Quantum Relational Hoare Logic with Expectations
We present a variant of the quantum relational Hoare logic from (Unruh, POPL 2019) that allows us to use "expectations" in pre- and postconditions. That is, when reasoning about pairs of programs, our logic allows us to quantitatively reason about how much certain pre-/postconditions are satisfied that refer to the relationship between the programs inputs/outputs
Post-Quantum Verification of Fujisaki-Okamoto
We present a computer-verified formalization of the post-quantum
security proof of the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform (as analyzed by
Hövelmanns, Kiltz, Schäge, and Unruh, PKC 2020). The formalization is
done in quantum relational Hoare logic and checked in the qrhl-tool
(Unruh, POPL 2019)
Local Reasoning about Probabilistic Behaviour for Classical-Quantum Programs
Verifying the functional correctness of programs with both classical and
quantum constructs is a challenging task. The presence of probabilistic
behaviour entailed by quantum measurements and unbounded while loops complicate
the verification task greatly. We propose a new quantum Hoare logic for local
reasoning about probabilistic behaviour by introducing distribution formulas to
specify probabilistic properties. We show that the proof rules in the logic are
sound with respect to a denotational semantics. To demonstrate the
effectiveness of the logic, we formally verify the correctness of non-trivial
quantum algorithms including the HHL and Shor's algorithms.Comment: 27 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2107.0080
Quantum Lazy Sampling and Game-Playing Proofs for Quantum Indifferentiability
Game-playing proofs constitute a powerful framework for non-quantum
cryptographic security arguments, most notably applied in the context of
indifferentiability. An essential ingredient in such proofs is lazy sampling of
random primitives. We develop a quantum game-playing proof framework by
generalizing two recently developed proof techniques. First, we describe how
Zhandry's compressed quantum oracles~(Crypto'19) can be used to do quantum lazy
sampling of a class of non-uniform function distributions. Second, we observe
how Unruh's one-way-to-hiding lemma~(Eurocrypt'14) can also be applied to
compressed oracles, providing a quantum counterpart to the fundamental lemma of
game-playing. Subsequently, we use our game-playing framework to prove quantum
indifferentiability of the sponge construction, assuming a random internal
function
