Extractors for Low-Weight Affine Sources
We give polynomial time computable extractors for low-weight affince sources. A distribution is affine if it samples a random points from some unknown low dimensional subspace of ...

Address Space Layout Permutation (ASLP): Towards Fine-Grained Randomization of Commodity Software
Address space randomization is an emerging and promising method for stopping a broad range of memory corruption attacks. By randomly shifting critical memory regions at process in...

Analyzing linear mergers
Mergers are functions that transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one of the input sources has minentropy rate ...

Extracting Randomness from Samplable Distributions
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
