Randomized Quicksort and the Entropy of the Random Source
Abstract. The worst-case complexity of an implementation of Quicksort depends on the random number generator that is used to select the pivot elements. In this paper we estimate th...

On the (Im)possibility of Cryptography with Imperfect Randomness
We investigate the feasibility of a variety of cryptographic tasks with imperfect randomness. The kind of imperfect randomness we consider are entropy sources, such as those consi...

Random Number Generators Founded on Signal and Information Theory
The strength of a cryptographic function depends on the amount of entropy in the cryptovariables that are used as keys. Using a large key length with a strong algorithm is false co...

Design of Testable Random Bit Generators
Abstract. In this paper, the evaluation of random bit generators for security applications is discussed and the concept of stateless generator is introduced. It is shown how, for t...
