Extractors and Lower Bounds for Locally Samplable Sources
We consider the problem of extracting randomness from sources that are efficiently samplable, in the sense that each output bit of the sampler only depends on some small number d ...

On extracting common random bits from correlated sources
Suppose Alice and Bob receive strings of unbiased independent but noisy bits from some random source. They wish to use their respective strings to extract a common sequence of ran...

The Complexity of Distributions
Complexity theory typically studies the complexity of computing a function h(x) : {0, 1}m {0, 1}n of a given input x. A few works have suggested to study the complexity of genera...

Private Computation: k-Connected versus 1-Connected Networks
We study the role of connectivity of communication networks in private computations under information theoretic settings. It will be shown that some functions can be computed by pr...

The probability of "undefined" (non-converging) output in generating the universal probability distribution
In order to generate a universal probability distribution to extrapolate a binary string x of length i, we feed random bits into a universal device, M. When we find an input strin...

On the Role of Shared Entanglement
Despite the apparent similarity between shared randomness and shared entanglement in the context of Communication Complexity, our understanding of the latter is not as good as of ...

An embedded true random number generator for FPGAs
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an increasingly popular choice of platform for the implementation of cryptographic systems. Until recently, designers using FPGAs had le...

Online Conflict-Free Colorings for Hypergraphs
We provide a framework for online conflict-free coloring (CF-coloring) of any hypergraph. We use this framework to obtain an efficient randomized online algorithm for CF-coloring ...

Probabilistic Checking of Proofs; A New Characterization of NP
We give a new characterization of NP: the class NP contains exactly those languages L for which membership proofs (a proof that an input x is in L) can be verified probabilisticall...

Characterizing Linear Size Circuits in Terms of Privacy
In this paper we prove a perhaps unexpected relationship between the complexity class of the boolean functions that have linear size circuits, and n-party private protocols. Speci...
