  Paillier cryptosystem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paillier cryptosystem is an asymmetric algorithm for public key cryptography, invented by Pascal Paillier in 1999.
Paillier's cryptosystem also allows for homomorphic addition of plaintext constants.
Paillier and Pointcheval however went on to propose an improved cryptosystem that incorporates the combined hashing of message m with random r.

Asymmetric-key cryptosystems Public key cryptography is a form of cryptography which generally allows users to communicate securely without having prior access to a shared secret key.
The Rabin cryptosystem is an asymmetric cryptographic technique, which like RSA is based on the difficulty of factorization.
An understanding of some of the system level issues in the use of cryptography will be helpful to all who propose to use it, or who will have it deployed by default on their behalf.

 Talk:Paillier cryptosystem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paillier's security is based on the same assumptions as RSA.
Both are based on the difficulty of integer factorization, yes.
However, RSA is also based on the RSA problem, whereas Paillier is also based on something else called the higher-order residuosity problem (as opposed to quadratic residuosity problem).

For a cryptosystem to bed semantically secure, it must be infeasible for a computationally-bounded adversary to derive significant information about a message (plaintext) when given only its ciphertext and the corresponding public encryption key.
A cryptosystem (or cryptographic system) is the package of all procedures, protocols, cryptographic algorithms and instructions used for encoding and decoding messages using cryptography.
A chosen ciphertext attack is an attack on a cryptosystem in which the cryptanalyst chooses ciphertext and causes it to be decrypted with an unknown key.

 Extensions to the Paillier Cryptosystem with Applications to Cryptological Protocols
The main contribution of this thesis is a simplification, a generalization and some modifications of the homomorphic cryptosystem proposed by Paillier in 1999, and several cryptological protocols that follow from these changes.
The Paillier cryptosystem is an additive homomorphic cryptosystem, meaning that one can combine ciphertexts into a new ciphertext that is the encryption of the sum of the messages of the original ciphertexts.
The generalized cryptosystem is also simplified in some ways, which results in a threshold decryption that is conceptually simpler than other proposals.

 ScienceDaily: Public-key cryptography
An asymmetric key cryptosystem was published in 1976 by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, who, influenced by Ralph Merkle's work on public key distribution, disclosed a method of public key agreement.
The ElGamal cryptosystem (invented by Taher ElGamal then of Netscape) relies on the (similar, and related) difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem, as does the closely related DSA developed by the NSA and NIST.
Most are used in hybrid cryptosystems for reasons of efficiency; in such a cryptosystem, a shared secret key ("session key") is generated by one party, this much briefer session key is then encrypted by each recipient's public key.

By studying the case $f(x)=x^e$ and $M$ is an RSA-modulus, we deduce that the one-wayness of RSAP is indeed equivalent to the RSA assumption, and we are led to conjecture that the one-wayness of the original Paillier scheme may not be equivalent to the RSA assumption with exponent $N$.
We show that there is a flaw in the design of the scheme which has two implications: the cryptosystem is not semantically secure (each ciphertext leaks a non-negligible fraction of the plaintext), and the problem of decrypting ciphertexts can be reduced to a special closest vector problem which is much easier than the general problem.
Abstract: Cryptosystems based on the knapsack problem were among the first public key systems to be invented and for a while were considered quite promising.

We also investigate private outputs for the general case and fairness for the case of two-party computation based on homomorphic threshold cryptosystems.
In this talk, we mainly focus on a new application which we call "Secure Profile Matching" where two parties jointly test whether some function of their profiles exceeds a given threshold, without divulging any information on their profiles.
We show that by using the ElGamal encryption scheme, the key generation protocol can be performed efficiently in contrast to systems based on an RSA modulus such as Paillier's cryptosystem.

We present a voting protocol that protects voters privacy and achieves universal verifiability, receipt-freeness, and uncoercibility without ad hoc physical assumptions or procedural constraints (such as untappable channels, voting booths, smart cards, third-party randomizers, and so on).
We discuss under which conditions the scheme allows voters to cast write-in ballots, and we show how it can be practically implemented through voter-verified (paper) ballots.
The scheme allows voters to combine voting credentials with their chosen votes applying the homomorphic properties of certain probabilistic cryptosystems.

 CIS: Threshold Cryptography
This paper provides solutions for efficient threshold cryptosystems which are secure against adaptive adversaries even when the players cannot erase their local data.
Solutions to the distributed generation of private keys for discrete-log based cryptosystems have been known for several years and used in a variety of protocols and in many research papers.
This approach combines threshold cryptosystems (where the ability to perform these private key operations requires the cooperation of several parties, as in [GJKR96a] or [GJKR96b]) with the periodic refreshment and integrity protection of local shares (as in Proactive Secret Sharing of [HJKY95]).

Abstract: We re-examine Paillier's cryptosystem, and show that by choosing a particular discrete log base g, and by introducing an alternative decryption procedure, we can extend the scheme to allow an arbitrary exponent e instead of N.
The semantic security is now based on a new decisional assumption, namely the hardness of deciding whether an element is a \small" e-th residue modulo N.

In another embodiment, the computation means is realized using a Paillier cryptosystem, or a threshold Paillier cryptosystem using a public key-sharing scheme.
The second problem is handled by using a key-sharing scheme (also Paillier), where decryption can only be done if a sufficient number of parties cooperate (and then only the sum is revealed, no detailed information).
A public-key cryptosystem The cryptosystem we use is the public-key cryptosystem presented by Paillier.

This modification is reminiscent from the ones applied by Rabin and Williams to the well-known RSA cryptosystem.
Thanks to the special properties of such schemes, we obtain efficiency similar to that of RSA cryptosystem, provably secure encryption (since recovering plaintext from ciphertext is as hard as factoring) and indistinguishability against plaintext attacks.
Compared to Okamoto-Uchiyama's scheme, the previous IND-CPA cryptosystem in the standard model with one-wayness based on factoring, our scheme is drastically more efficient in encryption, and presents higher bandwith, achieving the same expansion factor as Paillier and ElGamal schemes.

We delve into two areas on our way to this goal: Blind Signatures, which allow for anonymous voting, and Paillier Cryptosystem, which gives us the ability to sum up votes even though they have been encrypted.
From there, we try out a voting scheme without privacy and show how privacy without cheating can be added to this pretty simple scheme.
Similarly, in the bottom figure, the registrar signs the voter's sealed vote, which the voter then passes on to the counter.

Paillier’s cryptosystem is semantically secure, homomorphic, and has a large message space, so it can be used as a tool to build secret sharing, ZK, and, almost immediately, a voting system.
It has linear communications complexity in the number of players and is secure in the RO model.

THRESHOLD CRYPTOGRAPHYThreshold cryptosystems and signatures schemes provide ways to distribute trust throughout a group and increase the availability of cryptographic systems.
Although the adversary is allowed to corrupt up to one half of the servers, the goal is to sustain the security of the underlying functionality.
Recently [LP] we improved the distributed modular inversion protocol of Catalano, Gennaro and Halevi to make it secure against an adaptive adversary, thereby enabling threshold signature schemes with stronger security properties than any previous result.
