Asynchronous Weak Commitment (AWC) Sample Clauses

Asynchronous Weak Commitment (AWC). Informally, an AWC scheme consists of two protocols: a commitment protocol (called Com) and a decommitment protocol (called Decom). In the commitment protocol, a spe- cial party called Committer “commits” a secret to the parties in a distributed fashion. Later during the decommitment pro- tocol, Committer “decommits/opens” the committed secret and the parties verify whether this was the secret commit- xxx earlier and accordingly either accept or reject the secret. Thus AWC can be viewed as a distributed version of the classical two-party commitment schemes [24]. Formally: Committer has the input s. If Committer is honest dur- ing Com and has not begun executing Decom, then VI- EW(s) is identically distributed for all s ∈ F. The above definition can be easily extended for a secret S˙ = (s1, . . . , sA), containing A elements from F.

Asynchronous Weak Commitment (AWC). − To design our AVSS protocol, we introduce a new asyn- chronous primitive called AWC. This new primitive will act as a “substitute” for the asynchronous weak secret sharing (AWSS) primitive; recall that AWSS was used as a primitive in [9] to design a (1 ϵ)-AVSS, while a “shunning variant” of AWSS was used as a primitive in [1] to design an almost surely terminating shunning AVSS. Informally, an AWC scheme consists of two protocols: a commitment protocol (called Com) and a decommitment protocol (called DeCom). In the commitment protocol, a special party called Committer “commits” a secret to the parties in a distributed fashion and during the decommit- ment protocol, Committer “decommits” the secret and the parties verify whether this was the secret committed earlier and either accept or reject the secret. More formally: ⊥ − ∈ P ∈ ∈ ∪{⊥} Definition 3 (Asynchronous Weak Commitment (AWC)) Let (Com, DeCom) be a pair of protocols for the n parties, where a Committer has a private input s F for Com (the secret to be committed). In the protocol DeCom, Committer has a private input s٨ F (the secret to be decommitted) and each party upon terminating DeCom ei- ther outputs s٨ or outputs . Then (Com, DeCom) is a (1 ϵ)-AWC scheme, for an allowed error parameter ϵ (where ϵ > 0), if the following requirements hold for every possi- ble behavior of Adv: −
