Non-malleable extractors and symmetric key cryptography from weak secrets
We study the question of basing symmetric key cryptography on weak secrets. In this setting, Alice and Bob share an n-bit secret W, which might not be uniformly random, but the ad...

Kakeya Sets, New Mergers and Old Extractors
A merger is a probabilistic procedure which extracts the randomness out of any (arbitrarily correlated) set of random variables, as long as one of them is uniform. Our main result...

A biologically inspired generation of virtual characters
A number of techniques for generating geometric models of human head and body are in use nowadays. Models of human characters are useful in computer games, virtual reality, and ma...

Noise Tolerance of Expanders and Sublinear Expander Reconstruction
We consider the problem of online sublinear expander reconstruction and its relation to random walks in “noisy” expanders. Given access to an adjacency list representation of ...
