Cryptographic Obfuscation

Introduction

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 1 –10

[“Cryptography is about replacing trust with mathematics.” (According to the neat definition of Boaz Barak [Bar16b].) Cryptographic obfuscation—one of cryptography’s aspiring branches, the subject of this study—focuses on the possibility of replacing trust in software users with mathematics.]

Background

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 11 –28

[Before coming to the point, we first have to introduce the necessary background for our study. We start with the discussion of the first question that may possibly arise when dealing with programs, namely, which representation of a computer program best serves our purposes?]
Available

Definitional Approaches

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 29 –36

[Before reviewing the state of the art in building cryptographic obfuscators, we need to clarify first the goals of this primitive, especially as, in contrast to the “code obfuscation” techniques in daily use, we are seeking to fulfil precise security guarantees.]

Bootstrapping: From the Seed to the Flower

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 37 –53

[The key question that bootstrapping seeks to answer is the following: what is the simplest object that we can to transform into a general-purpose obfuscator using standard cryptographic assumptions?]

Building Core-Obfuscators—In Search of a Seed I

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 55 –69

[Having identified several primitives that imply indistinguishability obfuscation under standard assumptions (see Sect. 4, especially Fig. 4.1), we turn our attention towards the realizations of these primitives.]

Building Functional Encryption: In Search of a Seed, II

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 71 –77

[In this section, we continue introducing candidate realizations of bootstrappable primitives, now focusing on those ones that yield full-fledged iO through constructing an FE scheme first. The main benefit of this approach is that—up to now—it has led to a better characterization of the problem...

iO Combiners and Universal Constructions

Horváth, Máté; Buttyán, Levente

Pages: 79 –81

[Summarizing the results introduced in this survey, we can conclude that since the breakthrough of [GGH+13b] the huge effort to better understand the nature of iO has resulted in significant progress.]
