19 Part I: What is correlation intractability? 19

20 Correlation Intractability infeasibility of finding sparse input-output relations --- Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi

21 Sparse Relations For every input (x), the fraction of outputs (y) in the relation is negligible 21

22 Sparse Relations For every input (x), the fraction of outputs (y) in the relation is negligible Correlation intractability [Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi 98] 22

23 Sparse Relations For every input (x), the fraction of outputs (y) in the relation is negligible Correlation intractability [Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi 98] For all sparse relations R: 23

24 Sparse Relations For every input (x), the fraction of outputs (y) in the relation is negligible Correlation intractability [Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi 98] For all sparse relations R: Adversary h Challenger 24

25 Sparse Relations For every input (x), the fraction of outputs (y) in the relation is negligible Correlation intractability [Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi 98] For all sparse relations R: Adversary h Challenger x, (as a result, y=h(x)) Adversary wins if R(x, y)=1 25

26 Correlation intractability => Fiat-Shamir for proofs [ Hada, Tanaka 99; Dwork et al. 99 ] 26

27 An interactive proof system A a B b (public coins) c => A a, b=h(a), c B Fiat, Shamir 86: 3 round proof system => 1 round argument 27

28 An interactive proof system A a B b (public coins) c => A a, b=h(a), c B Fiat, Shamir 86: 3 round proof system => 1 round argument Fiat, Shamir relation: (the instance x is part of a or c) R(a, b)=1 if c s.t. x L and Verifier(x, a, b, c) accepts 28

29 An interactive proof system A a B b (public coins) c => A a, b=h(a), c B Fiat, Shamir 86: 3 round proof system => 1 round argument [ Bitansky et al. 13 ] for proof systems, impossible from black-box reductions to falsifiable assumptions. 29

30 More quick facts of correlation intractability Impossible when key/seed is short [ Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi 98 ]. 30

31 More quick facts of correlation intractability Impossible when key/seed is short [ Canetti, Goldreich, Halevi 98 ]. Our goal: capture as many sparse relations as possible, including the relations that cover Fiat-Shamir for proofs. 31
