Abstract

In this work, we propose the notion of homomorphic indistinguishability obfuscation (HiO) and present a construction based on subexponentially-secure iO and one-way functions. An HiO scheme allows us to convert an obfuscation of circuit C to an obfuscation of C'∘C, and this can be performed obliviously (that is, without knowing the circuit C). A naïve solution would be to obfuscate C'∘iO(C). However, if we do this for k hops, then the size of the final obfuscation is exponential in k. HiO ensures that the size of the final obfuscation remains polynomial after repeated compositions. As an application, we show how to build function-hiding hierarchical multi-input functional encryption and homomorphic witness encryption using HiO.
