A fundamental question in cryptography deals with understanding the role that randomness plays in cryptographic protocols and to what extent it is necessary. One particular line o...

Abstract. We introduce a notion of instance-dependent verifiable random functions (InstD-VRFs for short). Informally, an InstD-VRF is, in some sense, a verifiable random function [...
Abstract. We show that only languages in BPP have public-coin, blackbox zero-knowledge protocols that are secure under an unbounded (polynomial) number of parallel repetitions. Thi...

Knowledge extraction is a fundamental notion, modeling machine possession of values (witnesses) in a computational complexity sense and enabling one to argue about the internal st...
A multi-signature scheme enables a group of signers to produce a compact, joint signature on a common document, and has many potential uses. However, existing schemes impose key s...
