A broad theoretical\r\nframework was introduced by Jafargholi et al. [Crypto’17] for this purpose. In this paper we initiate the study of lower bounds on loss in adaptive security for certain cryptographic protocols considered in the framework. We prove lower\r\nbounds that almost match the upper bounds (proven using the framework) for proxy re-encryption, prefix-constrained PRFs and generalized selective decryption, a security game that captures the security of certain group messaging and\r\nbroadcast encryption schemes. Those primitives have in common that their security game involves an underlying graph that can be adaptively built by the adversary. Some of our lower bounds only apply to a restricted class of black-box reductions which we term “oblivious” (the existing upper bounds are of this restricted type), some apply to the broader but still restricted class of non-rewinding reductions, while our lower bound for proxy re-encryption applies to all black-box reductions. The fact that some of our lower bounds seem to crucially rely on obliviousness or at least a non-rewinding reduction hints to the exciting possibility that the existing upper bounds can be improved by using more sophisticated reductions. Our main conceptual contribution is a two-player multi-stage game called the Builder-Pebbler Game. We can translate bounds on the winning probabilities for various instantiations of this game into cryptographic lower bounds for the above-mentioned primitives using oracle separation techniques.\r\n"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://ia.cr/2021/059"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"_id":"10048","day":"08","author":[{"id":"4BD3F30E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kamath Hosdurg, Chethan","first_name":"Chethan","last_name":"Kamath Hosdurg"},{"id":"3E83A2F8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Klein, Karen","last_name":"Klein","first_name":"Karen"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-3186-2482","id":"488F98B0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Walter, Michael","first_name":"Michael","last_name":"Walter"}],"publication":"19th Theory of Cryptography Conference 2021","type":"conference","date_updated":"2023-10-17T09:24:08Z","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"07"}
