The rise of quantum computing threatens to break many of the cryptographic systems that secure today’s digital world. In response, researchers are developing new tools designed to remain secure in a post-quantum future. Most of the promising candidates for post-quantum digital signatures rely on security assumptions based on lattices or properties of hash functions. Another promising approach transforms secure multi-party computation protocols into zero-knowledge proofs, which are then turned into digital signatures. This technique, known as multi-party computation in-the-head (MPCitH), offers strong security properties and flexibility for distributed applications. This thesis investigates whether MPCitH digital signatures can be efficiently adapted for use by two cooperating parties to jointly produce a signature. Here we show how to construct two-party signatures based on syndrome decoding in-the-head (SDitH) signatures. We propose a provably secure scheme that achieves the smallest known communication overhead among two-party MPCitH signatures, while resulting in a signature size approximately double that of a single-prover variant. This result provides a new data point in the design space of multi-party MPCitH signatures and post-quantum digital signatures in general.

An efficient and secure multi-party convex hull protocol using quantum secret commitment

Wen-Jie Liu, Solomon Danquah Danso

Convex hull computation is a fundamental problem in secure multi-party computational geometry (SMCG), classified under secure multi-party computation (SMC) for finding the convex hull of a set of points. Existing quantum solutions largely depend on quantum homomorphic encryption (QHE), which introduces significant computational overhead due to frequent key updates by a trusted third party (TTP). Furthermore, most current protocols lack a mechanism for input commitment, making them vulnerable to post-computation input tampering or denial by the TTP. To overcome these limitations, we propose an efficient convex hull protocol that utilizes quantum secret commitment (QSC) as a more secure alternative to QHE. Our protocol enables a designated party (the committer) to securely commit to input values in a manner that guarantees both binding (no post-hoc alteration) and hiding (input secrecy). We introduce a novel value comparison protocol within an Ideal Quantum K-Party model, ensuring privacy-preserving convex hull computation without reliance on QHE. Rigorous security analysis demonstrates significant improvements in computational efficiency and resilience against quantum adversaries. Our protocol represents a pivotal advancement for quantum-secure multi-party computations and lays the groundwork for scalable, future-proof privacy-preserving geometry in quantum computing contexts.

Post-Quantum Multi-Party Computation

Agarwal, Amit, James Bartusek, Vipul Goyal +2 more

We initiate the study of multi-party computation for classical functionalities (in the plain model) with security against malicious polynomial-time quantum adversaries. We observe that existing techniques readily give a polynomial-round protocol, but our main result is a construction of *constant-round* post-quantum multi-party computation. We assume mildly super-polynomial quantum hardness of learning with errors (LWE), and polynomial quantum hardness of an LWE-based circular security assumption. Along the way, we develop the following cryptographic primitives that may be of independent interest: 1. A spooky encryption scheme for relations computable by quantum circuits, from the quantum hardness of an LWE-based circular security assumption. This yields the first quantum multi-key fully-homomorphic encryption scheme with classical keys. 2. Constant-round zero-knowledge secure against multiple parallel quantum verifiers from spooky encryption for relations computable by quantum circuits. To enable this, we develop a new straight-line non-black-box simulation technique against *parallel* verifiers that does not clone the adversary's state. This forms the heart of our technical contribution and may also be relevant to the classical setting. 3. A constant-round post-quantum non-malleable commitment scheme, from the mildly super-polynomial quantum hardness of LWE.
