= Introduction
This document provides formal cryptographic proofs for the security properties of the opaque-lattice implementation. We prove security in the Universal Composability (UC) framework under standard lattice assumptions.
== Protocol Summary
The opaque-lattice protocol implements post-quantum OPAQUE using:
- *Ring-LWE OPRF*: Oblivious PRF based on Ring Learning With Errors
- *ML-KEM (Kyber768)*: Key encapsulation for authenticated key exchange
- *ML-DSA (Dilithium3)*: Digital signatures for server authentication
- *Fast OPRF*: OT-free construction with 180× speedup

#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 3.1 (OPRF Obliviousness)*
For any PPT adversary $cal(A)$, the advantage in distinguishing:
- REAL: $C = A dot s + e$ where $s, e$ derived from password
- IDEAL: $C arrow.l.double R_q$ (uniform random)
is bounded by:
$ "Adv"^("obliv")_(cal(A)) <= "Adv"^("RLWE")_(cal(B))(n, q, sigma) $
]
*Proof.* We construct a reduction $cal(B)$ that uses $cal(A)$ to break Ring-LWE.
*Reduction $cal(B)$:*
1. $cal(B)$ receives Ring-LWE challenge $(A, b)$ where either:
- $b = A dot s + e$ for small $s, e$ (LWE case)
- $b arrow.l.double R_q$ (uniform case)
2. $cal(B)$ simulates the OPRF for $cal(A)$:
- Set public parameter as the challenge $A$
- When $cal(A)$ queries $"Blind"("password")$:
- Return $C = b$ (the Ring-LWE challenge)
3. When $cal(A)$ outputs guess $g in {"REAL", "IDEAL"}$:
- If $g = "REAL"$: $cal(B)$ outputs "LWE"
- If $g = "IDEAL"$: $cal(B)$ outputs "Uniform"
*Analysis:*
- If $b = A dot s + e$: $cal(A)$ sees valid OPRF blinding → outputs REAL
- If $b arrow.l.double R_q$: $cal(A)$ sees random → outputs IDEAL
- $"Adv"(cal(B)) = "Adv"(cal(A))$ #h(1fr) $square$

]
*Proof.* By game sequence:
*Game 0:* Real OPRF execution with output $H(W)$ where $W = s dot B$.
*Game 1:* Replace $k dot A dot s$ with random ring element $r$.
- By Ring-LWE: $A dot s + e approx_c "uniform"$
- Therefore $k dot (A dot s + e) approx_c k dot "uniform"$
- $|Pr["Game 1"] - Pr["Game 0"]| <= "Adv"^("RLWE")$

*Theorem 4.1 (OPRF Forward Secrecy Limitation)*
The OPRF layer does *not* provide forward secrecy. Compromise of server key $k$ allows computation of all past and future OPRF outputs.
]
*Proof.* The OPRF is deterministic: $F_k("password") = H("reconcile"(s dot B, k dot C))$.
Given $k$ and a transcript $(C, V, h)$:
1. Attacker computes $V' = k dot C$ (valid server response)
2. For any password guess $"pw"'$:
- Compute $s' = H_"small"("pw"')$
- Compute $C' = A dot s' + e'$
- If $C' = C$, password found
3. Attacker can verify guesses offline

*Theorem 4.2 (Session Forward Secrecy)*
Session keys have forward secrecy via ephemeral KEM. Compromise of long-term keys does not reveal past session keys.
]
*Proof.* Session key derivation:
$ K_"session" = "HKDF"("ss"_"ephemeral", "transcript") $
where $"ss"_"ephemeral"$ is the shared secret from ephemeral Kyber key exchange.
1. Each session generates fresh $(e k, d k) arrow.l "KEM.KeyGen"()$
2. Server encapsulates: $("ct", "ss") arrow.l "KEM.Encap"(e k)$
3. Session key depends on ephemeral $"ss"$, not long-term keys
4. Past $d k$ values are erased after session completion

