Title:
The GGM Function Family is Weakly One-Way

Authors: Aloni Cohen, Saleet Klein

Abstract:

We give the first demonstration of the cryptographic hardness of the Goldreich-Goldwasser-Micali (GGM) function family when the secret key is exposed. We prove that for any constant \epsilon>0, the GGM family is a 1/n^{2+\epsilon}-weakly one-way family of functions, when the lengths of secret key, inputs, and outputs are equal. Namely, any efficient algorithm fails to invert GGM with probability at least 1/n^{2+\epsilon}, even when given the secret key. Additionally, we state natural conditions under which the GGM family is strongly one-way.
