Title:
New Notions of Security: Achieving Universal Composability without Trusted Setup

Authors: Manoj Prabhakaran, Amit Sahai

Abstract:

We propose a modification to the framework of Universally Composable (UC) security [Canetti’01]. Our new notion, involves comparing the protocol executions with an ideal execution involving ideal functionalities (just as in UC-security), but allowing the environment and adversary access to some super-polynomial computational power. We argue the meaningfulness of the new notion, which in particular subsumes many of the traditional notions of security.

We generalize the Universal Composition theorem of [Canetti’01] to the new setting. Then under new computational assumptions, we realize secure multi-party computation (for static adversaries) without a common reference string or any other set-up assumptions, in the new framework. This is known to be impossible under the UC framework.