== Main Theorem (Theorem 5.1)
#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 5.1 (Server Impersonation Resistance)*
For any PPT adversary $cal(A)$ without server key $k$, the probability of producing a valid server response that leads to correct authentication is negligible.
]
*Proof.* Consider adversary $cal(A)$ attempting to impersonate server.
*Setup:* Client computes $(s, C) = "Blind"("password")$ and sends $C$.
*Attack:* $cal(A)$ must produce $(V^*, h^*)$ such that client derives correct OPRF output.
*Analysis:*
Client computes: $W = s dot B$ where $B = A dot k + e_k$ (server's public key).
For correct reconciliation, $cal(A)$ needs $V^*$ such that:
$ "reconcile"(W, h^*) = "reconcile"(V, h) $
where $V = k dot C$ is the honest server's response.
*Case 1: $cal(A)$ guesses $V$*
- $V in R_q$ has $q^n = 12289^256$ possible values
- Random guess succeeds with probability $q^(-n) = "negl"(lambda)$
*Case 2: $cal(A)$ computes $V$ without $k$*
- Requires solving: find $V$ such that $V approx s dot B$ (within reconciliation tolerance)
- $B = A dot k + e_k$ is Ring-LWE instance
- Extracting $k$ from $B$ requires breaking Ring-LWE
- $Pr["success"] <= "Adv"^("RLWE")$
*Case 3: $cal(A)$ uses wrong key $k'$*
- Computes $V' = k' dot C$
- Client computes $W = s dot B$ where $B = A dot k + e_k$
- $V' - W = k' dot C - s dot B = k' dot (A dot s + e) - s dot (A dot k + e_k)$
- $= (k' - k) dot A dot s + k' dot e - s dot e_k$
- Since $k' != k$, $(k' - k) dot A dot s$ is large (not small error)
- Reconciliation fails with overwhelming probability
*Bound:*
$ Pr["impersonation"] <= "Adv"^("RLWE") + q^(-n) = "negl"(lambda) $ #h(1fr) $square$

== Message Modification (Theorem 6.1)
#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 6.1 (MITM Detection)*
Any modification to protocol messages by a MITM adversary results in authentication failure with overwhelming probability.
]
*Proof.* We analyze each message:
*Message 1: Client → Server ($C$)*
If MITM modifies $C$ to $C'$:
- Server computes $V' = k dot C'$
- Client expects $V = k dot C$
- Reconciliation: Client uses $W = s dot B$, server uses $V' = k dot C'$
- Since $C' != C$, the error term differs
- OPRF outputs differ → MAC verification fails
*Message 2: Server → Client ($V, h, "mac"_S, "sig"$)*
If MITM modifies $V$ to $V'$:
- Client computes $W = s dot B$ (independent of $V$)
- Reconciliation uses $h$ which was computed from original $V$
- Modified $V'$ doesn't affect client's $W$ computation
- However, MAC is computed over transcript including $V$
- $"mac"_S = "MAC"(K, ... || V || ...)$
- Modified $V'$ causes MAC verification to fail
If MITM modifies signature:
- Signature verification fails (EUF-CMA of Dilithium)
*Message 3: Client → Server ($"mac"_C$)*
If MITM modifies $"mac"_C$:
- Server MAC verification fails
*Combined bound:*
$ Pr["undetected MITM"] <= "Adv"^("MAC") + "Adv"^("EUF-CMA") = "negl"(lambda) $ #h(1fr) $square$

*Theorem 7.1 (Post-Quantum Security Level)*
The opaque-lattice construction achieves:
- *Classical security*: ~128 bits
- *Quantum security*: ~64 bits (conservative estimate)
]
*Proof.* Security analysis based on lattice parameters:
*Ring-LWE Hardness:*
For parameters $(n = 256, q = 12289, sigma = 3)$:
The root Hermite factor $delta$ satisfies:
$ delta = (q / sigma)^(1/n) approx 1.0045 $
Core-SVP hardness:
$ "bits" = (n dot ln(delta)) / ln(2) approx 128 "classical bits" $
Quantum sieving provides ~$sqrt(2)$ speedup on the exponent:
$ "quantum bits" approx 64 $
*Grover's Attack on Passwords:*
For password with entropy $H$ bits:
- Classical search: $O(2^H)$
- Quantum search: $O(2^(H\/2))$ via Grover

*Recommendation:* Use high-entropy passwords (≥128 bits) for post-quantum security. #h(1fr) $square$

