Given positive integers $a_1,..., a_n, t$, the fixed weight subset sum problem is to find a subset of the $a_i$ that sum to $t$, where the subset has a prescribed number of elements. It is this problem that underlies the security of modern…
Our main result is a quantum public-key encryption scheme based on the Extrapolated Dihedral Coset problem (EDCP) which is equivalent, under quantum polynomial-time reductions, to the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem. For limited number…
We introduce the notion of an $n$-threshold secret petition, in which users add encrypted signatures to a petition, and the signatures are decrypted if and only if at least $n$ signatures have been gathered. This solves the coordination…
A hybrid encryption (HE) system is an efficient public key encryption system for arbitrarily long messages. An HE system consists of a public key component called key encapsulation mechanism (KEM), and a symmetric key component called data…
The Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) is widely regarded as a practical method and has been adopted by multiple standards. However, the advancement of quantum computing technologies poses potential security risks to ECIES.…
Recently, a few chosen-ciphertext secure (CCA2-secure) variants of the McEliece public-key encryption (PKE) scheme in the standard model were introduced. All the proposed schemes are based on encryption repetition paradigm and use general…
In this paper, we will present a new key exchange cryptosystem based on linear algebra, which take less operations but weaker in security than Diffie-Hellman's one.
We propose a bit-oriented quantum public-key scheme which uses Boolean function as private-key and randomly changed pairs of quantum state and classical string as public-keys. Contrast to the typical classical public-key scheme, one…
A concept named induced trapdoor one-way quantum transformation (OWQT) has been introduced, and a theoretical framework of public-key encryption (PKE) of quantum message is presented based on it. Then several kinds of quantum public-key…
The current blockchain system for cryptocurrency exchanges primarily employs elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for generating key pairs in wallets, and elliptic curve digital signature algorithms (ECDSA) for generating signatures in…
In this note, an LWE problem with a hidden trapdoor is introduced. It is used to construct an efficient public-key crypto-system EHT. The new system is significantly different from LWE based NIST candidates like FrodoKEM. The performance of…
S. S. Magliveras et al. have described symmetric and public key cryptosystems based on logarithmic signatures (also known as group bases) for finite permutation groups. In this paper we show that if $G$ is a nontrivial finite group which is…
A Post-Quantum Key Exchange is needed since the availability of quantum computers that allegedly allow breaking classical algorithms like Diffie-Hellman, El Gamal, RSA and others within a practical amount of time is broadly assumed in…
We suggest the usage of algebraic subsets instead of subgroups in public-key cryptography. In particular, we present the subset version of two protocols introduced by Shpilrain and Ushakov with some examples in ascending HNN-extensions of…
Oblivious data processing has been an on and off topic for the last decade or so. It provides great opportunities for secure data management and processing, especially in the cloud. At the same time, modern computing resources seem to be…
Following a key idea of unconventional geometric quantum computation developed earlier [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 197902 (2003)], here we propose a more general scheme in such an intriguing way: $\gamma_{d}=\alpha_{g}+\eta \gamma _{g}$, where…
Recent years have shown that more than ever governments and intelligence agencies try to control and bypass the cryptographic means used for the protection of data. Backdooring encryption algorithms is considered as the best way to enforce…
The Chrysalis project is a proposed method for post-quantum cryptography using the Riemann sphere. To this end, Riemann primitives are introduced in addition to a novel implementation of this new method. Chrysalis itself is the first…
We provide a survey on the Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP), which plays an important role in studying the security of public-key cryptosystems. We first review the abelian case, where Kitaev's algorithm yields an efficient quantum solution to…
As applications of biometric verification proliferate, users become more vulnerable to privacy infringement. Biometric data is very privacy sensitive as it may contain information as gender, ethnicity and health conditions which should not…
