Title:
On the Efficiency of Generic, Quantum Cryptographic Constructions

Authors: Keita Xagawa

Abstract:

One of the central questions in cryptology is how efficient generic constructions of cryptographic primitives can be. Gennaro, Gertner, Katz, and Trevisan [SIAM J. Compt. 2005] studied the lower bounds of the number of invocations of a (trapdoor) oneway permutation in order to construct cryptographic schemes, e.g., pseudorandom number generators, digital signatures, and public-key and symmetric-key encryption.

Recently quantum machines have been explored to construct cryptographic primitives other than quantum key distribution. This paper studies the efficiency of quantum black-box constructions of cryptographic primitives when the communications are classical. Following Gennaro et al., we give the lower bounds of the number of invocations of an underlying quantumly-computable quantum-oneway permutation (QC-qOWP) when the quantum construction of pseudorandom number generator (PRG) and symmetric-key encryption (SKE) is weakly black-box. Our results show that the quantum black-box constructions of PRG and SKE do not improve the number of invocations of an underlying QC-qOWP.
