Assume that Alice is running a program $P$ on a RAM, and an adversary
Bob would like to get some information about the input or output of the
program. At each time, during the execution of $P$, Bob is able to see
the addresses of the memory cells involved in ... more >>>

We introduce tri-state circuits (TSCs). TSCs form a natural model of computation that, to our knowledge, has not been considered by theorists. The model captures a surprising combination of simplicity and power. TSCs are simple in that they allow only three wire values ($0$,$1$, and undefined – $Z$) and three ... more >>>
