Efficient Signature-Free Validated Agreement

Authors: Pierre Civit, Muhammad Ayaz Dzulfikar, Seth Gilbert, Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Manuel Vidigueira, and Igor Zablotchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 319, 38th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2024)


Abstract
Byzantine agreement enables n processes to agree on a common L-bit value, despite up to t > 0 arbitrary failures. A long line of work has been dedicated to improving the bit complexity of Byzantine agreement in synchrony. This has culminated in COOL, an error-free (deterministically secure against a computationally unbounded adversary) solution that achieves O(nL + n² log n) worst-case bit complexity (which is optimal for L ≥ n log n according to the Dolev-Reischuk lower bound). COOL satisfies strong unanimity: if all correct processes propose the same value, only that value can be decided. Whenever correct processes do not agree a priori (there is no unanimity), they may decide a default value ⊥ from COOL. Strong unanimity is, however, not sufficient for today’s state machine replication (SMR) and blockchain protocols. These systems value progress and require a decided value to always be valid (according to a predetermined predicate), excluding default decisions (such as ⊥) even in cases where there is no unanimity a priori. Validated Byzantine agreement satisfies this property (called external validity). Yet, the best error-free (or even signature-free) validated agreement solutions achieve only O(n²L) bit complexity, a far cry from the Ω(nL+n²) Dolev-Reischuk lower bound. Is it possible to bridge this complexity gap? We answer the question affirmatively. Namely, we present two new synchronous algorithms for validated Byzantine agreement, HashExt and ErrorFreeExt, with different trade-offs. Both algorithms are (1) signature-free, (2) optimally resilient (tolerate up to t < n / 3 failures), and (3) early-stopping (terminate in O(f+1) rounds, where f ≤ t denotes the actual number of failures). On the one hand, HashExt uses only hashes and achieves O(nL + n³κ) bit complexity, which is optimal for L ≥ n²κ (where κ is the size of a hash). On the other hand, ErrorFreeExt is error-free, using no cryptography whatsoever, and achieves O((nL + n²)log n) bit complexity, which is near-optimal for any L.

Accountable Secret Leader Election

Authors: Miranda Christ, Kevin Choi, Walter McKelvie, Joseph Bonneau, and Tal Malkin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 316, 6th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2024)


Abstract
We consider the problem of secret leader election with accountability. Secret leader election protocols counter adaptive adversaries by keeping the identities of elected leaders secret until they choose to reveal themselves, but in existing protocols this means it is impossible to determine who was elected leader if they fail to act. This opens the door to undetectable withholding attacks, where leaders fail to act in order to slow the protocol or bias future elections in their favor. We formally define accountability (in weak and strong variants) for secret leader election protocols. We present three paradigms for adding accountability, using delay-based cryptography, enforced key revelation, or threshold committees, all of which ensure that after some time delay the result of the election becomes public. The paradigm can be chosen to balance trust assumptions, protocol efficiency, and the length of the delay before leaders are revealed. Along the way, we introduce several new cryptographic tools including re-randomizable timed commitments and timed VRFs.

Improved Trade-Offs Between Amortization and Download Bandwidth for Linear HSS

Authors: Keller Blackwell and Mary Wootters

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 304, 5th Conference on Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC 2024)


Abstract
A Homomorphic Secret Sharing (HSS) scheme is a secret-sharing scheme that shares a secret x among s servers, and additionally allows an output client to reconstruct some function f(x) using information that can be locally computed by each server. A key parameter in HSS schemes is download rate, which quantifies how much information the output client needs to download from the servers. Often, download rate is improved by amortizing over 𝓁 instances of the problem, making 𝓁 also a key parameter of interest. Recent work [Fosli et al., 2022] established a limit on the download rate of linear HSS schemes for computing low-degree polynomials and constructed schemes that achieve this optimal download rate; their schemes required amortization over 𝓁 = Ω(s log(s)) instances of the problem. Subsequent work [Blackwell and Wootters, 2023] completely characterized linear HSS schemes that achieve optimal download rate in terms of a coding-theoretic notion termed optimal labelweight codes. A consequence of this characterization was that 𝓁 = Ω(s log(s)) is in fact necessary to achieve optimal download rate. In this paper, we characterize all linear HSS schemes, showing that schemes of any download rate are equivalent to a generalization of optimal labelweight codes. This equivalence is constructive and provides a way to obtain an explicit linear HSS scheme from any linear code. Using this characterization, we present explicit linear HSS schemes with slightly sub-optimal rate but with much improved amortization 𝓁 = O(s). Our constructions are based on algebraic geometry codes (specifically Hermitian codes and Goppa codes).

