    Original video recording on VHS is housed in the NEJL. The interview is also available online in the mp4 and webm formats at: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/library/collections/nejl/gideon/index.cfmThe interview was conducted by Victor Geminiani on March 17, 1993, as part of the NEJL oral history project.Krash is a graduate of the University of Chicago (B.A.1946); the University of Chicago Law School (J.D. 1949); and he was a graduate fellow at the Yale Law School 1949-50. He is presently a Distinguished Visitor from Practice at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. where he teaches Constitutional Law. Krash was a member of President Johnson’s Commission on Crime in the District of Columbia in 1966-67, and he was President of the Friends of the Law Library of Congress in the 1990s. For many years, he was the head of the anti-trust practice group at Arnold & Porter, and he represented a number of major companies in different kinds of proceedings. He is the author of numerous articles in law reviews and law journals on a variety of subjects. Mr. Krash continues to advocate further reforms to fully realize Gideon’s intent: statewide public defender systems, decriminalization of some crimes, and reexamination by the Supreme Court as to what constitutes adequate counsel. In 2013, Krash received the Lifetime Achievers Award from the American Lawyer’s.Abe Krash worked for Arnold, Fortas & Porter, and assisted Abe Fortas in researching the issues and writing the brief for Gideon v. Wainwright Gideon v. Wainwright 372 U.S. 335 (1963). In the interview, Krash recalls Fortas’ defense strategy, and reflected about the impact of the case as one of the landmark cases of constitutional law in the last fifty years. At the same time, he emphasized that “all of the hopes that we had have not been fulfilled.

    Abe Yoshishige on 'Masaoka Shiki as a person'

    This is a video of a talk by Reiko Abe Auestad (University of Oslo) for the "Haiku as World Literature: A Celebration of the 150th Birthday of Haiku Poet Masaoka Shiki", which took place on October 12 & 13, 2017 at Barristers Hall, Boston University. Recorded on October 12, 2017 by the Geddes Language Center.Reiko Abe Auestad is Professor at the University of Oslo. She is the author of Rereading Soseki: Three Early Twentieth-Century Japanese Novels (1998) which was republished in a digital form from CEAS Reprint Series for Rare and Out of Print Publications at Yale University (2016). Her recent essays include "Invoking Affect in Kawakami Mieko's Chichi to ran (Breasts and Eggs 2008)," Japan Forum (2016) and "Ibuse Masuji's Kuroi Ame (Black Rain 1965) and Imamura Shōhei's Film Adaptation (1989)," Bunron (2017). "The Affect that Disorients Kokoro" in The Review of Japanese Culture and Society and "Colliding Forms in Literary History: A Reading of Natsume Sōseki's Light and Dark" in the Routledge Companion to World Literature and World History are forthcoming. Together with Alan Tansman and Keith J. Vincent, she is also co-editing two collections of essays on the novelist Natsume Sōseki.In his essay on Masaoka Shiki on the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Abe Yoshishige discusses his view of Shiki "as a person," based on the anecdotes he has heard from his friends, relatives, and the novelist Natsume Sōseki, as well as on his own reading of some of Shiki's works (sixteen years his junior, Abe's first-hand experience with Shiki was rather limited). Abe's father, Abe Yoshitō, studied the Chinese classics under Shiki's maternal grandfather, Ōhara Kanzan, and his family closely associated with Shiki's mother, uncles and cousins. Yoshitō the doctor even saved Shiki's life when he suffered from cholera as a fourteen-year-old. Abe also talks about Sōseki's jestful description of Shiki as a "nikui otoko," (hateful, or headstrong person) which, together with other comparative observations of them which Abe makes, adds color to his characterization of Shiki. Beneath the tone of characteristic Confucian austerity, we get glimpses of Abe's warm feelings and pride about Shiki's achievement as a native of Matsuyama. Through a reading of this very personal, meandering essay, and Sōseki's short piece titled "Masaoka Shiki," this paper tries to take stock of the figure of Shiki as he appeared to Abe and others, as well as of the homosocial cultural milieu of which Shiki, Sōseki, and Abe Yoshishige were a part in the late nineteenth century

