Abstract

\emph{Noisy trapdoor claw-free function} (NTCF) as a powerful post-quantum cryptographic tool can efficiently constrain actions of untrusted quantum devices. However, the original NTCF is essentially \emph{2-to-1} one-way function (NTCF21^1_2). In this work, we attempt to further extend the NTCF21^1_2 to achieve \emph{many-to-one} trapdoor claw-free functions with polynomial bounded preimage size. Specifically, we focus on a significant extrapolation of NTCF21^1_2 by drawing on extrapolated dihedral cosets, thereby giving a model of NTCFκ1^1_{\kappa} where κ\kappa is a polynomial integer. Then, we present an efficient construction of NTCFκ1^1_{\kappa} assuming \emph{quantum hardness of the learning with errors (LWE)} problem. We point out that NTCF can be used to bridge the LWE and the dihedral coset problem (DCP). By leveraging NTCF21^1_2 (resp. NTCFκ1^1_{\kappa}), our work reveals a new quantum reduction path from the LWE problem to the DCP (resp. extrapolated DCP). Finally, we demonstrate the NTCFκ1^1_{\kappa} can naturally be reduced to the NTCF21^1_2, thereby achieving the same application for proving the quantumness.
