An efficient pseudo-random generator provably as secure as syndrome decoding

TLDR
A simple and efficient construction of a pseudo-random generator based on the intractability of an NP-complete problem from the area of error-correcting codes that generates a linear amount of bits in only quadratic computing time is shown.
Abstract
We show a simple and efficient construction of a pseudo-random generator based on the intractability of an NP-complete problem from the area of error-correcting codes. The generalor is proved as secure as a hard instance of the syndrome decoding problem. Each application of the scheme generates a linear amount of bits in only quadratic computing time.

Pseudorandom knapsacks and the sample complexity of LWE search-to-decision reductions

TL;DR: In this paper, the pseudorandomness of bounded knapsack functions over arbitrary finite abelian groups was studied and the main technical contribution of this paper is a new, general theorem that provides sufficient conditions under which pseudorance of bounded k-knapsack function follows directly from their one-wayness.

On the inherent intractability of certain coding problems (Corresp.)

TL;DR: The fact that the general decoding problem for linear codes and the general problem of finding the weights of a linear code are both NP-complete is shown strongly suggests, but does not rigorously imply, that no algorithm for either of these problems which runs in polynomial time exists.
