Gilad Asharov @ IDC on A Full Characterization of Functions that Imply Fair Coin Tossing and Ramifications to Fairness
It is well known that it is impossible for two parties to toss a coin fairly (Cleve, STOC
Ron Rothblum @ TAU on the circular security of bit-encryption
Motivated by recent developments in fully homomorphic encryption, we consider the folklore conjecture that every semantically-secure bit-encryption scheme is circular secure, or in other words, that every bit-encryption scheme remains secure even when the adversary is given encryptions of the individual bits of the private-key. We show the following obstacles to proving this conjecture:
