Summary: | 碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 93 === The oblivious transfer has a critical problem on the sender’s communication complexity. Therefore, in this thesis, we develop an efficient k-out-of-n Oblivious Transfer whose result is superior to all previous solutions in terms of sender’s communication complexity. In our k-out-of-n Oblivious Transfer protocol, the sender cannot determine which k secret messages the receiver received, and the receiver cannot get the other remaining n-k secret messages if solving the factorization problem is hard. When k=1, we particularly suggest an efficient solution.
The priced oblivious transfer which can be applied to sell digital goods, was introduced by Aiello et al. However, in the previous work, such as Aiello et al.’s and Tobias’s papers, a customer buys only one item in each transaction but must receive n ciphertexts from the vendor, which is inefficient because of increasing n-1 non-essential transmissions. For this reason, we present an efficient priced k-out-of-n scheme. In our scheme, the communication cost of the vendor can be greatly reduced.
