Extractors for a constant number of polynomially small min-entropy independent sources
We consider the problem of randomness extraction from independent sources. We construct an extractor that can extract from a constant number of independent sources of length n, ea...

Extracting Randomness from Samplable Distributions
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...

2-Source Extractors under Computational Assumptions and Cryptography with Defective Randomness
Abstract— We show how to efficiently extract truly random bits from two independent sources of linear min-entropy, under a computational assumption. The assumption we rely on is...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

Extractors: optimal up to constant factors
This paper provides the first explicit construction of extractors which are simultaneously optimal up to constant factors in both seed length and output length. More precisely, fo...