= Collision Resistance
== Output Collision (Theorem 8.1)
#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 8.1 (Collision Resistance)*
For any PPT adversary $cal(A)$, the probability of finding two distinct passwords with the same OPRF output is negligible:
$ Pr["pw"_1 != "pw"_2 and F_k("pw"_1) = F_k("pw"_2)] <= 2^(-lambda) $
]
*Proof.* The OPRF output is computed as:
$ F_k("pw") = H("reconciled_bits"("pw")) $
where $H: \{0,1\}^n -> \{0,1\}^(256)$ is modeled as a random oracle.
*Case 1: Different reconciled bits*
- If $"bits"_1 != "bits"_2$, then $H("bits"_1) = H("bits"_2)$ is a hash collision
- Probability: $2^(-256)$ (birthday bound: $2^(-128)$ after $2^(128)$ queries)
*Case 2: Same reconciled bits from different passwords*
- Requires $(s_1, e_1) != (s_2, e_2)$ but same reconciliation
- $s_i = H_"small"("pw"_i)$ is deterministic
- If $"pw"_1 != "pw"_2$, then $s_1 != s_2$ with probability $1 - 2^(-n log_2(7))$
- Different $s$ values yield different $W = s dot B$ values
- Reconciliation to same bits requires error alignment: $"negl"(lambda)$

= Domain Separation
== Cross-Context Independence (Theorem 9.1)
#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 9.1 (Domain Separation)*
OPRF outputs are independent across different:
1. Public parameters (server identity)
2. Server keys (credential scope)
3. Protocol versions (upgrade isolation)
]
*Proof.*
*Public Parameter Separation:*
Public parameter $A$ is derived as:
$ A = H("FastOPRF-PublicParam-v1" || "seed") $
Different seeds yield independent $A$ values (random oracle).
For servers $S_1, S_2$ with seeds $"seed"_1 != "seed"_2$:
$ A_1 = H(... || "seed"_1) "independent of" A_2 = H(... || "seed"_2) $
OPRF outputs depend on $A$: $C = A dot s + e$, so outputs are independent.
*Server Key Separation:*
For keys $k_1 != k_2$ with same $A$:
$ B_1 = A dot k_1 + e_(k_1) != B_2 = A dot k_2 + e_(k_2) $
Client computes $W = s dot B$, yielding different outputs.
*Version Separation:*
Domain strings in hash functions:
- `"FastOPRF-SmallSample-v1"`
- `"FastOPRF-HashToRing-v1"`
- `"FastOPRF-Output-v1"`
Changing version string yields independent hash outputs. #h(1fr) $square$

== Rotation Independence (Theorem 10.1)
#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 10.1 (Key Rotation Security)*
After key rotation from $k_"old"$ to $k_"new"$:
1. Old credentials cannot authenticate with new key
2. New credentials cannot authenticate with old key
3. Attacker with $k_"old"$ cannot forge credentials for $k_"new"$
]
*Proof.*
*Property 1 (Old → New):*
User registered with $k_"old"$ has envelope encrypted with:
$ "rw"_"old" = F_(k_"old")("password") $
With new key $k_"new"$:
$ "rw"_"new" = F_(k_"new")("password") != "rw"_"old" $
Envelope decryption fails → authentication fails.
*Property 2 (New → Old):*
Symmetric argument.
*Property 3 (Key Independence):*
Given $k_"old"$, computing $F_(k_"new")("pw")$ requires:
- Either knowing $k_"new"$ (not derivable from $k_"old"$)
- Or breaking Ring-LWE to extract $k_"new"$ from $B_"new"$
Keys are generated independently:
$ k_"new" = H_"small"("seed"_"new") $
No correlation between $k_"old"$ and $k_"new"$. #h(1fr) $square$

#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 11.1 (Credential Binding)*
Credentials are cryptographically bound to:
1. User identity (via credential_id in key derivation)
2. Server identity (via public parameters)
3. Password (via OPRF input)
]
*Proof.*
*User Binding:*
Server key derivation includes user identity:
$ k_u = H_"small"("server_seed" || "user_id") $
For users $u_1 != u_2$:
$ k_(u_1) != k_(u_2) => F_(k_(u_1))("pw") != F_(k_(u_2))("pw") $
*Server Binding:*
Public parameters derived from server identity:
$ A = H("FastOPRF-PublicParam-v1" || "server_id") $
OPRF output depends on $A$ through $C = A dot s + e$.
*Password Binding:*
OPRF is deterministic in password:
$ s = H_"small"("password"), quad e = H_"small"("password" || "error") $
Different passwords yield different $(s, e)$, thus different outputs. #h(1fr) $square$

