In this paper we show that every source X having very high min-entropy conditioned on side information Z, can be efficiently simulated from Z. That is, there exists a simulator \(\mathsf {Sim}(\cdot )\) such that (a) it is efficient, (b) \((\mathsf {Sim}(Z),Z)\) and (X, Z) are indistinguishable and (c) the min-entropy of \(\mathsf {Sim}(Z)\) and X given Z is (almost, up to a few bits) the same. Concretely, the simulator achieves \((s,\epsilon )\)-indistinguishability running in time \(s\cdot \mathrm {poly}\left( \frac{1}{\epsilon },2^\varDelta ,|Z|\right) \), where \(\varDelta \) is the entropy deficiency and |Z| is the length of Z.
