Abstract(in English) This paper presents the first secure Mix-net that can efficiently handle long messages. All existing schemes limit the length of messages to no more than a single block of the underlying public key encryption scheme, or handle long messages in a heuristic way. Our scheme also enjoys length-invariance, i. e. the length of the input ciphertext does not depend not depend on the number of mix-servers. We adopt hybrid encryption that combines a Diffie-Hellman public key exchange with a common key encryption. The security is proved in the random oracle model by showing a reduction from breaking the anonymity of our scheme to breaking the underlying symmetric encryption scheme or solving the decisional Diffe-Hellman problem. We also show an approach for the robust scheme that outputs correct results in the presence of corrupt servers.
