Improved Garbled RAM via Garbled Merge

본문 미리보기

Consider the problem of merging inside a garbled circuit (GC) two arrays of $w$-bit elements, yielding a single length-$n$ array. This garbled merge problem is core to garbled random access memory (GRAM), a technique that enables efficient garbling of general-purpose programs. We present a novel symmetric-key-based garbled merge that achieves a garbling size of $(w + 1) \cdot n \cdot \lambda$ bits, providing both asymptotic and concrete improvements over the state of the art. By applying our gar
