Luby-Rackoff Ciphers from Weak Round Functions?
The Feistel-network is a popular structure underlying many block-ciphers where the cipher is constructed from many simpler rounds, each defined by some function which is derived fr...

Extracting All the Randomness from a Weakly Random Source
In this paper, we give two explicit constructions of extractors, both of which work for a source of any min-entropy on strings of length n. The rst extracts any constant fraction ...

Simple Extractors via Constructions of Cryptographic Pseudo-random Generators
Trevisan has shown that constructions of pseudo-random generators from hard functions (the Nisan-Wigderson approach) also produce extractors. We show that constructions of pseudo-r...

The complexity of constructing pseudorandom generators from hard functions
We study the complexity of constructing pseudorandom generators (PRGs) from hard functions, focussing on constant-depth circuits. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1}l...

Hardness Preserving Constructions of Pseudorandom Functions
We show a hardness-preserving construction of a PRF from any length doubling PRG which improves upon known constructions whenever we can put a non-trivial upper bound q on the numb...
