We describe a new approach for the problem of finding rigid matrices, as posed by Valiant [Val77], by connecting it to the, seemingly unrelated, problem of proving lower bounds f...
An (r, , )-locally decodable code encodes a k-bit message x to an N-bit codeword C(x), such that for every i [k], the i-th message bit can be recovered with probability 1 - , by ...
Locally Decodable Code (LDC) is a code that encodes a message in a way that one can decode any particular symbol of the message by reading only a constant number of locations, eve...
In this paper we introduce the notion of a Public-Key Encryption Scheme that is also a Locally-Decodable Error-Correcting Code (PKLDC). In particular, we allow any polynomialtime ...
Locally Decodable Codes (LDC) allow one to decode any particular symbol of the input message by making a constant number of queries to a codeword, even if a constant fraction of t...