Secure Multiparty Computation of Symmetric Functions with Polylogarithmic Bottleneck Complexity and Correlated Randomness

Authors: Reo Eriguchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 304, 5th Conference on Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC 2024)


Abstract
Bottleneck complexity is an efficiency measure of secure multiparty computation (MPC) protocols introduced to achieve load-balancing in large-scale networks, which is defined as the maximum communication complexity required by any one player within the protocol execution. Towards the goal of achieving low bottleneck complexity, prior works proposed MPC protocols for computing symmetric functions in the correlated randomness model, where players are given input-independent correlated randomness in advance. However, the previous protocols with polylogarithmic bottleneck complexity in the number n of players require a large amount of correlated randomness that is linear in n, which limits the per-party efficiency as receiving and storing correlated randomness are the bottleneck for efficiency. In this work, we present for the first time MPC protocols for symmetric functions such that bottleneck complexity and the amount of correlated randomness are both polylogarithmic in n, assuming semi-honest adversaries colluding with at most n-o(n) players. Furthermore, one of our protocols is even computationally efficient in that each player performs only polylog(n) arithmetic operations while the computational complexity of the previous protocols is O(n). Technically, our efficiency improvements come from novel protocols based on ramp secret sharing to realize basic functionalities with low bottleneck complexity, which we believe may be of interest beyond their applications to secure computation of symmetric functions.

MPC with Low Bottleneck-Complexity: Information-Theoretic Security and More

Authors: Hannah Keller, Claudio Orlandi, Anat Paskin-Cherniavsky, and Divya Ravi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 267, 4th Conference on Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC 2023)


Abstract
The bottleneck-complexity (BC) of secure multiparty computation (MPC) protocols is a measure of the maximum number of bits which are sent and received by any party in protocol. As the name suggests, the goal of studying BC-efficient protocols is to increase overall efficiency by making sure that the workload in the protocol is somehow "amortized" by the protocol participants. Orlandi et al. [Orlandi et al., 2022] initiated the study of BC-efficient protocols from simple assumptions in the correlated randomness model and for semi-honest adversaries. In this work, we extend the study of [Orlandi et al., 2022] in two primary directions: (a) to a larger and more general class of functions and (b) to the information-theoretic setting. In particular, we offer semi-honest secure protocols for the useful function classes of abelian programs, "read-k" non-abelian programs, and "read-k" generalized formulas. Our constructions use a novel abstraction, called incremental function secret-sharing (IFSS), that can be instantiated with unconditional security or from one-way functions (with different efficiency trade-offs).

Use Your Brain! Arithmetic 3PC for Any Modulus with Active Security

Authors: Hendrik Eerikson, Marcel Keller, Claudio Orlandi, Pille Pullonen, Joonas Puura, and Mark Simkin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 163, 1st Conference on Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC 2020)


Abstract
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) allows a set of mutually distrustful parties to compute a public function on their private inputs without revealing anything beyond the output of the computation. This paper focuses on the specific case of actively secure three-party computation with an honest majority. In particular, we are interested in solutions which allow to evaluate arithmetic circuits over real-world CPU word sizes, like 32- and 64-bit words. Our starting point is the novel compiler of Damgård et al. from CRYPTO 2018. First, we present an improved version of it which reduces the online communication complexity by a factor of 2. Next, we replace their preprocessing protocol (with arithmetic modulo a large prime) with a more efficient preprocessing which only performs arithmetic modulo powers of two. Finally, we present a novel "postprocessing" check which replaces the preprocessing phase. These protocols offer different efficiency tradeoffs and can therefore outperform each other in different deployment settings. We demonstrate this with benchmarks in a LAN and different WAN settings. Concretely, we achieve a throughput of 1 million 64-bit multiplications per second with parties located in different continents and 3 million in one location.
