Abstract

This chapter delves into the realm of secure delegated linear algebra, focusing on the efficient and secure computation of matrix-vector and matrix-matrix multiplications. The authors introduce two novel cryptographic primitives: trapdoored matrices and targeted trapdoored matrices. These primitives are designed to mask operands before requesting their product from a server, thereby enhancing both security and computational efficiency. The chapter provides detailed constructions of these primitives under a standard Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) hardness assumption, ensuring robust security. The authors also implement and benchmark their protocol, demonstrating its practicality and efficiency. The protocol achieves both theoretically and practically small complexity blowup over computation in the clear, significantly reducing client computation. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the potential for further improvements and broader applications of these techniques in secure linear algebra.
