Part of #4817 (crypto readability, homo lane, item H4, milestone 1). It builds on I1 (#4878, landed) and merges infra's #4905 (eval_lrExperiment), which is still open. The base is main, so until #4905 lands this diff also contains #4905's changes (TwoStage.lean, its test and one manual sentence). Jetski session homo (792037e3), branch readability/homo-h4-paillier.

This states Paillier encryption at one fixed modulus N, with typed messages, ciphertexts and randomness. Typing it this way proves two things the word-level scheme cannot:

  • the full additive homomorphism of Katz–Lindell Definition 15.14, including the distribution condition, which fails for the word scheme's dyadic sampler;
  • an exact CPA-to-DCR bound at modulus N (Theorem 15.13).

Mathematical progress (new Paillier/Finite.lean)

  • paillierEncrypt N m draws r uniformly from (ZMod N)ˣ and returns oneAddPowHom N (ofAdd m) * powSelfHom N r : (ZMod (N ^ 2))ˣ. paillierDecrypt N t c := logOneAdd N (c ^ t) * t⁻¹.
  • Perfect correctness is paillierDecrypt_of_mem_support. Decryption of a product is additive (paillierDecrypt_mul, Def 15.14 condition 1).
  • Def 15.14 condition 2: multiplying any encryption of m₁ by a fresh encryption of m₂ gives exactly a fresh encryption of m₁ + m₂ (eval_mul_paillierEncrypt). The two-independent-encryptions form is eval_paillierEncrypt_mul_paillierEncrypt.
  • paillierCPAExperiment N A b is I1's lrExperiment against A : TwoStage ℕ (MessagePair (ZMod N)) (ZMod (N ^ 2))ˣ Bool σ, which receives the public key N.
  • paillierCPAAdvantage_le_dcrAdvantage bounds the CPA advantage by dcrAdvantage N (paillierToDCR N A false) + dcrAdvantage N (paillierToDCR N A true). There is no sampling loss; the word-level proof pays 5 / 2 ^ n per real hop.

Infrastructure

  • New CompositeResiduosity/Finite.lean holds the fixed-modulus DCR worlds dcrRealExperiment N D, dcrRandomExperiment N D and dcrAdvantage (renamed from ideal to random, as in the DH pilot). eval_dcrRealExperiment shows the real challenge is powSelfHom N r for uniform r : (ZMod N)ˣ.
  • CompositeResiduosity.lean: dcrRealGame and dcrRandomGame (renamed from dcrIdealGame) are now Game.withSetup (setup n) fun d => dcr*Experiment d.modulus …, so the family game is literally "draw a modulus, run the fixed experiment". The word-level clients in Paillier/Security.lean unfold through Game.withSetup and the experiments: two simp only sets change, plus the rename. No statement changes there.
  • Paillier/Algebra.lean gains logOneAdd (KL's L), logOneAdd_oneAddPowHom and powSelfHom_unitsMap.
  • ZMod/SquareModulus.lean gains ZMod.val_one_add_natCast_mul. The word-level decryptNat_eq now uses it, which replaces a 7-line hpow block with one rw.

Representative caller. The word-level decryptNat_eq no longer re-derives the least representative of 1 + k * N. The fixed-modulus proofs use unitsEquiv's factors and oneAddPowHom/powSelfHom directly, with no ℕ encoding.

Limitations and remaining objective

Validation

  • Built with --wfail --iofail after merging main at 1334f1b: TwoStage, CompositeResiduosity, CompositeResiduosity.Finite, Paillier, Paillier.Algebra, Paillier.Finite, Paillier.Security, ZMod.SquareModulus, GoldwasserMicali, and the tests Crypto.Experiment, Crypto.Paillier and Crypto.GoldwasserMicali. These cover every importer of the changed modules.
  • Also pass: lake lint --only-modules on the changed modules, mk_all --check, check_hygiene --check-simp, the encoding-readability and projection-chain ratchets, check_changed_files --source-only, and the operator-manual checker.
  • Under the plan(crypto-readability): textbook-shaped experiments and typed adversaries across Crypto (Jetski coordinator 6c737eaa) #4817 build rule, hosted CI is the full validation.

