Position-Based Quantum Cryptography
In this work, we initiate the study of position-based cryptography in the quantum setting. The aim is to use the geographical position of a party as its only credential. This has interesting applications, e.g., it enables two military bases to communicate over insecure channels and without having any pre-shared key, with the guarantee that only parties within the bases learn the content of the ...
متن کاملPosition-Based Quantum Cryptography: Impossibility and Constructions
In this work, we study position-based cryptography in the quantum setting. The aim is to use the geographical position of a party as its only credential. On the negative side, we show that if adversaries are allowed to share an arbitrarily large entangled quantum state, the task of secure position-verification is impossible. To this end, we prove the following very general result. Assume that A...
متن کاملInsecurity of position-based quantum cryptography protocols against entanglement attacks
Recently, position-based quantum cryptography has been claimed to be unconditionally secure. On the contrary, here we show that the existing proposals for position-based quantum cryptography are, in fact, insecure if entanglement is shared among two adversaries. Specifically, we demonstrate how the adversaries can incorporate ideas of quantum teleportation and quantum secret sharing to compromi...
متن کاملUnconditionally secure commitment in position-based quantum cryptography
A new commitment scheme based on position-verification and non-local quantum correlations is presented here for the first time in literature. The only credential for unconditional security is the position of committer and non-local correlations generated; neither receiver has any pre-shared data with the committer nor does receiver require trusted and authenticated quantum/classical channels be...
متن کاملPosition Based Cryptography
We consider what constitutes identities in cryptography. Typical examples include your name and your social-security number, or your fingerprint/iris-scan, or your address, or your (non-revoked) publickey coming from some trusted public-key infrastructure. In many situations, however, where you are defines your identity. For example, we know the role of a bank-teller behind a bullet-proof bank ...
