Quantum Cryptomania with Classical Communication without One-Way Functions

Mohammed Barhoush, Amit Behera

In classical cryptography, one-way functions are necessary for most of cryptography. In the quantum world, however, Kretschmer at {TQC'21} and subsequent works have demonstrated th…

Separating Quantum Indistinguishability Obfuscation from Falsifiable Assumptions

Mohammed Barhoush, Tomoyuki Morimae, Ramis Movassagh

Quantum indistinguishability obfuscation (qIO) aims to make a quantum circuit unintelligible while preserving its functionality. It serves as a foundational primitive for advanced…

Separating Non-Interactive Classical Verification of Quantum Computation from Falsifiable Assumptions

Mohammed Barhoush, Tomoyuki Morimae, Ryo Nishimaki +1

Mahadev [SIAM J. Comput. 2022] introduced the first protocol for classical verification of quantum computation based on the Learning-with-Errors (LWE) assumption, achieving a 4-mes…

On the Feasibility of Simulation-Secure Quantum Functional Encryption

Mohammed Barhoush, Arthur Mehta, Anne Müller +1

Functional encryption is a powerful cryptographic primitive that enables fine-grained access to encrypted data and underlies numerous applications. Although the ideal security noti…

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…

Quantum Cheques

Mohammed Barhoush, Louis Salvail

Publicly-verifiable quantum money has been a central and challenging goal in quantum cryptography. To this day, no constructions exist based on standard assumptions. In this study,…

How to Sign Quantum Messages

Mohammed Barhoush, Louis Salvail

Signing quantum messages has long been considered impossible even under computational assumptions. In this work, we challenge this notion and provide three innovative approaches to…

Powerful Primitives in the Bounded Quantum Storage Model

Mohammed Barhoush, Louis Salvail

The bounded quantum storage model aims to achieve security against computationally unbounded adversaries that are restricted only with respect to their quantum memories. In this wo…

Homotopy and Homology at Infinity and at the Boundary

Mohammed Barhoush

In this paper we study the relationship between the homology and homotopy of a space at infinity and at its boundary. Firstly, we prove that if a locally connected, connected, -…

On the Number of Representations for Simple Lie Groups

Mohammed Barhoush

The growth rate function counts the number of irreducible representations of simple complex Lie groups of dimension . While no explicit formula is known for this function,…
