On the Computational Complexity of Coin Flipping
Coin flipping is one of the most fundamental tasks in cryptographic protocol design. Informally, a coin flipping protocol should guarantee both (1) Completeness: an honest executi...

The Width of Random Subsets of Boolean Lattices
Suppose we toss an independent coin with probability of success p for each subset of [n] = {1, . . . , n}, and form the random hypergraph P(n, p) by taking as hyperedges the subse...

An Optimally Fair Coin Toss
We address one of the foundational problems in cryptography: the bias of coin-flipping protocols. Coin-flipping protocols allow mutually distrustful parties to generate a common u...
