Universally composable oblivious transfer protocol based on VSPH by LI Feng-hua1, FENG Tao1, MA Jian-feng1

“…A new oblivious transfer protocol was proposed within the framework of universally composable security（UC-DT）.The protocol based on the verifiably smooth projective hashing（VSPH） is against adaptive adversaries in a common reference string（CRS） model.The UC-OT protocol improves computational efficiency with non-committing encryptions（NCE）which is based on decisional compounding residuosity,achieves UC-OT,and it saves O（n）-1 rounds in communication efficiency than bit-OT protocols.Compared with Canetti’s scheme in non-erase model,the message reduced once.Compared with Fischlin’s scheme,the message transfers were reduced twice,and the scheme does not rely on the auxiliary party,therefore it is more practical.…”
