We study the question whether the sequential or parallel composition of two functions, each indistinguishable from a random function by non-adaptive distinguishers is secure agains...
Abstract. A Solovay function is a computable upper bound g for prefixfree Kolmogorov complexity K that is nontrivial in the sense that g agrees with K, up to some additive constan...
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...
Ahlswede and Winter [AW02] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound for real-valued random...
Let f ∈ Fq[x] be a polynomial of degree d ≤ q/2. It is well-known that f can be uniquely recovered from its values at some 2d points even after some small fraction of the valu...
