Title:
On the Security of KOS

Authors: Benjamin E. Diamond

Abstract:

We present a full proof of security of the original random oblivious transfer extension protocol of Keller, Orsini, and Scholl (CRYPTO '15), without altering that protocol as written. Our result circumvents a recent negative result of Roy (CRYPTO '22), which shows that a key lemma in the original proof of KOS is false. Our proof leverages a new simulation strategy, and a careful analysis of that protocol’s “correlation check”. We thus reestablish evidence of security for this important, widely used protocol.
