Oblivious linear evaluation is a generalization of oblivious transfer, whereby two distrustful parties obliviously compute a linear function, f (x) = ax + b, i.e., each one provides their inputs that remain unknown to the other, in order to…
Oblivious transfer (OT) is an important cryptographic primitive. Any multi-party computation can be realised with OT as building block. XOR oblivious transfer (XOT) is a variant where the sender Alice has two bits, and a receiver Bob…
Oblivious transfer is a cryptographic primitive where Alice has two bits and Bob wishes to learn some function of them. Ideally, Alice should not learn Bob's desired function choice and Bob should not learn any more than what is logically…
Oblivious transfer protocol is a basic building block in cryptography and is used to transfer information from a sender to a receiver in such a way that, at the end of the protocol, the sender does not know if the receiver got the message…
The oblivious transfer primitive is sufficient to implement secure multiparty computation. However, secure multiparty computation based only on classical cryptography is severely limited by the security and efficiency of the oblivious…
