DDH ⇒ COM

DDH implies COM.

Statement

Migrated verbatim from commitment-scheme § Other results:

  • COM from DDH: the Pedersen commitment scheme is perfectly hiding and computationally binding

Notes

source: folklore: the claim carried no citation on the page it was migrated from, and none was invented.

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:

  • No citation — Pedersen’s original paper (Ped91) has no reference page.
  • SUSPECTED IMPRECISION: Pedersen commitments are perfectly hiding unconditionally and computationally binding under the DISCRETE LOGARITHM assumption; DDH is not needed. The hypothesis should very likely be [[discrete-logarithm]], which is a strictly weaker requirement.
  • No construction sketch given, unlike the sibling bullets.
