Quantum proofs of knowledge

Talk at "Quantum Games and Protocols" (Simons Institute, Berkeley), February 2014.

Abstract

When (re)analysing the security of classical cryptographic protocols in a quantum setting, one finds that many classical proof techniques break down. Proofs of knowledge are a typical example of this: Their proofs usually involve rewinding, which is challenging in the quantum setting due to the no-cloning theorem. We present known solutions for proving the quantum security of proofs of knowledge, with a particular focus on what is not solved.
