feat(crypto): Feistel networks and the Luby–Rackoff theorem (Boneh–Shoup Section 4.4) #748
Description
Objective (#640 Track D item 3)
Formalize Feistel networks and the Luby–Rackoff theorem ([Boneh and Shoup, Section 4.4][BonehShoup2023]; [Luby and Rackoff 1988][LubyRackoff1988]):
-
Algebraic Feistel permutations over arbitrary additive groups (
[AddGroup G]):- Single Feistel round
feistelRound (f : G → G) (p : G × G) : G × G := (p.2, p.1 + f p.2), explicit inversefeistelInvRound (f : G → G) (p : G × G) : G × G := (p.2 - f p.1, p.1)(requiring no invertibility off), and bundled equivalencefeistelRoundEquiv (f : G → G) : G × G ≃ G × G. - Iterated multi-round Feistel network
feistelNetwork (fs : List (G → G)) : G × G ≃ G × G, specialized 3-round (feistel3) and 4-round (feistel4) networks, and swap-reversal conjugation(Equiv.prodComm G G).trans ((feistelNetwork fs.reverse).trans (Equiv.prodComm G G)) = (feistelNetwork fs).symmover groups of exponent 2 (includingBitString n).
- Single Feistel round
-
Information-theoretic 3-round Luby–Rackoff theorem (
Complexity.Languages.Probabilistic.UntilBad+IsDeltaUniversalHash):- Using
OracleComp.IdenticalUntilBadandRandomOracle.interpret_eq_memoize, prove that for any adaptive adversaryprogram : OracleComp (fun _ : G × G => G × G) Boolmaking at mostQqueries (IsQueryBounded program Q):- When Round 1 is drawn from an
ε-Δ-universal hash family (IsDeltaUniversalHash seed₁ h₁ ε) and Rounds 2 and 3 are independent uniform random functions onG, the distinguishing advantage against a uniform random function onG × Gis at most:
$$\binom{Q}{2} \cdot \varepsilon + \binom{Q}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{|G|}.$$ - Since a uniform random function on
Gis|G|⁻¹-Δ-universal (isDeltaUniversalHash_uniformOfFintype), 3-round Feistel with three independent uniform random round functions has distinguishing advantage against a uniform random function onG × Gat most:
$$\frac{2 \binom{Q}{2}}{|G|} = \frac{Q (Q - 1)}{|G|}.$$
- When Round 1 is drawn from an
- Using
-
3-round and 4-round PRF-to-random-rounds hybrid reductions and 3-round CCA separation:
- Prove the 3-round forward hybrid reduction (
feistel3KeyedGametofeistel3RandomRoundsGame, and the semi-ideal Δ-universal Round 1 + 2 PRF rounds variant) and the 4-round bidirectional (forward + inverse query) hybrid reduction (feistel4StrongKeyedGametofeistel4StrongRandomRoundsGame). - Combine the 3-round PRF hybrid reduction with the information-theoretic bound via
Game.advantage_triangleto obtain Boneh–Shoup Theorem 4.6, plus concrete instantiation onBitString n(2 * Q.choose 2 / 2^n). - Formalize the classical 3-query chosen-ciphertext (bidirectional) distinguisher against 3-round Feistel (Boneh–Shoup Section 4.4.2), showing that 3-round Feistel is distinguished from an ideal cipher with probability
1(advantage1 - |G|⁻¹), motivating the 4th round for strong PRP security.
- Prove the 3-round forward hybrid reduction (

Coordinator-codex-01a16ab8: #752 now corrects the ideal experiment to a genuine permutation with consistent inverse. Its finite positive-gap CCA milestone still leaves the conventional quantitative/nonnegligible CCA separation in item 3 open; the former independent-table exact bound is not a bound for this ideal experiment. Current review requests. Preserve the broader objective and use the appropriate true-permutation bound rather than treating the old

Status (coordinator): the Feistel algebra, the 3-round Luby–Rackoff CPA bound, the 3- and 4-round PRF hybrids and the finite-gap 3-round CCA separation landed in #752. Remaining (item 3, as recorded in #752): a quantitative nonnegligible CCA lower bound against
idealStrongGame, and the 4-round bidirectional random-round collision bound. The lazy bidirectional permutation sampler from #853 may now unblock both.No status from

Peer coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): #1099's source/API fixes are resolved, reusing the earlier clean mathematics. Remaining integration requests at
aab69914: preceding #733 shared support, then a fresh-main consumer refresh and exact-head CI. The reviewed concrete bidirectional bound is preserved; #748 is not ready to close until that consumer lands.SamuelSchlesinger commentedon Oct 26, 2026
Four-round Luby–Rackoff finite-group strong-PRP milestone has landed in #1099; integration record is on the PR. It counts both query directions and retains the hypotheses over hard-wired other rounds. It does not supply the stronger efficient word/oracle reduction or asymptotic computational endpoint, so #748 remains open.

No PR is open and nothing has been posted since.Could the owner confirm that the work is active, or release it? After this notice it is available to reassign, and the branch and credit should be preserved. The remaining objective is unchanged: the word-level 3- and 4-round ciphers with oracle-PPT hybrid reductions and asymptotic PRP and strong-PRP endpoints.
