Generic Group Model (GGM)

Status Problem Tags
– dv-SNARG, One Group Element
Numbered Conjecture 1.3 of the source. Its own theorems achieve one group element plus \(O(\tau)\) bits, and (with a random oracle) one group element, one hash output and about \(2\tau\) bits; the conjecture halves the additive term to \(\tau + o(\tau)\) and asks for no random oracle. 4 open

– Four-party NIKE, quadratic, Maurer’s model
Open. Achieved in Shoup’s generic group model by the source paper (Construction 9, Theorem 10); in Maurer’s model the paper’s own \(O(n^2)\) attack sets a ceiling that a construction would meet exactly, and nothing is known about reaching it. 5 open

– Quadratic attack on 3-NIKE, Shoup’s model
Open in Shoup’s model. Settled by the source paper in Maurer’s model for every \(K\) at least \(3\), including imperfect correctness; its own three-party Shoup construction achieves only an \(n^{1.5}\) gap, so the truth for three parties lies somewhere between \(n^{1.5}\) and \(n^2\). 5 open

– r-round DLOG tradeoff
Open for every intermediate \(r\): the \(r=1\) endpoint is the source’s own theorem and \(r=T\) is Corrigan-Gibbs–Kogan, with nothing proved in between. The source conjectures the interpolating formula and says a matching attack exists at every \(r\), so the missing half is the lower bound. 6 open

– No round-optimal pairing-free blind signature
Open for a polynomial query budget. The impossibility is proved when \(\mathsf{User}_2\) and \(\mathsf{Verify}\) together make \(O(\log\lambda)\) random-oracle queries, including when oracle outputs contain group elements; the superpolynomial message space hypothesis is retained. 5 open

– Non-adaptive DDH bound
Open, and asserted rather than asked: the source proves \(1/2+\tilde{O}(T^2/N+\sqrt{ST/N})\), states twice that it conjectures this is not tight for DDH, and names \(1/2+\tilde{O}(T^2/N+ST/N)\) as the right answer. The same theorem’s square-DDH bound is sharp, with a matching attack, which is what makes the DDH case a question rather than a suspicion. 6 open
