Randomness as a resource for design
Randomness is being harnessed in the design of some interactive systems. This is observed in random blogs, random web searching, and in particular Apple's iPod Shuffle. Yet t...

On Constructing Locally Computable Extractors and Cryptosystems in the Bounded Storage Model
We consider the problem of constructing randomness extractors that are locally computable; that is, read only a small number of bits from their input. As recently shown by Lu (thi...

A Theorem on Sensitivity and Applications in Private Computation
In this paper we prove a theorem that gives an (almost) tight upper bound on the sensitivity of a multiple-output Boolean function in terms of the sensitivity of its coordinates an...
