We investigate balls-and-bins processes where m weighted balls are placed into n bins using the "power of two choices" paradigm, whereby a ball is inserted into the less...
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

We consider the problem of randomness extraction from independent sources. We construct an extractor that can extract from a constant number of independent sources of length n, ea...
We introduce the novel concept of covert two-party computation. Whereas ordinary secure two-party computation only guarantees that no more knowledge is leaked about the inputs of t...
Conditional functional dependencies (CFDs) have recently been proposed as extensions of classical functional dependencies that apply to a certain subset of the relation, as specif...
