Derandomization: A Quick Tutorial

Explore a comprehensive tutorial on derandomization, focusing on transforming doubly efficient constant-round interactive protocols into NP-type verifiers with similar time complexity. Delve into the construction of NP-type deterministic argument systems for counting satisfying assignments of large formulas under strong hardness assumptions. Examine the use of targeted pseudorandom generators (tarPRGs) in the interactive protocol setting, drawing parallels to the Fiat-Shamir approach. Learn about the application of complexity-theoretic assumptions that don't necessarily imply one-way functions. Gain insights into recent advancements in derandomization techniques and their implications for cryptography and computational complexity theory.
