Abstract

Cryptographic multilinear maps have extensive applications. However, current constructions of multilinear maps suffer from the zeroizing attacks. For a candidate construction of multilinear maps described by Garg, Gentry, and Halevi (GGH13), Hu & Jia recently presented an efficient attack, which broke the GGH13-based applications of multipartite key exchange (MPKE) and witness encryption (WE) based on the hardness of 3-exact cover problem. By introducing random matrix, the author presents an improvement of the GGH13 map, which supports the applications for public tools of encoding in the GGH13 map, such as MPKE and WE. The security of the construction depends upon new hardness assumption. Moreover, the author's improvement destroys the structure of the ring element in the principal ideal lattice problem, and avoids potential attacks using algorithm of solving short principal ideal lattice generator.
