MicroCrypt Assumptions with Quantum Input Sampling and Pseudodeterminism: Constructions and Separations

Mohammed Barhoush, Ryo Nishimaki, Takashi Yamakawa

We investigate two natural relaxations of quantum cryptographic primitives. The first involves quantum input sampling, where inputs are generated by a quantum algorithm rather than…

Untelegraphable Encryption and its Applications

Jeffrey Champion, Fuyuki Kitagawa, Ryo Nishimaki +1

We initiate the study of untelegraphable encryption (UTE), founded on the no-telegraphing principle, which allows an encryptor to encrypt a message such that a binary string repres…

Robust Combiners and Universal Constructions for Quantum Cryptography

Taiga Hiroka, Fuyuki Kitagawa, Ryo Nishimaki +1

A robust combiner combines many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive. Its correctness and security hold as long as one of t…

Unconditionally Secure Commitments with Quantum Auxiliary Inputs

Tomoyuki Morimae, Barak Nehoran, Takashi Yamakawa

We show the following unconditional results on quantum commitments in two related yet different models: 1. We revisit the notion of quantum auxiliary-input commitments introduced b…

Quantum Complexity for Discrete Logarithms and Related Problems

Minki Hhan, Takashi Yamakawa, Aaram Yun

This paper studies the quantum computational complexity of the discrete logarithm (DL) and related group-theoretic problems in the context of generic algorithms -- that is, algorit…

Quantum Public-Key Encryption with Tamper-Resilient Public Keys from One-Way Functions

Fuyuki Kitagawa, Tomoyuki Morimae, Ryo Nishimaki +1

We construct quantum public-key encryption from one-way functions. In our construction, public keys are quantum, but ciphertexts are classical. Quantum public-key encryption from o…

Classical vs Quantum Advice and Proofs under Classically-Accessible Oracle

Xingjian Li, Qipeng Liu, Angelos Pelecanos +1

It is a long-standing open question to construct a classical oracle relative to which BQP/qpoly BQP/poly or QMA QCMA. In this paper, we construct classically-accessib…

Public Key Encryption with Secure Key Leasing

Shweta Agrawal, Fuyuki Kitagawa, Ryo Nishimaki +2

We introduce the notion of public key encryption with secure key leasing (PKE-SKL). Our notion supports the leasing of decryption keys so that a leased key achieves the decryption…

Obfuscation of Pseudo-Deterministic Quantum Circuits

James Bartusek, Fuyuki Kitagawa, Ryo Nishimaki +1

We show how to obfuscate pseudo-deterministic quantum circuits in the classical oracle model, assuming the quantum hardness of learning with errors. Given the classical description…

Certified Everlasting Secure Collusion-Resistant Functional Encryption, and More

Taiga Hiroka, Fuyuki Kitagawa, Tomoyuki Morimae +3

We study certified everlasting secure functional encryption (FE) and many other cryptographic primitives in this work. Certified everlasting security roughly means the following. A…

Quantum Advantage from One-Way Functions

Tomoyuki Morimae, Takashi Yamakawa

We demonstrate quantum advantage with several basic assumptions, specifically based on only the existence of OWFs. We introduce inefficient-verifier proofs of quantumness (IV-PoQ),…

From the Hardness of Detecting Superpositions to Cryptography: Quantum Public Key Encryption and Commitments

Minki Hhan, Tomoyuki Morimae, Takashi Yamakawa

Recently, Aaronson et al. (arXiv:2009.07450) showed that detecting interference between two orthogonal states is as hard as swapping these states. While their original motivation w…

One-Wayness in Quantum Cryptography

Tomoyuki Morimae, Takashi Yamakawa

The existence of one-way functions is one of the most fundamental assumptions in classical cryptography. In the quantum world, on the other hand, there are evidences that some cryp…

Proofs of Quantumness from Trapdoor Permutations

Tomoyuki Morimae, Takashi Yamakawa

Assume that Alice can do only classical probabilistic polynomial-time computing while Bob can do quantum polynomial-time computing. Alice and Bob communicate over only classical ch…

Certified Everlasting Functional Encryption

Taiga Hiroka, Tomoyuki Morimae, Ryo Nishimaki +1

Computational security in cryptography has a risk that computational assumptions underlying the security are broken in the future. One solution is to construct information-theoreti…

Verifiable Quantum Advantage without Structure

Takashi Yamakawa, Mark Zhandry

We show the following hold, unconditionally unless otherwise stated, relative to a random oracle: - There are NP search problems solvable by quantum polynomial-time machines but no…

Quantum commitments and signatures without one-way functions

Tomoyuki Morimae, Takashi Yamakawa

In the classical world, the existence of commitments is equivalent to the existence of one-way functions. In the quantum setting, on the other hand, commitments are not known to im…
