Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract. In this paper we propose a new 32-bit RC4 like keystream generator. The proposed generator produces 32 bits in each iteration and can be implemented in software with reasonable memory requirements. Our experiments show that this generator is 3.2 times faster than original 8-bit RC4. It has a huge internal state and offers higher resistance against state recovery attacks than the original 8-bit RC4. We analyze the randomness properties of the generator using a probabilistic approach. The generator is suitable for high speed software encryption.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
