Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
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...

Zaps and Their Applications
A zap is a two-round, public coin witness-indistinguishable protocol in which the first round, consisting of a message from the verifier to the prover, can be fixed “once and...

An Analysis of the Height of Tries with Random Weights on the Edges
We analyze the weighted height of random tries built from independent strings of i.i.d. symbols on the finite alphabet {1, . . . , d}. The edges receive random weights whose distr...

Approximating Independent Set in Semi-Random Graphs
We present an algorithm for the independent set problem on semi-random graphs, which are generated as follows: An adversary chooses an n-vertex graph, and then each edge is flipp...

Ring Signatures of Sub-linear Size Without Random Oracles
Ring signatures, introduced by Rivest, Shamir and Tauman, enable a user to sign a message anonymously on behalf of a “ring”. A ring is a group of users, which includes the sign...
