The Impossibility Of Secure Two-Party Classical Computation

Quantum Physics 2011-11-10 v2 Cryptography and Security

Abstract

We present attacks that show that unconditionally secure two-party classical computation is impossible for many classes of function. Our analysis applies to both quantum and relativistic protocols. We illustrate our results by showing the impossibility of oblivious transfer.
