Abstract

The relation between list decoding and hard-core predicates has provided a clean and easy methodology to prove the hardness of certain predicates. So far this methodology has only been used to prove that the O (loglogN ) least and most significant bits of any function with multiplicative access --which include the most common number theoretic trapdoor permutations-- are secure. In this paper we show that the method applies to all bits of any function defined on a cyclic group of order N with multiplicative access for cryptographically interesting N . As a result, in this paper we reprove the security of all bits of RSA, the discrete logarithm in a group of prime order or the Paillier encryption scheme.
