Efficient Algorithm for Secure Outsourcing of Modular Exponentiation with Single Server

Abstract

Outsourcing computation allows an outsourcer with limited resource to delegate the computation load to a powerful server without the exposure of true inputs and outputs. It is well known that modular exponentiation is one of the most expensive operations in public key cryptosystems. Currently, most of outsourcing algorithms for modular exponentiation are based on two untrusted servers or have small checkability with single server. In this paper, we first propose an efficient outsourcing algorithm of modular exponentiation based on two untrusted servers, where the outsourcer can detect the error based on Euler theorem with a probability of 1 if one of the servers misbehaves. We then present an outsourcing algorithm of modular exponentiation with single server, and the outsourcer can also check the failure with a probability of 1. Therefore, the proposed algorithm with single server improves efficiency and checkability simultaneously compare with the previous ones. Finally, we provide the experimental evaluations to demonstrate that the proposed two algorithms are the most efficient ones in all of the outsourcing algorithms for an outsourcer.
