Hash function + iO ⇒ PKE

Hash function together with iO implies PKE.

Statement

Migrated verbatim from impagliazzos-five-worlds § Obfustopia:

Indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) together with OWFs defines an even richer world beyond Cryptomania, sometimes called Obfustopia. iO is an extremely powerful primitive: combined with OWFs, it implies PKE, digital signatures, NIZK proofs without a CRS, functional encryption for all circuits, deniable encryption, and much more — SW14.

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.

This relation is stated on 2 pages; the statements above are all of them.

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

  • CONJUNCTIVE and DISJUNCTIVELY BUNDLED: “combined with OWFs, it implies PKE, digital signatures, NIZK proofs without a CRS, functional encryption for all circuits, deniable encryption, and much more” is one hypothesis SET {iO, OWF} with five separate conclusions; this record isolates {iO, OWF} PKE.
  • “and much more” is an unbounded, untypeable tail that a migration must drop.
  • OWF hypothesis is again the hash-function page alias.
