| contents | We revisit the oblivious transfer (OT) capacities of noisy channels against the passive adversary, which have been identified only for a limited class of channels. In the literature, the general construction of oblivious transfer has been known only for generalized erasure channels (GECs); for other channels, we first convert a given channel to a GEC via alphabet extension and erasure emulation, and then apply the general construction for GEC. In this paper, we derive an improved lower bound on the OT capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and binary symmetric erasure channel (BSEC) by proposing a new protocol; by using interactive communication between the sender and the receiver, our protocol emulates erasure events recursively in multiple rounds. We also discuss a potential necessity of multiple rounds interactive communication to attain the OT capacity. |
