Abstract

We devise a multiple (concurrent) commitment scheme operating on large messages. It uses an ideal global setup functionality in a minimalistic way. The commitment phase is non-interactive. It is presented in a modular way so that the internal building blocks could easily be replaced by others and/or isolated during the process of design and implementation. Our optimal instantiation is based on the decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption and the (adversarially selected group) Diffie-Hellman knowledge (DHK) assumption which was proposed at CRYPTO 1991. It achieves UC security against static attacks in an efficient way. Indeed, it is computationally cheaper than Lindell's highly efficient UC commitment based on common reference strings and on DDH from EUROCRYPT 2011.

Fossil fuel phase-out

Fossil fuel phase-out is the gradual reduction of the use and production of fossil fuels to zero, to reduce deaths and illness from air pollution, limit climate change, and strengthen energy independence. It is part of the ongoing renewable energy transition. Although many countries are shutting down coal-fired power stations, electricity generation is not moving off coal fast enough to meet climate goals. Many countries have set dates to stop selling petrol and diesel cars and trucks, but a timetable to stop burning fossil gas has not yet been agreed.

Key-agreement protocol

In cryptography, a key-agreement protocol is a protocol whereby two or more parties can agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome. If properly done, this precludes undesired third parties from forcing a key choice on the agreeing parties. Protocols that are useful in practice also do not reveal to any eavesdropping party what key has been agreed upon. Many key exchange systems have one party generate the key, and simply send that key to the other party—the other party has no influence on the key.

Text messaging

Text messaging, or texting, is the act of composing and sending electronic messages, typically consisting of alphabetic and numeric characters, between two or more users of mobile devices, desktops/laptops, or another type of compatible computer. Text messages may be sent over a cellular network or may also be sent via satellite or Internet connection. The term originally referred to messages sent using the Short Message Service (SMS).
