Lower Bound Sample Clauses

Lower Bound. Our lower bound involves a separation based scheme. In each coherence block we reserve the first symbol for channel training and use the remainder of the block for source emulation [9], [10] .

Lower Bound. For all m and α ∈ (0, 1], ν(m, α) ≥ 1+α

Lower Bound. The number k of updates a user is required to make before their state is guaranteed to heal plays a crucial role. We consider a security game parameterized by the number of users n and k. The adversary schedules who updates in each round, and we require that at any point the group key is secure assuming that every party that was corrupted in the past was asked to update at least k times (since their last corruption). Table 1 states our lower bound and upper bound, as well as existing ones. Our lower bound is roughly n1+1/k k/ log(k). The main message here is that we need to allow for logarithmically many rounds for healing (as in CoCoA) if we want a small logarithmic sender communication cost per user. In particular, if we insist on a constant number of rounds, the average cost per user will be of order n1/k. 1It is possible, as in [AAN+22a, AHKM22], to reduce recipient communication by introducing additional reliance on the server. We focus on sender communication. Scheme Communication Rounds Rand. corr.

The protocol [BDR20] improves over TreeKEM in that concurrent operations do not degrade future performance, which is not captured in the table. Our lower-bounds require CGKA to not allow distributed work (NDW) and not use nested encryption (NNE). Our bound holds without the extra assumption requiring the protocols to have publicly-computable update cost (PCU). However, additional properties of it hold when this assumption is present. We refer the reader to the discussion in Section 1.3 below for more details. Here, αε ≈ ε is some constant depending on ε. ∈ ⌈ ⌉ · ∈ ⌈ ⌉ ⌈ ⌉ Upper bound. We introdu...

Lower Bound. Broadcast encryption is a mechanism that allows a sender to send a group key to a selected set of users. This can be regarded as a group key agreement of one message that is sent by the sender. In a symmetric key based broadcast encryption, the sender is a fixed authority. In this case, the user key size is combinatorially lower bounded. In addition, it is secure only against a limited number of users. In a public key broadcast encryption, the key size problem can be waived. But one still has to set the threshold for the number of bad users. Also the cipher text size depends on the number of users and hence could be large (e.g., it is O ( p n) in for n users). Further, users are initialized by a central authority which is not desired in our setting.
