List-Decoding Using The XOR Lemma
We show that Yao’s XOR Lemma, and its essentially equivalent rephrasing as a Direct Product Lemma, can be re-interpreted as a way of obtaining error-correcting codes with good l...

Bounded-Concurrent Secure Two-Party Computation in a Constant Number of Rounds
We consider the problem of constructing a general protocol for secure two-party computation in a way that preserves security under concurrent composition. In our treatment, we foc...

Always Good Turing: Asymptotically Optimal Probability Estimation
While deciphering the Enigma Code during World War II, I.J. Good and A.M. Turing considered the problem of estimating a probability distribution from a sample of data. They derive...

On Certain Connectivity Properties of the Internet Topology
We show that random graphs in the preferential connectivity model have constant conductance, and hence have worst-case routing congestion that scales logarithmically with the numb...

Zero-Knowledge Sets
We show how a polynomial-time prover can commit to an arbitrary finite set Ë of strings so that, later on, he can, for any string Ü, reveal with a proof whether Ü ¾ Ë or Ü ...

General Composition and Universal Composability in Secure Multi-Party Computation
Concurrent general composition relates to a setting where a secure protocol is run in a network concurrently with other, arbitrary protocols. Clearly, security in such a setting i...

Towards a Characterization of Truthful Combinatorial Auctions
This paper analyzes implementable social choice functions (in dominant strategies) over restricted domains of preferences, the leading example being combinatorial auctions. Our wo...
