Title:
Oblivious Transfers and Intersecting Codes
Authors: Gilles Brassard, Claude Crepeau, Miklos Santha
Abstract:Assume A owns t secret k-bit strings.
She is willing to disclose one of them to B, at his choosing,
provided he does not learn anything about the other strings.
Conversely, B does not want A to learn which secret he chose to learn.
A protocol for the above task is said to implement
One-out-of-t String Oblivious Transfer. An apparently simpler task
corresponds to the case k=1 and t=2 of two one-bit secrets:
this is known as One-out-of-two Bit OT.
We address the question of implementing the former assuming the
existence of the later.
In particular, we prove that the general protocol can be implemented from
O(tk) calls to One-out-of-two Bit OT. This is
optimal up to a small multiplicative constant.
Our solution is based on the notion of self-intersecting codes.
Of independent interest, we give several efficient new constructions for
such codes.
Another contribution of this paper is a set
of information-theoretic definitions for correctness and
privacy of unconditionally-secure oblivious transfer.
