Abstract

We propose cryptanalysis of the First Domingo-Ferrer's algebraic privacy homomorphism E:Z"n-(Z"pxZ"q)^d where n=pq. We show that the scheme can be broken by (d+1) known plaintexts in O(d^3log^2n) time. Even when the modulus n is kept secret, it can be broken by 2(d+1) known plaintexts in O(d^4logdn+d^3log^2n+@?(m)) time with overwhelming probability.
