Security Proof for Variable-Length Quantum Key Distribution

Devashish Tupkary, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan, Norbert Lütkenhaus

We present a security proof for variable-length QKD in the Renner framework against IID collective attacks. Our proof can be lifted to coherent attacks using the postselection tech…

Device-independent uncloneable encryption

Srijita Kundu, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan

Uncloneable encryption, first introduced by Broadbent and Lord (TQC 2020) is a quantum encryption scheme in which a quantum ciphertext cannot be distributed between two non-communi…

Security of device-independent quantum key distribution protocols: a review

Ignatius W. Primaatmaja, Koon Tong Goh, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan +3

Device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) is often seen as the ultimate key exchange protocol in terms of security, as it can be performed securely with uncharacterised…

A device-independent protocol for XOR oblivious transfer

Srijita Kundu, Jamie Sikora, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan

Oblivious transfer is a cryptographic primitive where Alice has two bits and Bob wishes to learn some function of them. Ideally, Alice should not learn Bob's desired function choic…
