Adaptive TDF from any TDF via Pseudorandom-Ciphertext PKE
Fuyuki Kitagawa, Takahiro Matsuda · IACR Communications in Cryptology · 2025
Adaptive trapdoor function (TDF) is TDF that remains secure even if an adversary can get access to the inversion oracle. We present a generic construction of adaptive TDF from the combination of any TDF and pseudorandom-ciphertext public-key encryption (PKE) scheme. As a direct corollary, we can obtain adaptive TDF from any trapdoor permutation (TDP) whose domain is both recognizable and sufficiently dense. In our construction, we can prove that the function's output is indistinguishable from uniform even when an adversary has access to the inversion oracle.
