Abstract:

This paper propose a new secure oblivious transfer protocol from indistinguishability obfuscation. The main technical tool in this paper is the candidate indistinguishability obfuscation introduced recently and a dual-mode cryptosystem.. Following their steps, a new k-out-of-l oblivious transfer protocol is presented here, and its realization from DDH is described in this paper, in which we combined indistinguishability obfuscation with the dual-mode cryptosystem. The security of our scheme mainly relies on the indistinguishability of the obf-branches(corresponding to the two modes in dual-mode model). Our paper explores a new way for the application of indistinguishability obfuscation.
