Abstract

We propose cryptanalysis of the First Domingo-Ferrer's algebraic privacy homomorphism ε: Zn → (Zp × Zq)d where n = pq. We show that the scheme can be broken by (d + 1) known plaintexts in O(d3 log2 n) time. Even when the modulus n is kept secret, it can be broken by 2(d + 1) known plaintexts in O(d4 log dn + d3 log2 n + ε(m)) time with overwhelming probability.
