Title:
Constrained Pseudorandom Functions for Inner-Product Predicates from Weaker Assumptions

Authors: Sacha Servan-Schreiber

Abstract:

In this paper, we build a framework for constructing Constrained Pseudorandom Functions (CPRFs) with inner-product constraint predicates, using ideas from subtractive secret sharing and related-key-attack security.

Our framework can be instantiated using a random oracle or any suitable Related-Key-Attack (RKA) secure pseudorandom function. We provide three instantiations of our framework:

  1. an adaptively-secure construction in the random oracle model;
  2. a selectively-secure construction under the DDH assumption; and
  3. a selectively-secure construction under the assumption that one-way functions exist.

All three instantiations are constraint-hiding and support inner-product predicates, leading to
the first constructions of such expressive CPRFs under each corresponding assumption. Moreover, while the OWF-based construction is primarily of theoretical interest, the random oracle and DDH-based constructions are concretely efficient, which we show via an implementation.
