Authentication theory deals with problems connected with the protection of information sent over insecure channels. This thesis concerns different problems in authentication theory. In particular, we consider unconditionally secure authentication, i.e., providing authentication protection agains an enemy equipped with unlimited computing power. Several topics in authentication theory are treated:
In recent years, language contacts have been considered one of the main causes for language change (Heine and Kuteva 2005, 2006), and this is also the case in English. However, English has gone through a range of contacts including a mutually intelligible language, e.g., Old Norse, and various dialects. In the context of English, French does not form a similar kind of contact, since it was spoken
Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostatacancer är idag den vanligaste sjukdomen hos män, och är den cancer form som leder till flest dödsfall bland män i Sverige (av de män som får diagnosen avlider 35% på grund av sjukdomen). Det har visats att risken att utveckla prostatacancer påverkas av ålder, etnicitet och diet (bla asiatisk mat och tomater verkar ha skyddande effekt), men också av genetiska fakProstate-specific antigen (PSA) is a worldwide used tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. It is a serine protease and belongs to the family of glandular kallikreins. Humans have three classical glandular kallikreins, but it has been reported that rodents have many more. Lately, the family has been expanded to contain 12 new genes, KLK4–KLK15, that are situated at the same locus
Purpose of this paper The outcome of product development, i.e. the product design, together with the packaging solution, has a great impact on the logistics performance of supply chains. Despite this, packaging has traditionally been given a very modest role in the product development literature as well as in the logistics literature. The aim of this paper is to show how logistics performance an
Non wide-sense stationary (WSS) uncorrelated scatterering (US) fading processes are observed in vehicular communications. To estimate such a process under additive white Gaussian noise we use the local scattering function (LSF). In this paper we present an optimal parametrization of the multitaper-based LSF estimator. We do this by quantizing the mean square error (MSE). For that purpose we use th
Sorption isotherms (moisture content as a function of relative humidity (RH) at equilibrium) are an important tool in designing buildings to limit moisture related problems. Normally only a single sorption curve is used so that each moisture content uniquely corresponds to one RH. Sometimes two curves are used, one curve for absorption and one for desorption, as it is well known that sorption has
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) require ambitious policies for existing buildings. One important aspect of policy design is to understand the decision making of building owners and investors. Governments can support such decisions with grants, but public funds can only cover part of the investments. Hence, schemes need to be well-design

Skew Laplace distributions, which naturally arise in connection with random summation and quantile regression settings, offer an attractive and flexible alternative to the normal (Gaussian) distribution in a variety of settings where the assumptions of symmetry and short tail are too restrictive. The growing popularity of the Laplacebased models in recent years is due to their fundamental properti
