Secret-Key Reconciliation by Public Discussion

- Computer ScienceInternational Conference on the Theory and…
- 2 January 1994
A more efficient protocol is presented, which leaks an amount of information acceptably close to the minimum possible for sufficiently reliable secret channels (those with probability of any symbol being transmitted incorrectly as large as 15%).

An apparatus and protocol designed to implement quantum key distribution is described, by which two users exchange a random quantum transmission, consisting of very faint flashes of polarized light, which remains secure against an adversary with unlimited computing power.
The SECOQC quantum key distribution network in Vienna

- Computer ScienceEuropean Conference on Optical Communication
- 22 March 2009
The paper presents the architecture and functionality of the principal networking agent—the SECOQC node module, which enables the authentic classical communication required for key distillation, manages the generated key material, determines a communication path between any destinations in the network, and realizes end-to-end secure transport of key material between these destinations.
On the (Im)possibility of Basing Oblivious Transfer and Bit Commitment on Weakened Security Assumptions

- 7 June 1998
A precise characterization for when one can base OT on WOT is given, and a similar threshold phenomenon for bit commitment is shown, which shows that no information-theoretic reductions from OT (even against passive adversaries) and BC exist.
Secure Two-Party Quantum Evaluation of Unitaries against Specious Adversaries

We describe how any two-party quantum computation, specified by a unitary which simultaneously acts on the registers of both parties, can be privately implemented against a quantum version of…

We propose an information-theoretically secure encryption scheme for classical messages with quantum ciphertexts that offers detection of eavesdropping attacks, and re-usability of the key in case no…
Actively Secure Two-Party Evaluation of Any Quantum Operation

- Mathematics, Computer ScienceAnnual International Cryptology Conference
- 19 August 2012
The first two-party protocol allowing Alice and Bob to evaluate privately even against active adversaries any completely positive, trace-preserving map is provided, constructed from the protocol for the same task secure against specious adversaries present.
Cryptography in the bounded quantum-storage model

- 11 July 2005
It is shown that oblivious transfer and bit commitment can be implemented in this model using protocols where honest parties need no quantum memory, whereas an adversarial player needs quantum memory of size at least n/2 in order to break the protocol, where n is the number of qubits transmitted.
Solving the maximum clique problem using a tabu search approach
- M. Gendreau, P. Soriano, L. Salvail

- 1 May 1993
Two variants of a tabu search heuristic are described, a deterministic one and a probabilistic one, for the maximum clique problem, which produces graphs with larger clique sizes than comparable ones obtained by classical random graph generating techniques.
Perfectly Concealing Quantum Bit Commitment from any Quantum One-Way Permutation
- P. Dumais, D. Mayers, L. Salvail
- Computer ScienceInternational Conference on the Theory and…
- 14 May 2000
We show that although unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment is impossible, it can be based upon any family of quantum one-way permutations. The resulting scheme is unconditionally concealing…
