Abstract

A notion of “divertible” zero-knowledge interactive proof systems was introduced by Okamoto and Ohta, and they showed that for any commutative random self-reducible relation, there exists a divertible (perfect) zero-knowledge interactive proof system of possession of information. In addition, Burmester and Desmedt proved that for any language L ∈ NP, there exists a divertible zero-knowledge interactive proof system for the language L under the assumption that probabilistic encryption homomorphisms exist. In this paper, we classify the notion of divertible into three types, i.e., perfectly divertible, almost perfectly divertible, and computationally divertible, and investigate which complexity class of languages has a perfectly (almost perfectly) (computationally) divertible zero-knowledge interactive proof system. The main results in this paper are: (1) there exists a perfectly divertible perfect zero-knowledge interactive proof system for graph non-isomorphism (GNI) without any unproven assumption; and (2) for any language L having an interactive proof system, there exists a computationally divertible computational zero-knowledge interactive proof system for the language L under the assumption that probabilistic encryption homomorphisms exist.
