Abstract

This paper studies error-free, multi-bit non-committing encryptions in the universally composable (UC) framework with constant round complexity. Previous efficient protocols such as the Beaver's protocol and the Damgard-Nielsen's protocol cause errors with certain probability, and require restarting the channel setup procedures if an error happens. This causes the main problem of UC-security of a non-committing protocol with error. The proposed error-free, l- bit non-committing encryption is fixed 4-round and it is as efficient as l-instance of the Beaver's protocol running in parallel. We show that the proposed scheme realizes the UC-security in the presence of adaptive adversary assuming that the decisional Diffie-Hellman problem is hard.
