Abstract
Chaffing-and-winnowing is a cryptographic technique which does not require encryption but instead use a message authentication code (MAC) to provide the same function as encryption. Hanaoka et al. showed that an unconditionally secure chaffing-and-winnowing with one-time security can be constructed from any authentication code (A-code) (with one-time security). In this paper, we show a construction of unconditionally secure chaffing-and-winnowing for multiple use and prove the security of perfect secrecy and non-malleability.
Additionally, we investigate a relation between encryption and authentication in more detail. Particularly, we show through chaffing-and-winnowing that a fully secure A-code with a specific property can be converted to a non-malleable one-time pad with a short ciphertext size. Interestingly, when applying this method to a known A-code, this becomes a known construction of a non-malleable one-time pad. This fact implies that the notions of authentication and encryption can be seamlessly connected by chaffing-and-winnowing mechanism.
