Differing-inputs obfuscation (diO) ⇔ iO

Differing-inputs obfuscation (diO) is equivalent to iO.

Statement

Migrated verbatim from indistinguishability-obfuscation:

An intermediate notion between iO and VBB, which requires indistinguishability for pairs of circuits that are hard to distinguish on any input. Known to be equivalent to iO under certain conditions.

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:

  • ‘Known to be equivalent to iO under certain conditions’ - vague and uncited; the conditions are not stated, so the relation cannot be typed.
  • No page for diO.
