On Probabilistic versus Deterministic Provers in the Definition of Proofs Of Knowledge
Abstract. This article points out a gap between two natural formulations of the concept of a proof of knowledge, and shows that in all natural cases (e.g., NP-statements) this gap ...

New Locally Decodable Codes and Private Information Retrieval Schemes
A q query Locally Decodable Code (LDC) encodes an n-bit message x as an N-bit codeword C(x), such that one can probabilistically recover any bit xi of the message by querying only...

Hardness of Directed Routing with Congestion
Given a graph G and a collection of source-sink pairs in G, what is the least integer c such that each source can be connected by a path to its sink, with at most c paths going th...

A Note on Adaptivity in Testing Properties of Bounded Degree Graphs
We show that in the bounded degree model for graph property testing, adaptivity is essential. An algorithm is non-adaptive if it makes all queries to the input before receiving an...
