In this Paper, we investigate the security of Zhang, Li and Guo quantum key distribution via quantum encryption protocol [$\text{Phys. Rev. A} \textbf{64}, 24302 (2001)$] and show that it is not secure against some of Eve's attacks and with…
We discuss the use of elliptic curves in cryptography on high-dimensional surfaces. In particular, instead of a Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol written in the form of a bi-dimensional row, where the elements are made up with 256 bits,…
We derive a proof of security for the Differential Phase Shift Quantum Key Distribution (DPSQKD) protocol under the assumption that Eve is restricted to individual attacks. The security proof is derived by bounding the average collision…

Multidimensional signals like 2-D and 3-D images or videos are inherently sensitive signals which require privacy-preserving solutions when processed in untrustworthy environments, but their efficient encrypted processing is particularly…
In this paper we discuss generic properties of "random subgroups" of a given group G. It turns out that in many groups G (even in most exotic of them) the random subgroups have a simple algebraic structure and they "sit" inside G in a very…

Lattice based encryption schemes and linear code based encryption schemes have received extensive attention in recent years since they have been considered as post-quantum candidate encryption schemes. Though LLL reduction algorithm has…

Linear (or differential) cryptanalysis may seem dull topics for a mathematician: they are about super simple invariants characterized by say a word on n=64 bits with very few bits at 1, the space of possible attacks is small, and basic…
Cryptanalysis is an important branch in the study of cryptography, including both the classical cryptography and the quantum one. In this paper we analyze the security of two three-party quantum key distribution protocols (QKDPs) proposed…
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…
The Feistel scheme is an important structure in the block ciphers. The security of the Feistel scheme is related to distinguishability with a random permutation. In this paper, efficient quantum algorithms for distinguishing classical…
Privacy-preserving machine learning is learning from sensitive datasets that are typically distributed across multiple data owners. Private machine learning is a remarkable challenge in a large number of realistic scenarios where no trusted…
This paper is an attempt to build a new public-key cryptosystem; similar to the McEliece cryptosystem, using permutation error-correcting codes. We study a public-key cryptosystem built using two permutation error-correcting codes. We show…
We consider the problem of recovering the entries of diagonal matrices $\{U_a\}_a$ for $a = 1,\ldots,t$ from multiple "incomplete" samples $\{W_a\}_a$ of the form $W_a=PU_aQ$, where $P$ and $Q$ are unknown matrices of low rank. We devise…
In this paper, we report the first quantum key-recovery attack on a symmetric block cipher design, using classical queries only, with a more than quadratic time speedup compared to the best classical attack. We study the 2XOR-Cascade…
The paper explores a novel cryptosystem for digital signatures based on linear equa-tions for logarithmic signatures. A logarithmic signature serves as a fundamental cryptographic primitive, characterized by properties such as nonlinearity,…
