We show how to construct pseudorandom permutations (PRPs) that remain secure even if the adversary can query the permutation, both in the forward and reverse directions, on a quantum superposition of inputs. Such quantum-secure PRPs have…
We consider the task of constructing pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) with scalable security, i.e. families in which the security parameter may vary independently of the dimension (or input bit-length). It is not known whether scalable PRUs…
