Homomorphic encryption has largely been studied in context of public key cryptosystems. But there are applications which inherently would require symmetric keys. We propose a symmetric key encryption scheme with fully homomorphic evaluation…

We propose the new technique of physical-layer cryptography based on using a massive MIMO channel as a key between the sender and desired receiver, which need not be secret. The goal is for low-complexity encoding and decoding by the…

Bogdanov and Lee suggested a homomorphic public-key encryption scheme based on error correcting codes. The underlying public code is a modified Reed-Solomon code obtained from inserting a zero submatrix in the Vandermonde generating matrix…

Classical linear ciphers, such as the Hill cipher, operate on fixed, finite-dimensional modules and are therefore vulnerable to straightforward known-plaintext attacks that recover the key as a fully determined linear operator. We propose a…

This work considers the problem of distributing matrix multiplication over the real or complex numbers to helper servers, such that the information leakage to these servers is close to being information-theoretically secure. These servers…

Given a database of bit strings $A_1,\ldots,A_m\in \{0,1\}^n$, a fundamental data structure task is to estimate the distances between a given query $B\in \{0,1\}^n$ with all the strings in the database. In addition, one might further want…

In this work, we introduce a new technique for taking a single-secret sharing scheme with a general access structure and transforming it into an individually secure multi-secret sharing scheme where every secret has the same general access…

A process for the secure transmission of data is presented that has to a certain degree the advantages of the one-time pad (OTP) cipher, that is, simplicity, speed, and information-theoretically security, but overcomes its fundamental…

This paper is concerned with several security notions for information theoretically secure encryptions defined by the variational (statistical) distance. To ensure the perfect secrecy (PS), the mutual information is often used to evaluate…

Two variations of the McEliece cryptosystem are presented. The first one is based on a relaxation of the column permutation in the classical McEliece scrambling process. This is done in such a way that the Hamming weight of the error, added…

Symbol-pair codes are block codes with symbol-pair metrics designed to protect against pair-errors that may occur in high-density data storage systems. MDS symbol-pair codes are optimal in the sense that it can attain the highest pair-error…

The secure transfer of information is critical for the ever-increasing demands of the digital world. Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) is a technology that can potentially provide information-theoretic security to…

We introduce an explicit construction for a key distribution protocol in the Quantum Computational Timelock (QCT) security model, where one assumes that computationally secure encryption may only be broken after a time much longer than the…
