On the Impossibility of Simulation Security for Quantum Functional Encryption

Functional encryption is a powerful cryptographic primitive that enables fine-grained access to encrypted data and underlies numerous applications. Although the ideal security notion for FE simulation security has been shown to be impossible in the classical setting, those impossibility results...

Black-Box Crypto Is Useless for Pseudorandom Codes

A pseudorandom code is a keyed error-correction scheme with the property that any polynomial number of encodings appear random to any computationally bounded adversary. We show that the pseudorandomness of any code tolerating a constant rate of random errors cannot be based on black-box reduction...
