Streaming algorithms are algorithms for processing large data streams, using only a limited amount of memory. Classical streaming algorithms operate under the assumption that the input stream is fixed in advance. Recently, there is a growing interest in studying streaming algorithms that provide provable guarantees even when the input stream is chosen by an adaptive adversary. Such streaming algorithms are said to be adversarially-robust. We propose a novel framework for adversarial streaming that hybrids two recently suggested frameworks by Hassidim et al. (2020) and by Woodruff and Zhou (2021). These recently suggested frameworks rely on very different ideas, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. We combine these two frameworks (in a non-trivial way) into a single hybrid framework that gains from both approaches to obtain superior performances for turnstile streams.