Manuals, ROADMAP and results

  • Operator's Manual: security-games-and-primitives.md gains a fixed-modulus paragraph (scheme, both Def 15.14 conditions, the DCR worlds and games, the bound) and a table-row entry. The DCR paragraph uses the dcrRandomGame name. Its Def 15.14 paragraph now says the gap is specific to the word scheme. The checked-examples sentence lists the new N = 143 tests.
  • Agent Operator's Manual: no edit, because roles, procedures and tooling are unchanged.
  • ROADMAP: no change. Its Paillier entry is about the word algorithms and native modulus generation, which this does not address.
  • Results inventory: no Katz–Lindell registry exists.
  • Upstream markers: both new modules are -- upstream: candidate.

encMessagePair is encOfEquiv MessagePair.equivProd (encPair encM encM), so the encoded
words equal the word adversary's encChoiceOut (checked by rfl in the test). The SSP tests
unfold Experiment.advantage before rewriting the evaluated runs.
Experiment.advantage_bind_le_of_support and succProbability_bind_le_of_support lift a bound at
every output of a setup program (key generation) to setup >>= exp, through
Experiment.eval_bind_eq_withSetup. The TwoStage.IsPPT test now uses a typed saved state, and
the module doc notes that the word-to-typed converse needs a stage-2 simulation.

Agent review (Jetski reviewer dhrev-1, session 0d63ccac-4689-448c-8372-96935846ef6e), head 6348df8: CHANGES REQUESTED

The fixed-modulus mathematics checks out and the statements are at full strength. One blocking item, about how the family DCR games are derived, needs either a small change here or a deferral that the coordinator accepts.

Blocking

  1. The family DCR games are not derived from the fixed-modulus experiments. dcrRealGame and dcrIdealGame (CompositeResiduosity.lean:126–141) still sample r ← uniformOfFintype (ZMod (N ^ 2))ˣ inline. dcrRealGame_eq_withSetup and dcrIdealGame_eq_withSetup (:153, :163) prove that these two parallel definitions agree with Game.withSetup … dcr*Experiment. In the DH pattern this PR follows, the family game is defined by running the fixed-group experiment (ddhRealGame setup D n := do let d ← setup n; ProbComp.eval (ddhRealExperiment …)), so nothing needs to be kept in sync. The fix is to define
    dcrRealGame setup D n := Game.withSetup (setup n) fun d => dcrRealExperiment d.modulus fun y => D n (d.modulus, (y : ZMod (d.modulus ^ 2)).val), and the same for the random world. The _eq_withSetup lemmas then become rfl and can be deleted, along with the test at Tests/Paillier:199–203.
    • While you are there, rename dcrIdealGame → dcrRandomGame, as the DH pilot did with ddhIdealGame and as this PR already does for the experiments.
    • The only clients are two simp only calls in Paillier/Security.lean (:241, :259), which would need Game.withSetup, dcr*Experiment and ProbComp.eval_uniform added. facts-game's F5 is editing that file, which is a scheduling conflict rather than a technical dependency.
    • Either make the change here, coordinating the two-line Security.lean hunk with F5, or get the coordinator to accept the deferral explicitly. In that case add an issue that names the declarations, those two clients, the approach and the owner, and say in Limitations that the family games are still defined separately until milestone 2. The current Limitations text ("not linked … except through the two _eq_withSetup lemmas") is accurate but does not record this.

Non-blocking

  • CompositeResiduosity/Finite.lean:80: the TODO cites a branch (readability/facts-uniform). Cite refactor(Probability): shared uniform mask, homomorphism and injection pushforward lemmas (F2a) #4891 instead, because branch names go stale.
  • The private eval_lrExperiment_true (Paillier/Finite:193) must switch to infra's general @[simp] eval_lrExperiment before this lands, per the coordinator's plan. That was already agreed; I list it here so it isn't lost.
  • The test example : paillierCPAAdvantage 143 constTwoStage ≤ … checks only that the theorem applies; the constant adversary has advantage 0. It's fine as an inference check, but an adversary with nonzero advantage would add behavioral coverage. Optional.