    ABE Cubed: Advanced Benchmarking Extensions for ABE Squared

    No full text
    Since attribute-based encryption (ABE) was proposed in 2005, it has established itself as a valuable tool in the enforcement of access control. For practice, it is important that ABE satisfies many desirable properties such as multi-authority and negations support. Nowadays, we can attain these properties simultaneously, but none of these schemes have been implemented. Furthermore, although simpler schemes have been optimized extensively on a structural level, there is still much room for improvement for these more advanced schemes. However, even if we had schemes with such structural improvements, we would not have a way to benchmark and compare them fairly to measure the effect of such improvements. The only framework that aims to achieve this goal, ABE Squared (TCHES \u2722), was designed with simpler schemes in mind. In this work, we propose the ABE Cubed framework, which provides advanced benchmarking extensions for ABE Squared. To motivate our framework, we first apply structural improvements to the decentralized ciphertext-policy ABE scheme supporting negations presented by Riepel, Venema and Verma (ACM CCS \u2724), which results in five new schemes with the same properties. We use these schemes to uncover and bridge the gaps in the ABE Squared framework. In particular, we observe that advanced schemes depend on more variables that affect the schemes\u27 efficiency in different dimensions. Whereas ABE Squared only considered one dimension (as was sufficient for the schemes considered there), we devise a benchmarking strategy that allows us to analyze the schemes in multiple dimensions. As a result, we obtain a more complete overview on the computational efficiency of the schemes, and ultimately, this allows us to make better-founded choices about which schemes provide the best efficiency trade-offs for practice

    Registered ABE via Predicate Encodings

    No full text
    This paper presents the first generic black-box construction of registered attribute-based encryption (Reg-ABE) via predicate encoding [TCC\u2714]. The generic scheme is based on kk-Lin assumption in the prime-order bilinear group and implies the following concrete schemes that improve existing results: - the first Reg-ABE scheme for span program in the prime-order group; prior work uses composite-order group; - the first Reg-ABE scheme for zero inner-product predicate from kk-Lin assumption; prior work relies on generic group model (GGM); - the first Reg-ABE scheme for arithmetic branching program (ABP) which has not been achieved previously. Technically, we follow the blueprint of Hohenberger et al. [EUROCRYPT\u2723] but start from the prime-order dual-system ABE by Chen et al. [EUROCRYPT\u2715], which transforms a predicate encoding into an ABE. The proof follows the dual-system method in the context of Reg-ABE: we conceptually consider helper keys as secret keys; furthermore, malicious public keys are handled via pairing-based quasi-adaptive non-interactive zero-knowledge argument by Kiltz and Wee [EUROCRYPT\u2715]

    Multi-Authority ABE, Revisited

    No full text
    Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a cryptographic primitive which supports fine-grained access control on encrypted data, making it an appealing building block for many applications. Multi-Authority Attribute-Based Encryption (MA-ABE) is a generalization of ABE where the central authority is distributed across several independent parties. We provide the first MA-ABE scheme from prime-order pairings where no trusted setup is needed and where the attribute universe of each authority is unbounded. Our constructions rely on a common modular blueprint that uses an Identity-Based Functional Encryption scheme for inner products (ID-IPFE) as an underlying primitive. Our presentation leads to simple proofs of security and brings new insight into the algebraic design choices that seem common to existing schemes. In particular, the well-known MA-ABE construction by Lewko and Waters (EUROCRYPT 2011) can be seen as a specific instantiation of our modular construction. Our schemes enjoy all of their advantageous features, and the improvements mentioned. Furthermore, different instantiations of the core ID-IPFE primitive lead to various security/efficiency trade-offs: we propose an adaptively secure construction proven in the generic group model and a selectively secure one that relies on SXDH. As in previous work, we rely on a hash function (to generate matching randomness for the same user across different authorities while preserving collusion resistance) that is modeled as a random oracle
