Self-Cultivation in Early China

Self-Cultivation in Early China
Paul Fischer, "Self-Cultivation in Early China "
English | ISBN: 1438488335 | 2022 | 342 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Self-Cultivation in Early China is an introduction to multiple aspects of the foundational practice of self-cultivation in early China (c.1000 to 100 BCE). Drawing on the Chinese classics and the dozens of scholars' texts (both received and excavated) that together form the basis of intellectual history for China and all of East Asia, the book's analysis relies on the topics and categories that were central to the thought of these authors, including such well-known thinkers as Confucius and Laozi. This book describes a salient point of view from which we may consider the broader landscape of Chinese intellectual history and presents an important paradigm of the scholarly Chinese worldview that is ideal for comparison with paradigms in other communities, ancient or modern, across the globe.

Secure Multi-Party Computation Against Passive Adversaries

Secure Multi-Party Computation Against Passive Adversaries
Secure Multi-Party Computation Against Passive Adversaries
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031121635 | 238 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB
This book focuses on multi-party computation (MPC) protocols in the passive corruption model (also known as the semi-honest or honest-but-curious model). The authorspresent seminal possibility and feasibility results in this model and includes formalsecurity proofs. Even though the passive corruption model may seem very weak,achieving security against such a benign form of adversary turns out to be non-trivialand demands sophisticated and highly advanced techniques. MPC is a fundamentalconcept, both in cryptography as well as distributed computing. On a very high level, an MPC protocol allows a set of mutually-distrusting parties with their privateinputs to jointly and securely perform any computation on their inputs. Examples ofsuch computation include, but not limited to, privacy-preserving data mining; securee-auction; private set-intersection; and privacy-preserving machine learning. MPCprotocols emulate the role of an imaginary, centralized trusted third party (TTP) thatcollects the inputs of the parties, performs the desired computation, and publishes theresult. Due to its powerful abstraction, the MPC problem has been widely studied overthe last four decades.