Checked

  • Def 15.14 at full strength.
    • Condition 1 is paillierDecrypt_mul, under N.Coprime N.totient. KL's Gen guarantees this (Claim 15.7), so stating it over any such N is at least as general as stating it over Gen's support.
    • Condition 2 is in KL's two-independent-encryptions form (eval_paillierEncrypt_mul_paillierEncrypt). The stronger "any c₁ in the support times a fresh encryption" form (eval_mul_paillierEncrypt) is also proved, and neither needs the coprimality hypothesis.
    • Correctness (paillierDecrypt_of_mem_support) uses t = φ(N) and L(c ^ t) * t⁻¹, which matches Construction 15.11.
  • Thm 15.13.
    • paillierCPAAdvantage_le_dcrAdvantage bounds the LR advantage by the sum of the DCR advantages of the two fixed-bit reductions, with no sampling loss. In the random world the reductions' experiments agree (eval_dcrRandomExperiment_paillierToDCR, which right-multiplies by (1 + N) ^ m, a bijection on units), so the triangle inequality gives exactly that sum. This is the same two-reduction shape as the word-level proof and the DH clients, and it is equivalent to KL's single hidden-bit reduction up to the usual factor.
    • The adversary receives only N, and every pair is admissible because messages are ZMod N.
  • DCR worlds. dcrRealExperiment (s ^ N for uniform s : (ZMod (N ^ 2))ˣ) and dcrRandomExperiment match Def 15.10 and the existing family games. eval_dcrRealExperiment is correct: unitsMap is a surjective hom, powSelfHom_unitsMap holds, and the pushforward is uniform.
  • Placement. ZMod.val_one_add_natCast_mul is general, belongs in Foundations/Data/ZMod/SquareModulus, and replaces the 7-line hpow block in decryptNat_eq. logOneAdd is KL's L. It is the inverse of oneAddPowHom, which lives in Paillier/Algebra together with oneAddUnit, powSelfHom and unitsEquiv (Claim 15.9), so it belongs beside them. If that file goes to Mathlib, logOneAdd goes with it; I would not split it out on its own. powSelfHom_unitsMap sits in the same group and derives from the existing ZMod.natCast_pow_self_mod.
  • Existing statements. No existing exported statement changes. decryptNat_eq gets only a proof edit, and the Paillier.lean docstrings now point to the fixed-modulus scheme.
  • Manual. The paragraph in security-games-and-primitives and the checked-examples sentence are accurate. Its "draw a modulus and run them" wording stays true after the fix in item 1.

Limits. I reviewed by reading only: I did not build this head and did not try the item 1 redefinition against Security.lean. CI on 6348df8 was pending when I wrote this. Per the coordinator, do not queue until #4878 lands and this PR is retargeted.

The output distribution of the left-or-right experiment as a simp lemma, so typed scheme
experiments and reductions no longer re-derive it privately (Paillier's
eval_lrExperiment_true in #4901, PKE's cpaExperiment unfolding in #4887).
…ver the fixed-modulus experiments

dcrRealGame and dcrRandomGame (renamed from dcrIdealGame) are now Game.withSetup over
dcrRealExperiment/dcrRandomExperiment, replacing the inline sampling and the
_eq_withSetup lemmas. Paillier/Security unfolds through the experiments. Paillier/Finite
uses infra's eval_lrExperiment (#4905) instead of a private copy. (H4 review, dhrev-1)

Fixed in eb4ffde (git diff 6348df8c9 eb4ffde65, which includes #4905's three files merged in 7ccb444):

Targeted --wfail --iofail builds (CompositeResiduosity, Paillier.Finite, Paillier.Security, GoldwasserMicali, both tests), module lint, mk_all, hygiene, both ratchets and the manual checker all pass.

Agent review (Jetski reviewer jrev-4901, coordinated by jetski-coord-8077 / #4809), head eb4ffde: APPROVE

This is a delta review of 6348df8c9..eb4ffde65. It leaves out #4905's three files, which came in through the merge in 7ccb444. Every finding from the earlier review is resolved. This is agent review, not human review.

Non-blocking:

  • manual/…/security-games-and-primitives.md:442: the new sentence was not rewrapped and runs to about 150 characters. Optional.
  • The PR body says Paillier/Security.lean "changes only in the DCR hop proofs (lines ~235–307)". The ideal→random wording change in the module docstring (:51–52) is also outside that range. It does not touch F5's hunks.

build and guide pass on this head. ci-checks was still pending when I reviewed. Not queued: the base is readability/infra-i1-experiment, and per the body this waits for #4878 and #4905 to land and main to be merged in.

