Public-Key Cryptosystems Based on Composite Degree Residuosity Classes

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS,volume 1592)

Abstract

This paper investigates a novel computational problem, namely the Composite Residuosity Class Problem, and its applications to public-key cryptography. We propose a new trapdoor mechanism and derive from this technique three encryption schemes: a trapdoor permutation and two homomorphic probabilistic encryption schemes computationally comparable to RSA. Our cryptosystems, based on usual modular arithmetics, are provably secure under appropriate assumptions in the standard model.

Keywords

  • Encryption Scheme
  • Signature Scheme
  • Random Oracle
  • Homomorphic Encryption
  • Random Oracle Model

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
