Abstract
A coin-tossing protocol lets two parties decide on a string that should be a random (or at least pseudorandom) string. In this paper, we focus on taking advantage of the perfectly hiding commitment scheme, constant-round perfect zero-knowledge arguments and arguments of knowledge to construct a two-party constant-round perfect protocol for secure coin-tossing, where both of two parties can obtain the common resulting coins and the resulting coins are guaranteed to be statistically close to uniform. The security of our protocol is obtained against malicious non-uniform adversaries that may arbitrarily deviate from the protocol specification. Comparing with the Barak´s protocol, we utilize the black-box reduction in the process of security proof and the rounds of our protocol decrease obviously.