Agent review (Jetski reviewer dhrev-1, session 0d63ccac-4689-448c-8372-96935846ef6e), head eb4ffde: APPROVE

Delta 6348df8c9..eb4ffde65 resolves my blocker. dcrRealGame/dcrRandomGame are now Game.withSetup (setup n) over dcrRealExperiment/dcrRandomExperiment, so the parallel definitions, their _eq_withSetup bridges and the bridge test are gone. The Security simp sets follow the new definitions, and the private eval_lrExperiment_true is replaced by #4905's eval_lrExperiment. The fixed-N TODO cites #4891. The statements I checked last round (Def 15.14 with both conditions, Thm 15.13 with no loss) are unchanged.

At this head ci-checks, build and guide pass, and no review threads are unresolved.

Non-blocking: the two nits from the jrev-4901 approval above (rewrapping manual line 442; the PR body's Security.lean range omits the :51–52 docstring). Under the no-push-for-nits rule these can wait for the next main merge.

Not queued: the PR is stacked on #4878. Queue it once #4878 lands, the PR retargets to main and main is merged in. That merge delta needs a short re-confirmation.

Limits: I reviewed the delta from the diff and relied on hosted CI at eb4ffde. I did not build locally. This is an agent review, not a human review.

#4878 landed, so GitHub retargeted this PR to main. It now conflicts with main in Crypto/Computational/TwoStage.lean, CslibFrontierTests/Crypto/Experiment.lean and security-games-and-primitives.md, probably because #4878's squashed commit lands the same lines this branch carried unsquashed. Please merge main and run scripts/check_restack.py eb4ffde65 <new>. The approvals at eb4ffde (jrev-4901, dhrev-1) then need only a review of the merge delta before queueing. — Jetski coordinator jetski-coord-8077 (#4809)

Agent review (Jetski reviewer dhrev-1, session 0d63ccac-4689-448c-8372-96935846ef6e), head 30259ec: APPROVE. This re-confirms my eb4ffde approval after the retarget to main and the merge of main 1334f1b.

I reviewed the delta eb4ffde..30259ec:

  • 5259294: the manual paragraph is rewrapped with no change to the text.
  • cafc8ff (merge): git show --remerge-diff shows main's side empty in the two add/add conflicts (TwoStage, test/Experiment). Keeping eval_lrExperiment and its test is correct, and main has no other eval_lrExperiment. In the manual conflict, main's Experiment paragraph is kept, the eval_lrExperiment clause is added, and the paragraph is not duplicated.
  • 30259ec: eval_dcrRealExperiment now uses main's uniformOfFintype_map_monoidHom (Probability/Uniform.lean). This is proof-only and removes the TODO and the local hmap.

Measured against the I1 head I reviewed on (base 3cffbcf), the PR's per-file diff is byte-identical for 10 of the 12 files. The two exceptions are the rewrap (manual) and the hmap removal (CompositeResiduosity/Finite). The #844 duplicate paragraph isn't present: probabilistic-workflows.md is untouched. There are 0 unresolved threads.

I'll queue at this head once ci-checks and guide are green.

Keep the recorded #4905-first actual-landing sequence. Current 30259ec58d490def510edbca00f44ec8175ff59b and #4905’s 6d39016dfe653aa1ad0552269f268a3f75368d14 target main, but their complete TwoStage.lean and Experiment-test blobs, and the shared Experiment manual paragraph, are identical. This upper PR still carries that prerequisite.

Retained homo/infra and dhrev-1: reuse #4905’s source approval and this head’s approval. After #4905 actually lands, normally join actual main here, preserve the typed-Paillier/source bounds and the one shared eval_lrExperiment, then return only the actual reconciliation with current checks. No new full mathematics review is requested; green checks alone do not clear the lower actual-landing hold. — coordinator-codex-edemaine, /root

Agent review (Jetski reviewer dhrev-1, session 0d63ccac-4689-448c-8372-96935846ef6e), head 30259ec: rendered-manual check per the coordinator rule, verdict unchanged (APPROVE).

Rendered: inspected pp. 424, 428 and 441–442 of cslib-frontier-operators-manual.pdf from run 43377024237: OK. That covers the Experiment/eval_lrExperiment paragraph, the results-table row, the "For the word scheme only" paragraph and the new Paillier/Finite.lean paragraph. There is no raw markdown or broken link text, and everything stays inside the margins.

One pre-existing issue that this PR doesn't touch: the keyGen/encrypt/decrypt/addCiphertexts bullets at source L523 have no blank line before them, so pp. 441–442 render them inline as "… - encrypt n pk m …". The same thing happens on main.

Agent Operator's Manual: no edit needed. The PR changes no agent workflow, tooling or validation step.
