Abstract

Witness encryption using multilinear maps was first proposed in 2013, and has continued to evolve since. In this paper, we build on an open-source multilinear map implementation by Carmer and Malozemoff of the graded encoding scheme CLT13 with asymmetric modifications. Using this map, we created the world's first ciphertext encoded with a candidate witness encryption scheme. Finally, using a reduction from Sudoku to Exact Cover, we encrypted the private key to a Bitcoin wallet with 22,700 Satoshi using a Sudoku.
