Chapter 7: Composability

Continue on zero-knowledge proof

Let X=(G_0,G_1) and y=\sigma permutation. \sigma(G_0)=G_1.

P is a random \Pi permutation and H=\Pi(G_0).

P sends H to V.

V sends a random b\in\{0,1\} to P.

P sends \phi=\Pi if b=0 and \phi=\Pi\phi^{-1} if b=1.

V outputs accept if \phi(G_0)=G_1 and reject otherwise.

Message transfer protocol

The message transfer protocol is defined as follow.

Construct a simulator S(x,z) based on V^*(x,z).

Pick b'\gets\{0,1\}.

\Pi\gets \mathbb{P}_n and H\gets \Pi(G_0).

If V^* sends b=b', we send $\Pi$/ output $V^*$'s output

Otherwise, we start over. Go back to the beginning state. Do this until "n" successive accept.'

Zero-knowledge definition (Cont.)

In zero-knowledge definition. We need the simulator S to have expected running time polynomial in n.

Expected two trials for each "success"

2*n running time (one interaction)


\{Out_{V^*}[S(x,z)\leftrightarrow V^*(x,z)]\}=\{Out_{V^*}[P(x,y)\leftrightarrow V^*(x,z)]\}

If G_0 and G_1 are indistinguishable, H_s=\Pi(G_{b'}) same distribution as H_p=\Pi(G_0). (random permutation of G_1 is a random permutation of G_0)
