Post-Quantum -to-1 Trapdoor Claw-free Functions from Extrapolated Dihedral Cosets

\emph{Noisy trapdoor claw-free function} (NTCF) as a powerful post-quantum cryptographic tool can efficiently constrain actions of untrusted quantum devices. However, the original NTCF is essentially \emph{2-to-1} one-way function (NTCF). In this work, we attempt to further extend the NTCF to achieve \emph{many-to-one} trapdoor claw-free functions with polynomial bounded preimage size. Specifically, we focus on a significant extrapolation of NTCF by drawing on extrapolated dihedral cosets, thereby giving a model of NTCF where is a polynomial integer. Then, we present an efficient construction of NTCF assuming \emph{quantum hardness of the learning with errors (LWE)} problem. We point out that NTCF can be used to bridge the LWE and the dihedral coset problem (DCP). By leveraging NTCF (resp. NTCF), our work reveals a new quantum reduction path from the LWE problem to the DCP (resp. extrapolated DCP). Finally, we demonstrate the NTCF can naturally be reduced to the NTCF, thereby achieving the same application for proving the quantumness.
