Efficient Multi-party Private Set Union Resistant to Maximum Collusion Attacks
Qiang Liu, Joon-Woo Lee
Cryptographic protocols
Multi-party Private Set Union (MPSU) enables multiple participants to jointly compute the union of their private sets without leaking any additional information beyond the resulting union. Liu et al. (ASIACRYPT 2023) proposed the first scalable MPSU protocol fully based on symmetric key encryption (SKE), which designates one participant as the "leader" responsible for obtaining the final union. However, the protocol assumes that the leader does not collude with other participants, which...
Post-Quantum Single Secret Leader Election (SSLE) From Publicly Re-randomizable Commitments
Dan Boneh, Aditi Partap, Lior Rotem
Cryptographic protocols
A Single Secret Leader Election (SSLE) enables a group of parties to randomly choose exactly one leader from the group with the restriction that the identity of the leader will be known to the chosen leader and nobody else. At a later time, the elected leader should be able to publicly reveal her identity and prove that she is the elected leader. The election process itself should work properly even if many registered users are passive and do not send any messages. SSLE is used to strengthen...
Sassafras and Semi-Anonymous Single Leader Election
Jeffrey Burdges, Handan Kılınç Alper, Alistair Stewart, Sergey Vasilyev
Cryptographic protocols
A single-leader election (SLE) is a way to elect one leader randomly among the parties in a distributed system. If the leader is secret (i.e., unpredictable) then it is called a secret single leader election (SSLE). In this paper, we model the security of SLE in the universally composable (UC) model. Our model is adaptable to various unpredictability levels for leaders that an SLE aims to provide. We construct an SLE protocol that we call semi-anonymous single leader election (SASLE). We...

At a later time, the elected leader should be able to publicly reveal her identity and prove that she has won the election.
