A simpler security proof for 6-state quantum key distribution
Kaan Akyuz, Boris Skoric
Six-state Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) achieves the highest key rate in the class of qubit-based QKD schemes. The standard security proof, which has been developed since 2005, in…
Entropically secure encryption with faster key expansion
Mehmet Huseyin Temel, Boris Skoric
Entropically secure encryption is a way to encrypt a large plaintext with a small key and still have information-theoretic security, thus in a certain sense circumventing Shannon's…
Diagrammatic security proof for 8-state encoding
Boris Skoric, Zef Wolffs
Dirac notation is the most common way to describe quantum states and operations on states. It is very convenient and allows for quick visual distinction between vectors, scalars an…
Quantum digital signatures with smaller public keys
Boris Skoric
We introduce a variant of quantum signatures in which nonbinary symbols are signed instead of bits. The public keys are fingerprinting states, just as in the scheme of Gottesman an…
Two-way Unclonable Encryption with a vulnerable sender
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
Unclonable Encryption, introduced by Gottesman in 2003, is a quantum protocol that guarantees the secrecy of a successfully transferred classical message even when all keys leak at…
Qubit-based Unclonable Encryption with Key Recycling
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
We re-visit Unclonable Encryption as introduced by Gottesman in 2003. We look at the combination of Unclonable Encryption and Key Recycling, while aiming for low communication comp…
