Abstract. We establish new lower bounds and impossibility results for noninteractive zero-knowledge proofs and arguments with set-up assumptions. – For the common random string m...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows scientists to study protein structure, dynamics and interactions in solution. A necessary first step for such applications is ...

Let f : {0, 1}n {0, 1}l be a one-way function. A function h : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m is called a hard-core function for f if, when given f(x) for a (secret) x drawn uniformly from {0, 1}n...
Randomness is a necessary ingredient in various computational tasks and especially in Cryptography, yet many existing mechanisms for obtaining randomness suffer from numerous pro...
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...
