PRG - Stronger NotionPRG - Stronger Notion
Def: A deterministic polynomial-time algorithm G is
called a non-uniformly strong pseudorandom generator if there exists a stretching function l: N N, so that for any family {Ck} of polynomial-size circuits, for any polynomial p, and for all sufficiently large k’s
|Pr[Ck(G(Uk))=1]-Pr[Ck(Ul(k))=1]| < 1/p(k)This definition involves polynomial size
circuits as distinguishers instead of probabilistic polynomial time TM. Recall
that BPP P/poly

Proof: Suppose LBPP. Let A(x,r) be the machine that decides L: x is the input and r is the sequence of coin tosses of the machine. r is of size l(|x|).Define a new algorithm A’ as follows:
A’(x,r) := A(x,G(r))
WhereWe can construct such A thatuses exactly l(|x|) coin tosses

Proof Continued (1)Proof Continued (1)
Claim: For all but finitely many x’s|Pr[A(x,Ul(k))=1] - Pr[A’(x, Uk)=1]| < 1/6
where k=|x|.Proof: Assume, by way of contradiction, that, for
infinitely many x’s|Pr[A(x,Ul(k))=1] - Pr[A’(x, Uk)=1]| 1/6
and construct a family of poly-size circuitsxC(x)(input) := A(x,input)
then construct the family {Ck} as follows:
Ck {C(x)| A(x) uses l(k) coin tosses}
Infinitely many x’s on which A and A’ differ imply infinitely manysizes of x’s on which they differ, and infinite number of such Cks.

Proof Continued (2)Proof Continued (2)
For each such Ck:
Ck(G(Uk)) A’(x,Uk) and Ck(Ul(k)) A(x,Ul(k))
Hence we have a family of circuits s.t.|Pr[Ck(G(Uk))=1]-Pr[Ck(Ul(k))=1]| 1/6
In contradiction to the definition of our pseudorandom generator. claim

Proof Continued (3)Proof Continued (3)
Going back to proving the theorem:A is our BPP machine so for every x:
x L Pr[A(x,Ul(k)) = 1] 2/3
x L Pr[A(x,Ul(k)) = 1] < 1/3
In particular, using the claim we get for all but finitely many x’s: x L Pr[A’(x,Uk) = 1] > Pr[A(x,Ul(k)) = 1]-1/6 1/2
x L Pr[A’(x,Uk) = 1] < Pr[A(x,Ul(k)) = 1]+1/6 < 1/2

Proof Continued (4)Proof Continued (4)
Now, define a deterministic algorithm A’’ for deciding L:
if x is one of those finitely x’s
return a known pre-computed answer
else {
for all
Run A’(x,r)
return the majority of A’ answers.
}
A’’ deterministically decides L and run in time as required. Theorem

Goal: to design a new PRG construction, which would be used for derandomization
New Method: generate random bits in parallel, instead of sequentially (compare with the “Pseudo Random Generators” lecture)
Different Assumptions: weaker then before, since the new PRG can run in time exponential in its input size: Assume an unpredictable Boolean
function.New Construct: called Design; consisting of
nearly disjoint subsets of the random seed.
New notion of PRGNew notion of PRG
9
New notion of PRGNew notion of PRG
The new requirements for PRG:Indistinguishable by polynomial-size circuit.Can run in exponential time (2O(k) on k-bit seed).
One can construct such PRG under seemingly weaker assumption (than for the construction shown in the “Pseudo Random Generators” lecture):
The existence of unpredictable Boolean function.
For k=O(log(|x|)) it runsin polynomial-time.
Instead of assuming the existence of one-way permutation.
10
Unpredictable Boolean functionUnpredictable Boolean function
Def (Unpredictable Boolean function): An exp(l)-computable Boolean function b:
{0,1}l{0,1}is unpredictable by small circuits if for every polynomial p(.), for all sufficiently large l’s and for every circuits C of size p(l):
Pr[C(Ul)=b(Ul)] < ½+1/p(l)
Assume such Boolean functions exist
11
Unpredictable Boolean functionUnpredictable Boolean function
How strong is that assumption?We prove that it is not stronger than assuming the
existence of a one-way permutation:
Claim: if f0 is a one-way permutation and b0 is a hard-core of f0, then b(x):=b0(f0
-1(x)) is an unpredictable Boolean function.
?one-way permutation unpredictable Boolean
function
12
One way permutation One way permutation unpredictable unpredictable Boolean functionBoolean function
Proof:Let f0 be a one-way permutation and b0 a hard-core of f0.
We’ll show the function b(x):=b0(f-10(x)) is an
unpredictable Boolean function.
f0 can be inverted in exponential time and b0 can be computed in polynomial time so b is computable in exponential time.
Unpredictability: Assume, by way of contradiction, that b is predictable.We’ll show the b0 is not hard-core bit of f0.
13
Proof continuedProof continued
Assuming b is predictable we have a family of circuits {Ck} of size p(k) s.t. for infinite number of k’s
Pr[Ck(Uk)=b(Uk)] 1/2 + 1/p(l).
For y:=f0-1
(x) we get b(f0(y))=b0(y).
f is a permutation so we get Pr[Ck(f0(Uk))=b(f0(Uk))] 1/2 + 1/p(l)
Pr[Ck(f0(Uk))=b0(Uk)] 1/2 + 1/p(l).
Which is a contradiction to b0 being a hard core.We defined hard-core bit with BPP machines andnot P/poly so there is a problem here !

