Circular Security Separations for Arbitrary Length Cycles from LWE

Venkata Koppula and Brent Waters

Abstract: We describe a public key encryption that is IND-CPA secure under the Learning with Errors (LWE) assumption, but that is not circular secure for arbitrary length cycles. Previous separation results for cycle length greater than 2 require the use of indistinguishability obfuscation, which is not currently realizable under standard assumptions.
