Quantum Technologies for beyond 5G and 6G Networks: Applications, Opportunities, and Challenges

As the world prepares for the advent of 6G networks, quantum technologies are becoming critical enablers of the next generation of communication systems. This survey paper investigates the convergence of quantum technologies and 6G networks, focusing on their applications, opportunities and...

Property-Preserving Hashing for $\Ell_1$-Distance Predicates: Applications to Countering Adversarial Input Attacks

Perceptual hashing is used to detect whether an input image is similar to a reference image with a variety of security applications. Recently, they have been shown to succumb to adversarial input attacks which make small imperceptible changes to the input image yet the hashing algorithm does not...

Quantum Pseudoresources Imply Cryptography

While one-way functions OWFs serve as the minimal assumption for computational cryptography in the classical setting, in quantum cryptography, we have even weaker cryptographic assumptions such as pseudo-random states, and EFI pairs, among others. Moreover, the minimal assumption for computationa...

The Hardness of Learning Quantum Circuits and Its Cryptographic Applications

We show that concrete hardness assumptions about learning or cloning the output state of a random quantum circuit can be used as the foundation for secure quantum cryptography. In particular, under these assumptions we construct secure one-way state generators OWSGs, digital signature schemes,...

Anamorphic Cryptography with Elliptic Curve Methods

In 2022, Persianom, Phan and Yung outlined the creation of Anamorphic Cryptography. With this, we can create a public key to encrypt data, and then have two secret keys. These secret keys are used to decrypt the cipher into different messages. So, one secret key is given to the Dictator who must ...

Complexity of Post-Quantum Cryptography in Embedded Systems and Its Optimization Strategies

With the rapid advancements in quantum computing, traditional cryptographic schemes like Rivest-Shamir-Adleman RSA and elliptic curve cryptography ECC are becoming vulnerable, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant algorithms. The National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST ha...

Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Signatures without Trapdoors

Some of our current public key methods use a trap door to implement digital signature methods. This includes the RSA method, which uses Fermat's little theorem to support the creation and verification of a digital signature. The problem with a back-door is that the actual trap-door method could, ...
