Title:
Tight Lower Bound on Linear Authenticated Encryption

Authors: Charanjit S. Jutla

Abstract:

We show that any scheme
to encrypt m blocks of size n bits while assuring
message integrity,
that
apart from using m+k invocations of
random functions (from n bits
to n bits) and vn bits of randomness, is linear in (GF2)^n,
must have k+v at least Omega(log m).
This lower bound is proved in a very general model which rules
out many promising linear modes of operations for encryption
with message integrity.
This lower bound is
tight as linear
schemes to encrypt m blocks while
assuring message integrity by using only m+2+log m invocations
are known.
of random permutations.
