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...

True Random Number Generators Secure in a Changing Environment
A true random number generator (TRNG) usually consists of two components: an “unpredictable” source with high entropy, and a randomness extractor — a function which, when app...

Kolmogorov Complexity in Randomness Extraction
We clarify the role of Kolmogorov complexity in the area of randomness extraction. We show that a computable function is an almost randomness extractor if and only if it is a Kolm...
