entries chosen independently from a 2-stable distribution, r is a positive real number) or ...

### Proof that two signatures are done with the same short bases

My question is regarding lattice based signatures. Each lattice can have multiple short (secret) bases. Is it possible to proof in zero knowledge that two signatures on a fixed lattice have been ...

### any post-shannon symmetric ciphers?

As far as I understand block ciphers use only simple operations to ensure good enough confusion and diffusion levels. meaning there is no math in it. "breaking a good cipher should require as much ...

### Why is symmetric lightweight crypto only about block ciphers and not about stream ciphers?

Why is symmetric lightweight cryptography only about block ciphers and not about stream ciphers? AFAIK stream cipher implementations cost at least three times less than block cipher ones?
