Varun Madathil, Chris Orsini, Alessandra Scafuro, and Daniele Venturi. From Privacy-Only to Simulatable OT: Black-Box, Round-Optimal, Information-Theoretic. In 3rd Conference on Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC 2022). Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs), Volume 230, pp. 5:1-5:20, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (2022) https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.ITC.2022.5

Abstract

We present an information-theoretic transformation from any 2-round OT protocol with only game-based security in the presence of malicious adversaries into a 4-round (which is known to be optimal) OT protocol with simulation-based security in the presence of malicious adversaries.
Our transform is the first satisfying all of the following properties at the same time:  
- It is in the plain model, without requiring any setup assumption. 
- It only makes black-box usage of the underlying OT protocol. 
- It is information-theoretic, as it does not require any further cryptographic assumption (besides the existence of the underlying OT protocol).  Additionally, our transform yields a cubic improvement in communication complexity over the best previously known transformation.
