HMAC is a randomness extractor and applications to TLS
In this paper, we study the security of a practical randomness extractor and its application in the tls standard. Randomness extraction is the first stage of key derivation functi...

Kolmogorov Complexity in Randomness Extraction
We clarify the role of Kolmogorov complexity in the area of randomness extraction. We show that a computable function is an almost randomness extractor if and only if it is a Kolm...
