Conversable Quantum Fire in the Standard Model

Ofer Casper, Barak Nehoran, Or Sattath

Quantum fire consists of quantum states that can be efficiently functionally cloned but cannot be transmitted using one-way classical communication. Whereas all previous quantum-fi…

Decentralized Consensus from Quantum Proof of Position

Dar Gilboa, Siddhartha Jain, Or Sattath

We construct an energy efficient consensus protocol with geospatial position as an external resource by using quantum computers. Economic resources of some form are essential in de…

The power of a single Haar random state: constructing and separating quantum pseudorandomness

Boyang Chen, Andrea Coladangelo, Or Sattath

In this work, we focus on the following question: what are the cryptographic implications of having access to an oracle that provides a single Haar random quantum state? We find th…

51% Attack via Difficulty Increase with a Small Quantum Miner

Bolton Bailey, Or Sattath

We present a strategy for a single quantum miner with relatively low hashing power, with the same ramifications as a 51% attack. Bitcoin nodes consider the chain with the highest c…

Signatures From Pseudorandom States via -PRFs

Mohammed Barhoush, Amit Behera, Lior Ozer +2

Different flavors of quantum pseudorandomness have proven useful for various cryptographic applications, with the compelling feature that these primitives are potentially weaker th…

Public-Key Encryption with Quantum Keys

Khashayar Barooti, Alex B. Grilo, Loïs Huguenin-Dumittan +4

In the framework of Impagliazzo's five worlds, a distinction is often made between two worlds, one where public-key encryption exists (Cryptomania), and one in which only one-way f…

Protecting Quantum Procrastinators with Signature Lifting: A Case Study in Cryptocurrencies

Or Sattath, Shai Wyborski

Current solutions to quantum vulnerabilities of widely used cryptographic schemes involve migrating users to post-quantum schemes before quantum attacks become feasible. This work…

Encryption with Quantum Public Keys

Alex B. Grilo, Or Sattath, Quoc-Huy Vu

It is an important question to find constructions of quantum cryptographic protocols which rely on weaker computational assumptions than classical protocols. Recently, it has been…

Quantum Amnesia Leaves Cryptographic Mementos: A Note On Quantum Skepticism

Or Sattath, Uriel Shinar

Leonard Shelby, the protagonist of Memento, uses mementos in the form of tattoos and pictures to handle his amnesia. Similar to Leonard, contemporary quantum computers suffer from…

Uncloneable Cryptography

Or Sattath

The no-cloning theorem asserts that, unlike classical information, quantum information cannot be copied. This seemingly undesirable phenomenon is harnessed in quantum cryptography.…

Quantum Prudent Contracts with Applications to Bitcoin

Or Sattath

Smart contracts are cryptographic protocols that are enforced without a judiciary. Smart contracts are used occasionally in Bitcoin and are prevalent in Ethereum. Public quantum mo…

Uncloneable Decryptors from Quantum Copy-Protection

Or Sattath, Shai Wyborski

Uncloneable decryptors are encryption schemes (with classical plaintexts and ciphertexts) with the added functionality of deriving uncloneable quantum states, called decryptors, wh…

Revisiting the Properties of Money

Isaiah Hull, Or Sattath

The properties of money commonly referenced in the economics literature were originally identified by Jevons (1876) and Menger (1892) in the late 1800s and were intended to describ…

Noise-Tolerant Quantum Tokens for MAC

Amit Behera, Or Sattath, Uriel Shinar

Message Authentication Code or MAC, is a well-studied cryptographic primitive that is used in order to authenticate communication between two parties sharing a secret key. A Tokeni…

Quantum Technology for Economists

Isaiah Hull, Or Sattath, Eleni Diamanti +1

Research on quantum technology spans multiple disciplines: physics, computer science, engineering, and mathematics. The objective of this manuscript is to provide an accessible int…

Almost Public Quantum Coins

Amit Behera, Or Sattath

In a quantum money scheme, a bank can issue money that users cannot counterfeit. Similar to bills of paper money, most quantum money schemes assign a unique serial number to each m…

A Quantum Money Solution to the Blockchain Scalability Problem

Andrea Coladangelo, Or Sattath

We put forward the idea that classical blockchains and smart contracts are potentially useful primitives not only for classical cryptography, but for quantum cryptography as well.…

Semi-Quantum Money

Roy Radian, Or Sattath

Quantum money allows a bank to mint quantum money states that can later be verified and cannot be forged. Usually, this requires a quantum communication infrastructure to transfer…

On Quantum Advantage in Information Theoretic Single-Server PIR

Dorit Aharonov, Zvika Brakerski, Kai-Min Chung +3

In (single-server) Private Information Retrieval (PIR), a server holds a large database of size , and a client holds an index and wishes to retrieve wit…

On the insecurity of quantum Bitcoin mining

Or Sattath

Grover's algorithm confers on quantum computers a quadratic advantage over classical computers for searching in an arbitrary data set, a scenario that describes Bitcoin mining. It…

Redesigning Bitcoin's fee market

Ron Lavi, Or Sattath, Aviv Zohar

The Bitcoin payment system involves two agent types: Users that transact with the currency and pay fees and miners in charge of authorizing transactions and securing the system in…

Quantum coin hedging, and a counter measure

Maor Ganz, Or Sattath

A quantum board game is a multi-round protocol between a single quantum player against the quantum board. Molina and Watrous discovered quantum hedging. They gave an example for pe…

On preparing ground states of gapped Hamiltonians: An efficient Quantum Lovász Local Lemma

András Gilyén, Or Sattath

A frustration-free local Hamiltonian has the property that its ground state minimises the energy of all local terms simultaneously. In general, even deciding whether a Hamiltonian…

Quantum Tokens for Digital Signatures

Shalev Ben-David, Or Sattath

The fisherman caught a quantum fish. "Fisherman, please let me go", begged the fish, "and I will grant you three wishes". The fisherman agreed. The fish gave the fisherman a quantu…
