The note gives a post-quantum security proof for multi-output interactive hashing with arbitrary relations.

Interactive hashing, introduced by Ostrovsky, Venkatesan, and Yung, is a building block in cryptographic protocols including perfectly hiding commitments and statistical zero-knowledge arguments. The paper provides a post-quantum security proof for its multi-output generalization used in constructions from one-way functions and permutations. This strengthens prior results by proving security in the post-quantum setting.

Key facts
  • Post-quantum security proof for multi-output interactive hashing
  • Building block for statistical zero-knowledge arguments for NP
  • Construction from arbitrary one-way functions
  • Enhances commitments from one-way permutations
  • OVY93 protocol generalization

Interactive hashing, introduced by Ostrovsky, Venkatesan, and Yung [OVY93], is a building block in many cryptographic protocols, including perfectly hiding commitments from one-way permutations [NOVY92]. Its multi-output generalization is a key ingredient in constructions of statistical zero-knowledge arguments for NP and statistically hiding commitments from arbitrary one-way functions [NOV06,HR07].
