The language compression problem asks for succinct descriptions of the strings in a language A such that the strings can be efficiently recovered from their description when given...
Sequence compression is one of the most promising tools for strengthening pseudo-random generators used in stream ciphers. Indeed, adding compression components can thwart algebrai...
We prove that if strong pseudorandom number generators exist, then the class of languages that have polynomialsized circuits (P/poly) is not measurable within exponential time, in...
Trevisan has shown that constructions of pseudo-random generators from hard functions (the Nisan-Wigderson approach) also produce extractors. We show that constructions of pseudo-r...
The area of derandomization attempts to provide efficient deterministic simulations of randomized algorithms in various algorithmic settings. Goldreich and Wigderson introduced a n...
