Mixing and non-mixing local minima of the entropy contrast for blind source separation
In this paper, both non-mixing and mixing local minima of the entropy are analyzed from the viewpoint of blind source separation (BSS); they correspond respectively to acceptable a...

Extracting Randomness via Repeated Condensing
Extractors (defined by Nisan and Zuckerman) are procedures that use a small number of truly random bits (called the seed) to extract many (almost) truly random bits from arbitrar...

Why simple hash functions work: exploiting the entropy in a data stream
Hashing is fundamental to many algorithms and data structures widely used in practice. For theoretical analysis of hashing, there have been two main approaches. First, one can ass...

Towards practical biometric key generation with randomized biometric templates
Although biometrics have garnered significant interest as a source of entropy for cryptographic key generation, recent studies indicate that many biometric modalities may not actu...