The DesignThe Design
Generating a single random bit from a seed is easy assuming you have an unpredictable Boolean function.
But how can we generate more than one bit?We will manage that, utlizing a collection of nearly
disjoined subsets of the seed to get random bits that are almost mutually independent
Almost means: indistinguishable by polynomial
sized circuits

Proof Proof (1)(1)
Proof:
Computing G(s) takes time exponential in k, since:
we have m=l(k) computations of b(S[Ii]);
Computing each b(S[Ii]) takes exp( |S[Ii]| ) = O(exp(k)).
20
Proof Proof (2)(2)
we will show that no small circuit can distinguish the output of G from a random sequence.
Assume by way of contradiction that there exists a family of poly-size circuits {Ck}kN and a polynomial p(.) such that for infinitely many k’s
| Pr[Ck(G(Uk)) = 1] - Pr[Ck(Ul(k))=1] | > 1/p(k)
Without loss of generality we can remove the absolute sign.
There are infinitely many k’s s.t. Pr[Ck(G(Uk)) = 1] - Pr[Ck(Ul(k))=1]has the same sign for all k, however, we can fix the sign arbitrarilysince we can take a sequence of circuits with reverse signs.
21
Using a Hybrid Distribution - proof Using a Hybrid Distribution - proof (3)(3)
For any 0 i m we define a “hybrid” distribution as follows: the first i bits are chosen to be the first i bits of G(Uk) and the other m-i bits are chosen uniformly at random.
Hik G(Uk)[1,…,i]
Um-i
also
fk(i) Pr[Ck(Hki)=1]
Using these definitions we can write:
fk(m) - fk(0) > 1/p(k)
there must be some 0 ik m s.t:
fk(ik+1) - fk(ik) > 1/m * 1/p(k)
22
ApproximatingApproximating the Next bit from the Next bit from the previous bitsthe previous bits
Defining p’(k):=mp(k) and i:=ik we get:
Pr[Ck(Hki+1)=1]- Pr[Ck(Hk
i)=1] > 1/p’(k)
Now, we can construct from Ck a circuit C’k which can approximate the next bit with large enough probability:
When Ri are independent uniformly distributed bits.
It can be shown that
Pr[C’k(G(Uk)[1,…i] ) = G(Uk)i+1] > 1/2 + 1/p’(k)

This can be done by ‘ignoring’ those new inputs and using b(S[I1]),…, b(S[Ii]) and C’. The formal definition is:
C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i]) := C’k(G(S)[1..i])
We get:
Prs[C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i] ) = G(S)i+1] > 1/2 + 1/p’(k)

Prs[C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i] ) = b(S[Ii+1]) | S[Ii+1]= ] > 1/2 + 1/p’(k)
We’ll hard-code this into our circuit and get a circuit that takes b(S[I1]),…, b(S[Ii]) and S[Ii+1] as inputs and approximate b(S[Ii+1]) with some bias.
Applying the Law of Averages:Pr[C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i] ) = b(S[Ii+1])] =
Pr [C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i] ) = b(S[Ii+1]) | S[Ii+1]= ]•Pr[S[Ii+1]= ] If for all : Pr [C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i] ) = b(S[Ii+1]) | S[Ii+1]= ] 1/2+1/p’(k)We’d get Pr[C’’k(S°G(S)[1..i] ) = b(S[Ii+1])] 1/2+1/p’(k).

For the following parameters:

m = poly(k) Let F:=GF(l) then |FF| = k There is a 1-1 correspondence between {1,…,k}
and FF For every polynomial p(.) of degree d over F, Ip is

Second Design Construction: using Second Design Construction: using GF(l) arithmeticGF(l) arithmetic
For every two polynomials p(.)q(.) of degree d intersects in at most d points, hence:
|Ip Iq| d
by the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, hence we can choose d=O(log(k)).
Note that for every polynomial m(k) we can construct m(k)= m(l2) such sets, since there are |F|d+1 = ld+1 polynomials over GF(l), so by choosing an appropriate d the number of sets is greater then m(l2).
The sets are constructible in exponential in k, since we use simple arithmetic over GF(l).
