Error-tolerant oblivious transfer in the noisy-storage model

Cosmo Lupo, James T. Peat, Erika Andersson +1 more

The noisy-storage model of quantum cryptography allows for information-theoretically secure two-party computation based on the assumption that a cheating user has at most access to an imperfect, noisy quantum memory, whereas the honest users do not need a quantum memory at all. In general, the more noisy the quantum memory of the cheating user, the more secure the implementation of oblivious transfer, which is a primitive that allows universal secure two-party and multiparty computation. For experimental implementations of oblivious transfer, one has to consider that also the devices held by the honest users are lossy and noisy, and error correction needs to be applied to correct these trusted errors. The latter are expected to reduce the security of the protocol, since a cheating user may hide themselves in the trusted noise. Here we leverage entropic uncertainty relations to derive tight bounds on the security of oblivious transfer with a trusted and untrusted noise. In particular, we discuss noisy storage and bounded storage, with independent and correlated noise.

Position-Based Cryptography and Multiparty Communication Complexity.

Joshua Brody, Stefan Dziembowski, Sebastian Faust +1 more

Position based cryptography (PBC), proposed in the seminal work of Chandran, Goyal, Moriarty, and Ostrovsky (SIAM J. Computing, 2014), aims at constructing cryptographic schemes in which the identity of the user is his geographic position. Chandran et al. construct PBC schemes for secure positioning and position-based key agreement in the bounded-storage model (Maurer, J. Cryptology, 1992). Apart from bounded memory, their security proofs need a strong additional restriction on the power of the adversary: he cannot compute joint functions of his inputs. Removing this assumption is left as an open problem.

Position-Based Cryptography

Nishanth Chandran, Vipul Goyal, Ryan Moriarty +1 more

In this paper, we initiate the theoretical study of cryptographic protocols where the identity, or other credentials and inputs, of a party are derived from its geographic location. We start by considering the central task in this setting, i.e., securely verifying the position of a device. Despite much work in this area, we show that in the vanilla (or standard) model, the above task (i.e., of secure positioning) is impossible to achieve, even if we assume that the adversary is computationally bounded. In light of the above impossibility result, we then turn to Dziembowski's bounded retrieval model (a variant of Maurer's bounded storage model) and formalize and construct information theoretically secure protocols for two fundamental tasks: secure positioning and position-based key exchange. We then show that these tasks are in fact universal in this setting---we show how we can use them to realize secure multiparty computation. Our main contribution in this paper is threefold: to place the problem of secure positioning on a sound theoretical footing; to prove a strong impossibility result that simultaneously shows the insecurity of previous attempts at the problem; and to present positive results showing that the bounded-retrieval framework is a fruitful one to study the foundations of position-based cryptography.
