Title:
Deniable Encryption

Authors: Ran Canetti, Cynthia Dwork, Moni Naor, Rafi Ostrovsky

Abstract:

Consider a situation in which the transmission of encrypted
messages is intercepted by an adversary who can later
ask the sender to reveal
the random choices (and also the secret key, if one exists)
used in generating
the ciphertext, thereby exposing the cleartext.
An encryption scheme is deniable if the sender can generate
fake random choices' that will make the ciphertext look like’
an encryption of a different cleartext, thus keeping the
real cleartext private.
Analogous requirements can be formulated with respect to
attacking the receiver and with respect to attacking both parties.

In this paper we introduce deniable encryption and propose
constructions of schemes with polynomial deniability. In addition to
being interesting by itself, and having several applications, deniable
encryption provides a simplified and elegant construction of
adaptively secure multiparty computation.