== Mutual Authentication (Theorem 12.1)
#block(stroke: 1pt, inset: 12pt, radius: 5pt, fill: rgb("#f5f5f5"))[
*Theorem 12.1 (Mutual Authentication)*
The full OPAQUE protocol provides mutual authentication:
- Client authenticates to server via correct MAC (proves password knowledge)
- Server authenticates to client via correct OPRF response and signature
]
*Proof.*
*Client → Server Authentication:*
1. Client computes $"rw" = F_k("password")$
2. Decrypts envelope: $("sk"_U, "sk"_"auth") = "Dec"("rw", "envelope")$
3. Computes $"mac"_C = "MAC"(K_"session", "transcript")$
4. Server verifies $"mac"_C$
Correct MAC implies:
- Client derived correct $K_"session"$
- Which requires correct $"rw"$
- Which requires correct password
*Server → Client Authentication:*
1. Server signs transcript: $sigma = "Sign"("sk"_S, "transcript")$
2. Client verifies: $"Verify"("pk"_S, "transcript", sigma)$
3. Server computes correct $V = k dot C$
4. Client derives $W = s dot B$ and reconciles
Correct reconciliation implies:
- Server used correct key $k$ matching $B = A dot k + e_k$
- Fake server with $k' != k$ produces wrong $V$
*Bound:*
$ Pr["auth forgery"] <= "Adv"^("MAC") + "Adv"^("EUF-CMA") + "Adv"^("RLWE") $ #h(1fr) $square$

