Several recently proposed code-based cryptosystems base their security on a slightly generalized version of the classical (syndrome) decoding problem. Namely, in the so-called restricted (syndrome) decoding problem, the error values stem…
One Achilles heal of classical cryptographic communication systems is that secret communication can only take place after a key is communicated in secret over a totally secure communication channel. Here comes quantum key distribution which…
Many common document formats on the Internet are text-only such as email (MIME) and the Web (HTML, JavaScript, JSON and XML). To include images or executable code in these documents, we first encode them as text using base64. Standard…
This paper investigates compression of data encrypted with block ciphers, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). It is shown that such data can be feasibly compressed without knowledge of the secret key. Block ciphers operating in…
Data encryption limits the power and efficiency of queries. Direct processing of encrypted data should ideally be possible to avoid the need for data decryption, processing, and re-encryption. It is vital to keep the data searchable and…
A database is a prime target for cyber-attacks as it contains confidential, sensitive, or protected information. With the increasing sophistication of the internet and dependencies on internet data transmission, it has become vital to be…
In modern cryptography, block encryption is a fundamental cryptographic primitive. However, it is impossible for block encryption to achieve the same security as one-time pad. Quantum mechanics has changed the modern cryptography, and lots…

Given a ciphertext, is it possible to prove the deletion of the underlying plaintext? Since classical ciphertexts can be copied, clearly such a feat is impossible using classical information alone. In stark contrast to this, we show that…
