Verifiable Oblivious Transfer Protocol

The Oblivious Transfer (OT), introduced by Rabin in 1981, has become an important and fundamental cryptography technique. An OT protocol should have two important characteristics: sender's privacy and chooser's privacy. The sender is a party who will deliver a secret to chooser. The chooser is another party who acts as receiver to learn some information about input from sender. The chooser learns of certain information concerning sender's input while sender is not allowed to know what chooser has learned. Moreover, chooser cannot acquire any messages that he/she did not choose. Naor and Pinkas have recently proposed an efficient oblivious transfer protocol (EOT) that implementes 1-out-of-n protocol, but this EOT has a flaw: it cannot withstand the same message attack. In this paper, we will improve Naor and Pinkas EOT and make it resistant to the same message attack.