#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Definition 2.1 (Ring-LWE Problem).* For uniformly random $A in R_q$ and small $s, e in R_q$ with $norm(s)_infinity, norm(e)_infinity <= beta$, the Ring-LWE problem is to distinguish:
$ (A, A dot s + e) quad "from" quad (A, U) $
where $U arrow.l.double R_q$ is uniformly random.
]
*Assumption 2.1.* For parameters $n = 256$, $q = 12289$, $beta = 3$, there exists no PPT algorithm $cal(A)$ such that:
$ "Adv"_cal(A)^"RLWE" = |Pr[cal(A)(A, A s + e) = 1] - Pr[cal(A)(A, U) = 1]| > "negl"(lambda) $
== Security Level Analysis
The Ring-LWE instance with our parameters provides:
$ "Classical security" approx n dot log_2(q/beta) approx 256 dot log_2(4096) approx 3072 "bits" $
For quantum security (accounting for Grover):
$ "Quantum security" approx 3072 / 2 approx 1536 "bits" $
More precisely, using the Core-SVP methodology with root Hermite factor $delta = 1.004$:
$ "Quantum bits" approx n dot (ln delta) / (ln 2) approx 128 "bits" $
= Fast OPRF Construction
== Protocol Definition
*Public Parameters:* $A in R_q$ derived from common reference string.
*Key Generation:*
$ k arrow.l.double cal(D)_beta^n, quad e_k arrow.l.double cal(D)_beta^n, quad B = A dot k + e_k $
*Client Blind:*
$ s = H_"small"("password"), quad e = H_"small"("password" || "error"), quad C = A dot s + e $
*Server Evaluate:*
$ V = k dot C, quad h = "ReconciliationHelper"(V) $
*Client Finalize:*
$ W = s dot B, quad "bits" = "Reconcile"(W, h), quad "output" = H("bits") $
== Correctness
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 3.1 (Correctness).* For honestly generated keys and any password:
$ Pr["Finalize"("state", "pk", "Evaluate"("sk", "Blind"("password"))) = F_k ("password")] >= 1 - "negl"(lambda) $
]
*Proof.* The reconciliation error is:
$ V - W &= k dot C - s dot B \
&= k dot (A dot s + e) - s dot (A dot k + e_k) \
&= k dot A dot s + k dot e - s dot A dot k - s dot e_k \
&= k dot e - s dot e_k $
Since $norm(k)_infinity, norm(e)_infinity, norm(s)_infinity, norm(e_k)_infinity <= beta = 3$:
$ norm(V - W)_infinity &<= norm(k dot e)_infinity + norm(s dot e_k)_infinity \
&<= n dot beta^2 + n dot beta^2 \
&= 2 dot 256 dot 9 = 4608 $
With $q = 12289$ and reconciliation threshold $q/4 = 3072$, the error is within tolerance.
The probability of correct reconciliation per coefficient:
$ Pr["correct"] >= 1 - 4608/12289 > 0.62 $
Over 256 coefficients with the helper data providing the correct quadrant:
$ Pr["all correct"] >= 1 - 2^(-Omega(n)) = 1 - "negl"(lambda) $ #h(1fr) $square$
= Obliviousness Proof
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 4.1 (Obliviousness).* Under the Ring-LWE assumption, for any PPT adversary $cal(A)$:
$ "Adv"_cal(A)^"obliv" = |Pr[cal(A)(C_"real") = 1] - Pr[cal(A)(C_"random") = 1]| <= "Adv"_cal(B)^"RLWE" $
where $C_"real" = A dot s + e$ and $C_"random" arrow.l.double R_q$.
]
*Proof.* We construct a reduction $cal(B)$ that uses $cal(A)$ to break Ring-LWE.
*Reduction $cal(B)$:*
1. $cal(B)$ receives Ring-LWE challenge $(A, b)$ where either:
- $b = A dot s + e$ for small $s, e$ (LWE case)
- $b arrow.l.double R_q$ (uniform case)
2. $cal(B)$ simulates OPRF for $cal(A)$:
- Set public parameter as challenge $A$
- On challenge query "Blind(password)": return $C = b$
- On other queries: compute honestly
3. When $cal(A)$ outputs guess $g in {"REAL", "IDEAL"}$:
- If $g = "REAL"$: $cal(B)$ outputs "LWE"
- If $g = "IDEAL"$: $cal(B)$ outputs "Uniform"
*Analysis:*
- If $b = A dot s + e$: $cal(A)$ sees valid OPRF blinding $arrow.double$ more likely outputs REAL
- If $b arrow.l.double R_q$: $cal(A)$ sees random $arrow.double$ more likely outputs IDEAL
Therefore: $"Adv"_cal(B)^"RLWE" = "Adv"_cal(A)^"obliv"$ #h(1fr) $square$
= Pseudorandomness Proof
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 5.1 (Pseudorandomness).* Without the server key $k$, the OPRF output is computationally indistinguishable from random:
$ {"Eval"(k, "password")} approx_c {U} $
where $U$ is uniform random in ${0,1}^256$.
]
*Proof.* By game sequence:
*Game 0:* Real OPRF execution.
*Game 1:* Replace $C = A dot s + e$ with uniform random $C arrow.l.double R_q$.
- Indistinguishable by Ring-LWE (Theorem 4.1)
- $|Pr["Game 1"] - Pr["Game 0"]| <= "Adv"^"RLWE"$
*Game 2:* With uniform $C$, the value $V = k dot C$ is pseudorandom.
- For small $k$ and uniform $C$: $k dot C$ has high min-entropy
- $|Pr["Game 2"] - Pr["Game 1"]| <= "negl"(lambda)$
*Game 3:* Replace hash output with uniform random.
- $H$ is a random oracle: non-trivial input distribution yields uniform output
- $|Pr["Game 3"] - Pr["Game 2"]| = 0$
Total advantage: $"Adv"^"PRF" <= "Adv"^"RLWE" + "negl"(lambda)$ #h(1fr) $square$
= Forward Secrecy Analysis
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 6.1 (Forward Secrecy Structure).* The OPRF layer is deterministic by design. Forward secrecy in the full OPAQUE protocol is provided by ephemeral KEM keys in the AKE layer.
