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...

Better extractors for better codes?
We present an explicit construction of codes that can be list decoded from a fraction (1 - ) of errors in sub-exponential time and which have rate / logO(1) (1/). This comes close...

Unbalanced Expanders and Randomness Extractors from Parvaresh-Vardy Codes
We give an improved explicit construction of highly unbalanced bipartite expander graphs with expansion arbitrarily close to the degree (which is polylogarithmic in the number of ...

HMAC is a randomness extractor and applications to TLS
In this paper, we study the security of a practical randomness extractor and its application in the tls standard. Randomness extraction is the first stage of key derivation functi...

Constructive Dimension and Weak Truth-Table Degrees
This paper examines the constructive Hausdorff and packing dimensions of weak truth-table degrees. The main result is that every infinite sequence S with constructive Hausdorff...
