Title:
Chosen-Ciphertext Security from Slightly Lossy Trapdoor Functions
Authors: Petros Mol, Scott Yilek
Abstract:Lossy Trapdoor Functions (LTDFs), introduced by Peikert and Waters (STOC 2008) have been useful for building many cryptographic primitives. In particular, by using an LTDF that loses a (1-1/omega(log n)) fraction of all its input bits, it is possible to achieve CCA security using the LTDF as a black-box. Unfortunately, not all candidate LTDFs achieve such a high level of lossiness. In this paper we drastically improve upon previous results and show that an LTDF that loses only a non-negligible fraction of a single bit can be used in a black-box way to build numerous cryptographic primitives, including one-way injective trapdoor functions, CPA secure public-key encryption (PKE), and CCA-secure PKE. We then describe a novel technique for constructing such slightly-lossy LTDFs and give a construction based on modular squaring.
