Welcome to the resource topic for 2007/076

Title:
Almost Secure (1-Round, n-Channel) Message Transmission Scheme

Authors: Kaoru Kurosawa, Kazuhiro Suzuki

Abstract:

It is known that perfectly secure (1-round, n-channel) message transmission (MT) schemes exist if and only if n \geq 3t+1, where t is the number of channels that the adversary can corrupt. Then does there exist an {\it almost} secure MT scheme for n=2t+1 ? In this paper, we first sum up a number flaws of the previous {\it almost} secure MT scheme presented at Crypto 2004. (The authors already noted in thier presentation at Crypto’2004 that their scheme was flawed.) We next show an equivalence between almost secure MT schemes and secret sharing schemes with cheaters. By using our equivalence, we derive a lower bound on the communication complexity of almost secure MT schemes. Finally, we present a near optimum scheme which meets our bound approximately. This is the first construction of provably secure almost secure (1-round, n-channel) MT schemes for n=2t+1.
