Abstract

Asharov, Canetti, and Hazay (Eurocrypt 2011) studied how game-theoretic concepts can be used to capture the cryptographic properties of correctness, privacy, and fairness in two-party protocols in the presence of fail-stop adversaries. Based on their work, we characterize the properties of “two-message” oblivious transfer protocols by using a game-theoretic concept. Specifically, we present a single two-player game for two-message oblivious transfer in the game-theoretic framework, where it captures the cryptographic properties of correctness and privacy in the presence of malicious adversaries.

This research was supported in part by a grant of I-System Co. Ltd., NTT Information Sharing Platform Laboratories, and Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
