Abstract:We show how to implement a deniable encryption method from secret sharing. Unlike the related concept of honey encryption, which employs a preprocessing step in symmetric encryption to re-shape the distribution of a plaintext towards making the real plaintext indistinguishable from a ciphertext for a fake message, we can avoid both, computational intractability assumptions and preprocessing of the data. This accomplishes deniability against an attacker that can force decryptions, and it can brute-force break a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
