Great-LaKeys: An Improved Threshold-PRF and a Novel Exponent-VRF from LWR

Matthias Geihs, Torus Labs
Abstract

Building on the recently proposed LWR-based threshold-PRF LaKey, we propose two new constructions. First, we propose an optimized threshold-PRF with significantly reduced round and communication complexity. We achieve this by improving the underlying bit truncation protocol, as well as the lower bound on the required number of LWR instances. Second, we show that the same underlying PRF construction lends itself as a basis for a novel and efficient exponent-VRF. We implement prototypes of both of our contributions and demonstrate their practical performance.
