For instance, circuits with constant treewidth are as a result adaptively indistinguishable with only a polynomial loss. This (partially) complements a negative result of Applebaum et al. (Crypto 2013), which showed (assuming one-way functions) that Yao’s garbling scheme cannot be adaptively simulatable. As main technical contributions, we introduce a new pebble game that abstracts out our security reduction and then present a pebbling strategy for this game where the number of pebbles used is roughly O(d w log(S)), d being the fan-out of the circuit. The design of the strategy relies on separators, a graph-theoretic notion with connections to circuit complexity."}],"date_published":"2021-07-08T00:00:00Z","month":"07","publication_status":"published","title":"On treewidth, separators and Yao's garbling","quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2023-09-07T13:32:11Z","oa_version":"Preprint","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","day":"08","publisher":"International Association for Cryptologic Research","publication":"19th Theory of Cryptography Conference 2021","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank Daniel Wichs for helpful discussions on the landscape of adaptive security of Yao’s garbling.