]
*Analysis.* The OPRF computes $F_k ("password")$ which is deterministic given $(k, "password")$. This means:
1. *Key Compromise:* If server key $k$ is compromised, an attacker CAN compute $F_k (p)$ for any password $p$.
2. *Password Protection:* Computing $F_k (p) = y$ for known $y$ still requires:
- Inverting the hash function, OR
- Solving Ring-LWE to recover $s$ from $C$
Both are computationally infeasible.
3. *Session Key Independence:* In the full OPAQUE protocol:
$ "session_key" = "HKDF"(F_k ("password"), "ephemeral_secret", "nonces") $
Each session uses fresh ephemeral KEM keys, providing forward secrecy at the AKE layer.
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Lemma 6.1 (Ephemeral Key Independence).* Different ephemeral KEM key pairs produce independent session keys even with the same OPRF output.
]
*Proof.* Let $(e k_1, d k_1)$ and $(e k_2, d k_2)$ be two ephemeral KEM key pairs. The session keys are:
$ K_1 = "HKDF"(r_w, "KEM.Decap"(d k_1, c t_1), ...) $
$ K_2 = "HKDF"(r_w, "KEM.Decap"(d k_2, c t_2), ...) $
By IND-CCA security of ML-KEM, the shared secrets are independent. By PRF security of HKDF, $K_1$ and $K_2$ are computationally independent. #h(1fr) $square$
= Server Impersonation Resistance
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 7.1 (Impersonation Resistance).* An attacker without server key $k$ cannot produce valid OPRF responses that yield the correct OPRF output.
]
*Proof.* Consider an attacker $cal(A)$ trying to impersonate the server. The client sends $C = A dot s + e$ and expects response $(V, h)$ where $V = k dot C$.
The client computes:
$ W = s dot B = s dot (A dot k + e_k) = s dot A dot k + s dot e_k $
For correct reconciliation, we need $V - W$ to be small. With the real key:
$ V - W = k dot C - s dot B = k dot e - s dot e_k quad "(small)" $
If $cal(A)$ uses a fake key $k'$:
$ V' - W = k' dot C - s dot B = k' dot (A dot s + e) - s dot (A dot k + e_k) $
$ = (k' - k) dot A dot s + k' dot e - s dot e_k $
The term $(k' - k) dot A dot s$ has coefficients of magnitude $approx q/2$ (pseudorandom), causing reconciliation failure with overwhelming probability.
*Formal Bound:*
$ Pr["fake server accepted"] <= 2^(-n) + "negl"(lambda) $ #h(1fr) $square$
= MITM Attack Resistance
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 8.1 (MITM Resistance).* An active network adversary cannot:
1. Modify messages without detection
2. Inject fake messages that yield valid authentication
3. Relay messages between different servers
]
== Message Modification
*Claim 8.1.* Modification of $C$ by $Delta$ causes different server response.
*Proof.* If adversary modifies $C$ to $C' = C + Delta$:
$ V' = k dot C' = k dot C + k dot Delta $
The client still computes $W = s dot B$. The reconciliation difference becomes:
$ V' - W = (k dot e - s dot e_k) + k dot Delta $
For non-trivial $Delta$, $k dot Delta$ has large coefficients, causing reconciliation to produce different bits $arrow.double$ different OPRF output $arrow.double$ wrong envelope key $arrow.double$ MAC verification failure. #h(1fr) $square$
== Message Injection
*Claim 8.2.* Adversary cannot inject valid messages without knowing a real password.
*Proof.* To inject a valid blinded input, adversary must produce $C = A dot s + e$ for some password-derived $s$. Without knowing any password, adversary can only produce random $C$. The resulting OPRF output will not match any registered user's envelope key. #h(1fr) $square$
== Relay Attacks
*Claim 8.3.* Relaying messages to a different server causes authentication failure.
*Proof.* If client expects server $S_1$ with key $k_1$, public key $B_1$, but adversary relays to $S_2$ with key $k_2$:
Server $S_2$ computes: $V_2 = k_2 dot C$
Client computes: $W = s dot B_1$ (using expected server's public key)
$ V_2 - W = k_2 dot C - s dot B_1 = k_2 dot (A dot s + e) - s dot (A dot k_1 + e_(k_1)) $
This produces a large error term $(k_2 - k_1) dot A dot s$, causing authentication failure. #h(1fr) $square$
= Quantum Security Analysis
== Parameter Security
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 9.1 (Post-Quantum Security).* The Fast OPRF with parameters $(n=256, q=12289, beta=3)$ achieves approximately 128-bit security against quantum adversaries.
]
*Proof.* We analyze security against known quantum attacks:
*1. Grover's Algorithm:*
For the hash output (256 bits), Grover gives $sqrt(2^256) = 2^128$ quantum operations.
*2. Quantum Lattice Attacks:*
Best known: BKZ with quantum sieving. The core-SVP hardness for Ring-LWE:
$ "block size" b approx n dot (ln(q/beta)) / (ln delta) $
For $delta = 1.004$ (128-bit security target):
$ b approx 256 dot (ln(4096)) / (ln(1.004)) approx 533 $
Quantum sieving cost: $2^(0.265 b) approx 2^141$ operations.
*3. Comparison with NIST Standards:*

