Abstract
In this work, we introduce and construct D-restricted Functional Encryption (FE) for any constant \(D \ge 3\), based only on the SXDH assumption over bilinear groups. This generalizes the notion of 3-restricted FE recently introduced and constructed by Ananth et al. (ePrint 2018) in the generic bilinear group model.
A \(D=(d+2)\)-restricted FE scheme is a secret key FE scheme that allows an encryptor to efficiently encrypt a message of the form \(M=(\varvec{x},\varvec{y},\varvec{z})\). Here, \(\varvec{x}\in \mathbb {F}_{\mathbf {p}}^{d\times n}\) and \(\varvec{y},\varvec{z}\in \mathbb {F}_{\mathbf {p}}^n\). Function keys can be issued for a function \(f=\varSigma _{\varvec{I}= (i_1,..,i_d,j,k)}\ c_{\varvec{I}}\cdot \varvec{x}[1,i_1] \cdots \varvec{x}[d,i_d] \cdot \varvec{y}[j]\cdot \varvec{z}[k]\) where the coefficients \(c_{\varvec{I}}\in \mathbb {F}_{\mathbf {p}}\). Knowing the function key and the ciphertext, one can learn \(f(\varvec{x},\varvec{y},\varvec{z})\), if this value is bounded in absolute value by some polynomial in the security parameter and n. The security requirement is that the ciphertext hides \(\varvec{y}\) and \(\varvec{z}\), although it is not required to hide \(\varvec{x}\). Thus \(\varvec{x}\) can be seen as a public attribute.
D-restricted FE allows for useful evaluation of constant-degree polynomials, while only requiring the SXDH assumption over bilinear groups. As such, it is a powerful tool for leveraging hardness that exists in constant-degree expanding families of polynomials over \(\mathbb {R}\). In particular, we build upon the work of Ananth et al. to show how to build indistinguishability obfuscation (\(i\mathcal {O}\)) assuming only SXDH over bilinear groups, LWE, and assumptions relating to weak pseudorandom properties of constant-degree expanding polynomials over \(\mathbb {R}\).
This paper is a merge of two independent works, one by Jain and Sahai, and the other by Lin and Matt.
