• Abstract: Oblivious transfer is a fundamental cryptographic primitive which is useful for secure multiparty computation. There are several variants of oblivious transfer. We consider 1 out of 2 oblivious transfer, where a sender sends two bits of information to a receiver. The receiver only receives one of the two bits, while the sender does not know which bit the receiver has received. Perfect quantum oblivious transfer with information theoretic security is known to be impossible. We aim to find the lowest possible cheating probabilities. Bounds on cheating probabilities have been investigated for complete protocols, where if both parties follow the protocol, the bit value obtained by the receiver matches the sender bit value. We instead investigate incomplete protocols, where the receiver obtains an incorrect bit value with probability pf. We present optimal non interactive protocols where Alice bit values are encoded in four symmetric pure quantum states, and where she cannot cheat better than with a random guess. We find the protocols such that for a given pf, Bob cheating probability pr is as low as possible, and vice versa. Furthermore, we show that non-interactive quantum protocols can outperform non-interactive classical protocols, and give a lower bound on Bob cheating probability in interactive quantum protocols. Importantly for optical implementations, our protocols do not require entanglement nor quantum memory.

• Quantum Rabin oblivious transfer using two pure states [0.0]
  In oblivious transfer, the sender Alice holds a bit, and the receiver Bob either obtains the bit, or obtains no information with probability $p_?$. We examine a quantum Rabin oblivious transfer protocol that uses two pure states. Investigating different cheating scenarios for the sender and for the receiver, we determine optimal cheating probabilities in each case.

• Quantum cryptography with classical communication: parallel remote state preparation for copy-protection, verification, and more [125.99533416395765]
  Many cryptographic primitives are two-party protocols, where one party, Bob, has full quantum computational capabilities, and the other party, Alice, is only required to send random BB84 states to Bob. We show how such protocols can generically be converted to ones where Alice is fully classical, assuming that Bob cannot efficiently solve the LWE problem. This means that all communication between (classical) Alice and (quantum) Bob is classical, yet they can still make use of cryptographic primitives that would be impossible if both parties were classical.

  We consider the setting where the two parties (a classical Alice and a quantum Bob) can communicate only via a classical channel. We show that it is in general impossible to realize a two-party quantum functionality with black-box simulation in the case of malicious quantum adversaries. We provide a compiler that takes as input a classical proof of quantum knowledge (PoQK) protocol for a QMA relation R and outputs a zero-knowledge PoQK for R that can be verified by classical parties.
