Title:
Impossibility of VBB Obfuscation with Ideal Constant-Degree Graded Encodings
Authors: Rafael Pass, abhi shelat
Abstract:A celebrated result by Barak et al (JACM’12) shows the impossibility of general-purpose virtual black-box (VBB) obfuscation in the plain model. A recent work by Canetti, Kalai, and Paneth (TCC’15) extends this result also to the random oracle model (assuming trapdoor per- mutations). In contrast, Brakerski-Rothblum (TCC’15) and Barak et al (EuroCrypt’14) show that in idealized graded encoding models, general-purpose VBB obfuscation indeed is possible; these construction require graded encoding schemes that enable evaluating high-degree (polynomial in the size of the circuit to be obfuscated) polynomials on encodings. We show a complementary impossibility of general-purpose VBB obfuscation in idealized graded encoding models that enable only evaluation of constant-degree polynomials (assuming trapdoor permutations).
