Summary :

It was proven by Tompa and Woll that some specific random self-reducible problems have perfect zero-knowledge interactive proofs. In this paper, in order to determine a concrete set of random self-reducible problems, we consider a general problem of inverting a surjection from a finite group onto a finite set, and explore its random self-reducibility. The main result shows that there exist group-theoretic conditions for the random self-reducibility, and that any such random self-reducible problem has a perfect zero-knowledge interactive proof. By this result, some classes of random self-reducible problems are defined, and the inclusion relations among them are consequently clarified.
