The White-Box Adversarial Data Stream Model
Summary: Defines the white-box adversarial streaming model, where the adversary observes the full internal state at every step. Key results: randomized L1-heavy hitters beating Misra-Gries on long streams; cryptographic memory reductions; and lower bounds via two-player communication, revealing a separation between bounded and unbounded adversaries.
