Description
We provide constructions of multilinear groups equipped with natural hard problems from indistinguishability obfuscation, homomorphic encryption, and NIZKs. This complements known results on the constructions of indistinguishability obfuscators from multilinear maps in the reverse direction.<br/> We provide two distinct, but closely related constructions and show that multilinear analogues of the DDH assumption hold for them. Our first construction is \emph{symmetric} and comes with a k-linear map e : G^k --> G_T for prime-order groups G and G_T. To establish the hardness of the k-linear DDH problem, we rely on the existence of a base group for which the (k - 1)-strong DDH assumption holds. Our second construction is for the \emph{asymmetric} setting, where e : G_1 x ... x G_k --> G_T for a collection of k + 1 prime-order groups G_i and G_T, and relies only on the standard DDH assumption in its base group. In both constructions the linearity k can be set to any arbitrary but a priori fixed polynomial value in the security parameter. We rely on a number of powerful tools in our constructions: (probabilistic) indistinguishability obfuscation, dual-mode NIZK proof systems (with perfect soundness, witness indistinguishability and zero knowledge), and additively homomorphic encryption for the group Z_N^{+}. At a high level, we enable "bootstrapping" multilinear assumptions from their simpler counterparts in standard cryptographic groups, and show the equivalence of IO and multilinear maps under the existence of the aforementioned primitives.

Schéma de signature à clé publique : Frobénius-UOV
Orateur : Gilles Macario-Rat - Orange
L'exposé présente un schéma de signature à clé publique post-quantique inspiré du schéma UOV et introduisant un nouvel outil : les formes de Frobénius. L'accent est mis sur le rôle et les propriétés des formes de Frobénius dans ce nouveau schéma : la simplicité de description, la facilité de mise en oeuvre et le gain inédit sur les tailles de signature et de clé qui bat RSA-2048 au niveau de[…] -
