Non-malleable extractors and symmetric key cryptography from weak secrets
We study the question of basing symmetric key cryptography on weak secrets. In this setting, Alice and Bob share an n-bit secret W, which might not be uniformly random, but the ad...

Extractors and condensers from univariate polynomials
We give new constructions of randomness extractors and lossless condensers that are optimal to within constant factors in both the seed length and the output length. For extractor...

An Improved Robust Fuzzy Extractor
We consider the problem of building robust fuzzy extractors, which allow two parties holding similar random variables W, W to agree on a secret key R in the presence of an active ...

Kakeya Sets, New Mergers and Old Extractors
A merger is a probabilistic procedure which extracts the randomness out of any (arbitrarily correlated) set of random variables, as long as one of them is uniform. Our main result...

Detection of Algebraic Manipulation with Applications to Robust Secret Sharing and Fuzzy Extractors
Consider an abstract storage device (G) that can hold a single element x from a fixed, publicly known finite group G. Storage is private in the sense that an adversary does not hav...
