A Note on the Permuted Puzzles Toy Conjecture

Cryptography and Security 2021-09-17 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

In this note, we show that a "Toy Conjecture" made by (Boyle, Ishai, Pass, Wootters, 2017) is false, and propose a new one. Our attack does not falsify the full ("non-toy") conjecture in that work, and it is our hope that this note will help further the analysis of that conjecture. Independently, (Boyle, Holmgren, Ma, Weiss, 2021) have obtained similar results.
