Catching Many Traitors in Threshold Traitor Tracing: Lower Bounds and Constructions

본문 미리보기

A $t$-out-of-$n$ threshold decryption scheme distributes decryption key shares among $n$ parties so that any $t$ of them can jointly decrypt a ciphertext, while fewer than $t$ learn nothing about the plaintext. Traditional threshold schemes provide no accountability: a coalition of $t$ or more parties can combine their key shares and construct a pirate decoder that decrypts arbitrary well-formed ciphertexts, without any risk of being traced. To address this, Boneh, Partap, and Rotem [CRYPTO '24]
