If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case, Then it is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Zero-Knowledge
We show new lower bounds and impossibility results for general (possibly non-black-box) zero-knowledge proofs and arguments. Our main results are that, under reasonable complexity...

Formal Analysis of Processor Timing Models
Hard real-time systems need methods to determine upper bounds for their execution times, usually called worst-case execution
