Description

Abstract. I will survey multiple aspects of deniability and related cryptographic notions, including the original deniable encryption paper of Canetti, Dwork, Naor, and Ostrovsky from 1996 and some of the follow-up works on deniable encryption. I will also discuss several related cryptographic notions and how they differ from deniable encryptions. These notions include equivocal encryption and equivocal commitment and their applications in cryptography. Specifically, I will describe applications to non-malleability and adaptive garbling. Finally, I will discuss a related concept of covert multi-party computation and how to construct it.
