TLDR
A new trapdoor mechanism is proposed and three encryption schemes are derived : a trapdoor permutation and two homomorphic probabilistic encryption schemes computationally comparable to RSA, which are provably secure under appropriate assumptions in the standard model.
Abstract
This paper investigates a novel computational problem, namely the Composite Residuosity Class Problem, and its applications to public-key cryptography. We propose a new trapdoor mechanism and derive from this technique three encryption schemes : a trapdoor permutation and two homomorphic probabilistic encryption schemes computationally comparable to RSA. Our cryptosystems, based on usual modular arithmetics, are provably secure under appropriate assumptions in the standard model.

Wysteria: A Programming Language for Generic, Mixed-Mode Multiparty Computations

TL;DR: Wysteria is presented, a high-level programming language for writing SMCs and it is found that Wysteria's performance is competitive with prior approaches while making programming far easier, and more trustworthy.

Paillier's cryptosystem revisited

TL;DR: This work re-examine Paillier's cryptosystem, and shows that by choosing a particular discrete log base g, and by introducing an alternative decryption procedure, the scheme can be extended to allow an arbitrary exponent e instead of N, and the use of low exponents substantially increases the efficiency of the scheme.

Efficient Arguments without Short PCPs

TL;DR: A direct method for compiling an exponentially long PCP which is succinctly described by a linear oracle function into an argument system in which the verifier sends to the prover O(n) encrypted field elements and receives O(1) encryptions in return.

Secure multiple linear regression based on homomorphic encryption

TL;DR: This work conceptualizes the existence of a single combined database containing all of the information for the individuals in the separate databases and for the union of the variables, and proposes an approach that gives full statistical calculation on this combined database without actually combining information sources.

A method for obtaining digital signatures and public-key cryptosystems

TL;DR: An encryption method is presented with the novel property that publicly revealing an encryption key does not thereby reveal the corresponding decryption key.

A public key cryptosystem and a signature scheme based on discrete logarithms

TL;DR: A new signature scheme is proposed, together with an implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem that relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields.

Random oracles are practical: a paradigm for designing efficient protocols

TL;DR: It is argued that the random oracles model—where all parties have access to a public random oracle—provides a bridge between cryptographic theory and cryptographic practice, and yields protocols much more efficient than standard ones while retaining many of the advantages of provable security.
