Solving the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices Faster Using Quantum Search
By applying Grover's quantum search algorithm to the lattice algorithms of
Micciancio and Voulgaris, Nguyen and Vidick, Wang et al., and Pujol and
Stehl\'{e}, we obtain improved asymptotic quantum results for solving the
shortest vector problem. With quantum computers we can provably find a shortest
vector in time , improving upon the classical time
complexity of of Pujol and Stehl\'{e} and the of Micciancio and Voulgaris, while heuristically we expect to find a
shortest vector in time , improving upon the classical time
complexity of of Wang et al. These quantum complexities
will be an important guide for the selection of parameters for post-quantum
cryptosystems based on the hardness of the shortest vector problem.Comment: 19 page
Provably Secure Experimental Quantum Bit-String Generation
Coin tossing is a cryptographic task in which two parties who do not trust
each other aim to generate a common random bit. Using classical communication
this is impossible, but non trivial coin tossing is possible using quantum
communication. Here we consider the case when the parties do not want to toss a
single coin, but many. This is called bit string generation. We report the
experimental generation of strings of coins which are provably more random than
achievable using classical communication. The experiment is based on the ``plug
and play'' scheme developed for quantum cryptography, and therefore well suited
for long distance quantum communication.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. A complete security
analysis for the experiment is given in quant-ph/040812
SHREC'16: partial matching of deformable shapes
Matching deformable 3D shapes under partiality transformations is a challenging problem that has received limited focus in the computer vision and graphics communities. With this benchmark, we explore and thoroughly investigate the robustness of existing matching methods in this challenging task. Participants are asked to provide a point-to-point correspondence (either sparse or dense) between deformable shapes undergoing different kinds of partiality transformations, resulting in a total of 400 matching problems to be solved for each method - making this benchmark the biggest and most challenging of its kind. Five matching algorithms were evaluated in the contest; this paper presents the details of the dataset, the adopted evaluation measures, and shows thorough comparisons among all competing methods
Ring Learning With Errors: A crossroads between postquantum cryptography, machine learning and number theory
The present survey reports on the state of the art of the different
cryptographic functionalities built upon the ring learning with errors problem
and its interplay with several classical problems in algebraic number theory.
The survey is based to a certain extent on an invited course given by the
author at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics in September 2018.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1508.01375 by other
authors/ comment of the author: quotation has been added to Theorem 5.
