Everywhere Ramified Towers of Global Function Fields
We construct a tower of function fields F0 ⊂ F1 ⊂ . . . over a finite field such that every place of every Fi ramifies in the tower and lim genus(Fi)/[Fi : F0] < ∞. We...

Symplectic Spreads and Permutation Polynomials
Every symplectic spread of PG(3, q), or equivalently every ovoid of Q(4, q), is shown to give a certain family of permutation polynomials of GF(q) and conversely. This leads to an...

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 ...
