We proposed a new secure oblivious transfer protocol from indistinguishability obfuscation in this paper. Our main technical tool
is the candidate indistinguishability obfuscation introduced in [1] and
a dual-mode cryptosystem proposed in [2]. Following their steps, we
presents a new k-out-of-l oblivious transfer protocol, its realization from
DDH is described in this paper, in which we combined indistinguishability obfuscation with the dual-mode cryptosystem. The security of our
scheme mainly relies on the indistinguishability of the obf-branches ( corresponding to the two modes in dual-mode model). Our paper explores
a new way for the application of indistinguishability obfuscation.
