--- res: bibo_abstract: - "We show a hardness-preserving construction of a PRF from any length doubling PRG which improves upon known constructions whenever we can put a non-trivial upper bound q on the number of queries to the PRF. Our construction requires only O(logq) invocations to the underlying PRG with each query. In comparison, the number of invocations by the best previous hardness-preserving construction (GGM using Levin's trick) is logarithmic in the hardness of the PRG. For example, starting from an exponentially secure PRG {0,1} n → {0,1} 2n, we get a PRF which is exponentially secure if queried at most q = exp(√n)times and where each invocation of the PRF requires Θ(√n) queries to the underlying PRG. This is much less than the Θ(n) required by known constructions. \r\n@eng" bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Abhishek foaf_name: Jain, Abhishek foaf_surname: Jain - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Krzysztof Z foaf_name: Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z foaf_surname: Pietrzak foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-9139-1654 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Aris foaf_name: Tentes, Aris foaf_surname: Tentes bibo_doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-28914-9_21 bibo_volume: 7194 dct_date: 2012^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer@ dct_title: Hardness preserving constructions of pseudorandom functions@ ...
