• Abstract: As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic security measures, including token obfuscation, are increasingly vulnerable to quantum attacks. This paper introduces a quantum-enhanced approach to token obfuscation leveraging quantum superposition and multi-basis verification to establish a robust defense against these threats. In our method, tokens are encoded in superposition states, making them simultaneously exist in multiple states until measured, thus enhancing obfuscation complexity. Multi-basis verification further secures these tokens by enforcing validation across multiple quantum bases, thwarting unauthorized access. Additionally, we incorporate a quantum decay protocol and a refresh mechanism to manage the token life-cycle securely. Our experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in token security and robustness, validating this approach as a promising solution for quantum-secure cryptographic applications. This work not only highlights the feasibility of quantum-based token obfuscation but also lays the foundation for future quantum-safe security architectures.

  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  We build on the no-cloning principle of quantum mechanics and design cryptographic schemes with key-revocation capabilities. We consider schemes where secret keys are represented as quantum states with the guarantee that, once the secret key is successfully revoked from a user, they no longer have the ability to perform the same functionality as before.
