Non-Black-Box Approach to Secure Two-Party Computation in Three Rounds

Akshayaram Srinivasan

Abstract

The round complexity of secure two-party computation is a long studied problem with matching upper and lower bounds for the case of black-box simulators (i.e., the simulators that use the adversary as a black-box). In this work, we focus on going beyond this black-box barrier via non-black-box techniques. Specifically, based on standard cryptographic assumptions, we give a construction of a 3-round two-party computation protocol for computing inputless functionalities (such as coin-tossing) that satisfies standard security against malicious senders and $\epsilon$-security against malicious receivers. Prior to our work such protocols were only known for the case of (weak) zero-knowledge.
