Abstract. This text is an informal review of several randomized algorithms that have appeared over the past two decades and have proved instrumental in extracting efficiently quant...
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...
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...
In this paper we show that any two-party functionality can be securely computed in a constant number of rounds, where security is obtained against malicious adversaries that may ar...
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...