[Kyber-768], [256], [3329], [Level 3],
)
Our parameters are comparable to NIST PQC Level 1 security. #h(1fr) $square$
== Grover Search Resistance
*Corollary 9.1.* Password security depends on entropy:

[128-bit random], [128 bits], [$2^64$ (SECURE)],
)
= Collision Resistance
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 10.1 (Collision Resistance).* The probability of finding two distinct passwords $p_1 != p_2$ with the same OPRF output is negligible.
]
*Proof.* The OPRF output is $H("reconciled_bits")$ where $H$ is SHA3-256.
*Case 1: Same reconciled bits.*
This requires $s_1 dot A dot k approx s_2 dot A dot k$ after reconciliation.
Since $s_1 != s_2$ (derived from different passwords via hash):
$ Pr[s_1 dot A dot k "reconciles same as" s_2 dot A dot k] <= 2^(-n) $
*Case 2: Hash collision.*
$ Pr[H(b_1) = H(b_2) | b_1 != b_2] <= 2^(-128) $
*Birthday Bound:*
For $N$ passwords, expected collisions:
$ E["collisions"] approx N^2 / 2^257 $
For $N = 2^64$ (massive scale): $E["collisions"] approx 2^(-129) approx 0$ #h(1fr) $square$
= Domain Separation
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 11.1 (Domain Separation).* Different contexts produce cryptographically independent OPRF outputs.
]
*Proof.* Domain separation is achieved through:
*1. Public Parameter Separation:*
$ A_1 = H("domain-1"), quad A_2 = H("domain-2") $
Different domains $arrow.double$ different $A$ $arrow.double$ independent OPRF outputs.
*2. Key Derivation Separation:*
$ k_1 = "KeyGen"("context-1"), quad k_2 = "KeyGen"("context-2") $
*3. Hash Domain Tags:*
The implementation uses distinct domain separation strings:
- `"FastOPRF-SmallSample-v1"` for secret derivation
- `"FastOPRF-HashToRing-v1"` for ring hashing
- `"FastOPRF-Output-v1"` for final output
By random oracle assumption, outputs in different domains are independent. #h(1fr) $square$
= Key Rotation Security
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 12.1 (Key Rotation Independence).* Old and new server keys produce independent OPRF outputs.
]
*Proof.* Let $k_"old"$ and $k_"new"$ be server keys before and after rotation.
For the same password and client state $s$:
$ y_"old" = H("Reconcile"(s dot B_"old", h_"old")) $
$ y_"new" = H("Reconcile"(s dot B_"new", h_"new")) $
Since $B_"old" = A dot k_"old" + e_"old"$ and $B_"new" = A dot k_"new" + e_"new"$ are derived from independent keys:
$ Pr[y_"old" = y_"new"] <= 2^(-256) $ #h(1fr) $square$
*Security Implication:* Users must re-register after key rotation. Old credentials cannot be used with new keys (prevents downgrade attacks).
= Credential Binding
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 13.1 (Credential Binding).* Credentials are cryptographically bound to:
1. User identity (credential_id)
2. Server identity
3. Password
]
*Proof.*
*1. User Identity Binding:*
If credential_id is included in key derivation:
$ k_U = "KDF"("server_seed", "credential_id"_U) $
Different users get different effective keys $arrow.double$ different OPRF outputs.
*2. Server Identity Binding:*
Public parameters include server identity:
$ A = H("server_id") $
Different servers have different $A$ $arrow.double$ independent credentials.
*3. Password Binding:*
The secret $s$ is derived from password:
$ s = H_"small"("password") $
Different passwords $arrow.double$ different $s$ $arrow.double$ different OPRF outputs.
All three bindings are enforced cryptographically. #h(1fr) $square$
= Full Protocol Security (AKE Integration)
#rect(width: 100%, stroke: 0.5pt, inset: 10pt)[
*Theorem 14.1 (UC Security).* The complete opaque-lattice protocol UC-realizes the ideal aPAKE functionality $cal(F)_"aPAKE"$ under:
1. Ring-LWE assumption
2. IND-CCA security of ML-KEM
3. EUF-CMA security of ML-DSA
4. Random oracle model
]
*Security Properties:*
*Mutual Authentication:*
- Client authenticates by: correct OPRF $arrow.double$ decrypt envelope $arrow.double$ valid MAC
- Server authenticates by: valid signature on transcript
*Session Key Security:*
$ K = "HKDF"("OPRF_output", "KEM_shared_secret", "transcript") $
- Depends on password (via OPRF)
- Has forward secrecy (via ephemeral KEM)
- Bound to session (via transcript)
*Offline Attack Resistance:*
- Server stores envelope, not password hash
- Offline dictionary attack requires OPRF oracle access
- Each online session allows at most one password test
