COM ⇒ OT

COM implies OT.

Statement

Migrated verbatim from commitment-scheme § Other results:

  • OT can be constructed from any non-trivial commitment scheme — Kil88

Notes

class: unstated: no citing page says which notion of reduction is meant. Recording a class the wiki does not state would add a claim.

Recorded during migration and not fixed — these are claims about the source text, not changes to it:

  • SUSPECTED MATHEMATICAL ERROR / INVERTED CITATION (reported, not fixed): Kilian’s ‘Founding cryptography on oblivious transfer’ proves that OT is COMPLETE for secure computation (OT everything), not that OT can be built FROM commitments. Building OT from commitments would place OT in Minicrypt, contradicting Impagliazzo-Rudich. The edge is almost certainly reversed.
  • ‘any non-trivial commitment scheme’ is an undefined qualifier — ‘non-trivial’ is never defined on the page, so the hypothesis cannot be typed.
  • Directly contradicts the neighbouring line 63 bullet (COM from PRG/OWF) if taken at face value: it would make OT follow from OWFs.
