- Abstract: In this note, we consider the setting of uncloneable encryption satisfying uncloneable indistinguishability, a form of symmetric key encryption that prevents the cloning of ciphertexts in a very strong sense. Our goal is to minimize the assumptions under which (many-time secure) uncloneable encryption is known to exist, assuming the existence of an information-theoretic "uncloneable bit", i.e. a one-time secure uncloneable encryption scheme for one-bit messages. We observe that if a t -> t' uncloneable bit exists, then the following implications hold. 1. If many-time secure symmetric key encryption exists, then many-time secure t -> t' uncloneable encryption for arbitrary-length messages exists. Since many-time secure uncloneable encryption implies many-time secure symmetric key encryption, this result is tight. 2. If pseudorandom unitaries exist, then many-time secure t -> t' uncloneable encryption for arbitrary-length messages with identical copy security exists. These results together show that many-time secure uncloneable encryption may follow from concrete assumptions in "microcrypt", the world of unstructured quantum cryptography that plausibly exists even if P = NP.
