On The Simplest Quantum-Secure Block Cipher

Gorjan Alagic, Joseph Carolan, Christian Majenz +1

Pseudorandom permutations are ubiquitous in theoretical and applied cryptography. PRPs that offer security even against adversaries making quantum queries are of increasing interes…

Compressed Permutation Oracles Revisited

Joseph Carolan, Christian Majenz

The compressed permutation oracle has been used to analyze the quantum security of a number of cryptographic constructions which resisted prior techniques. However, these analyses…

Compressed Permutation Oracles

Joseph Carolan

The analysis of quantum algorithms which query random, invertible permutations has been a long-standing challenge in cryptography. Many techniques which apply to random oracles fai…

The Sponge is Quantum Indifferentiable

Gorjan Alagic, Joseph Carolan, Christian Majenz +1

The sponge is a cryptographic construction that turns a public permutation into a hash function. When instantiated with the Keccak permutation, the sponge forms the NIST SHA-3 stan…

(Quantum) Indifferentiability and Pre-Computation

Joseph Carolan, Alexander Poremba, Mark Zhandry

Indifferentiability is a popular cryptographic paradigm for analyzing the security of ideal objects -- both in a classical as well as in a quantum world. It is typically stated in…

Quantum advantage and lower bounds in parallel query complexity

Joseph Carolan, Amin Shiraz Gilani, Mahathi Vempati

It is well known that quantum, randomized and deterministic (sequential) query complexities are polynomially related for total boolean functions. We find that significantly larger…

Quantum One-Wayness of the Single-Round Sponge with Invertible Permutations

Joseph Carolan, Alexander Poremba

Sponge hashing is a widely used class of cryptographic hash algorithms which underlies the current international hash function standard SHA-3. In a nutshell, a sponge function take…
