A true random number generator (TRNG) usually consists of two components: an “unpredictable” source with high entropy, and a randomness extractor — a function which, when app...
Extractors (defined by Nisan and Zuckerman) are procedures that use a small number of truly random bits (called the seed) to extract many (almost) truly random bits from arbitrar...
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

We prove a strong Symmetry of Information relation for random strings (in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity) and establish tight bounds on the amount on nonuniformity that is nec...
An extractor is a function that is used to extract randomness. Given an imperfect random source X and a uniform seed Y , the output (X; Y ) is close to uniform. We study properties...
