Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...
We introduce and analyze a randomized traitor tracing algorithm for broadcast security. This algorithm is very efficient compared to brute force methods (the mean time it takes is...
Intelligent reasoners sometimes draw conclusions that lack new or relevant information. Similarly, automated reasoning systems can produce formulas that are not necessary for the ...
Linearity tests are randomized algorithms which have oracle access to the truth table of some function f, and are supposed to distinguish between linear functions and functions whi...
