YAO'S MILLIONAIRES' PROBLEM AND DECOY-BASED PUBLIC KEY ENCRYPTION BY CLASSICAL PHYSICS

We use various laws of classical physics to offer several solutions of Yao's millionaires' problem without using any one-way functions. We also describe several informationally secure public key encryption protocols, i.e., protocols secure against passive computationally unbounded adversary. This introduces a new paradigm of decoy-based cryptography, as opposed to “traditional” complexity-based cryptography. In particular, our protocols do not employ any one-way functions.

Secure multi-party computation solution to Yao's millionaires' problem based on set-inclusion

Abstract Secure multi-party computation is a focus of international cryptography in recent years. Protocols for Yao's millionaires' problem have become an important building block of many secure multi-party computation protocols. Their efficiency are crucial to the efficiency of many secure multi-party computation protocols. Unfortunately, known protocols for Yao's millionaries' problem have high computational complexity or communication complexity. In this study, based on the 1-out of-m oblivious transfer and set-inclusion problem, we propose a new protocol to solve this problem. This new protocol is very efficient in terms of both computational and communication complexities. Its privacy-preserving property is also proved by simulation patadigm which is generally accepted in the study of secure multi-party computation. We also compare the information leakage of our new protocol and the known protocols.
