Beyond Boolean Circuits in Garbled Circuits
summary
Claims that garbled circuits compile arithmetic gates and RAM to a small set of primitives and that, using only symmetric cryptography (a random oracle), multiplication and memory access cost scale roughly linearly in word size instead of quadratically. The construction compiles programs to a switch system of one-hot vector lookups plus XORs, pays communication only at join gates, and achieves short encodings for small-word arithmetic and RAM-style access while preserving obliviousness via simple randomness.
