Title:
Public Key Cryptography from Different Assumptions

Authors: Boaz Barak, Avi Wigderson

Abstract:

We construct a new public key encryption based on two assumptions: 1) One can obtain a pseudorandom generator with small locality by connecting the outputs to the inputs using any sufficiently good unbalanced expander. 2) It is hard to distinguish between a random graph that is such an expander and a random graph where a (planted) random logarithmic-sized subset S of the outputs is connected to fewer than |S| inputs. The validity and strength of the assumptions raise interesting new algorithmic and pseudorandomness questions, and we explore their relation to the current state-of-art.
