Eavesdropper-Blind Remote State Preparation and Applications to Quantum Public-Key Encryption

Kaniuar Bacho, Alexandru Cojocaru

Remote state preparation (RSP) is a central primitive in quantum cryptography, enabling classical parties to remotely construct quantum states using only classical communication. A…

Equivalence Between Average-Case Hardness of Learning and Cryptography for Mixed Quantum States

Alexandru Cojocaru, Laura Lewis

The relationship between cryptography and learning theory has long been a central theme in the foundations of theoretical computer science: cryptographic primitives can imply hardn…

Verified Pythagorean Composition for Adaptive Cryptographic Games: Noise Flooding in Homomorphic Encryption

Yi Lee, Alexandru Cojocaru, Junyi Liu +1

Noise flooding is a standard defense against decryption attacks on approximate homomorphic encryption, but its security proof is unusually sensitive to composition. Replacing each…

NISQ Security and Complexity via Simple Classical Reasoning

Alexandru Cojocaru, Juan Garay, Qipeng Liu +1

We give novel lifting theorems for security games in the quantum random oracle model (QROM) in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) settings such as the hybrid query model, the…

Improved Quantum Lifting by Coherent Measure-and-Reprogram

Alexandru Cojocaru, Juan Garay, Qipeng Liu +1

We give a tighter lifting theorem for security games in the quantum random oracle model. At the core of our main result lies a novel measure-and-reprogram framework that we call co…

Quantum Lifting for Invertible Permutations and Ideal Ciphers

Alexandru Cojocaru, Minki Hhan, Qipeng Liu +2

In this work, we derive the first lifting theorems for establishing security in the quantum random permutation and ideal cipher models. These theorems relate the success probabilit…
