Quantum bit commitment from a physical assumption
[chapter]
1998
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we show that under the assumption that the sender is not able to perform generalized measurements involving more than n qubits coherently (n-coherent measurements) then quantum bit commitment ...
Mayers and independently Lo and Chau have shown that unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment is impossible. ...
In this paper we consider a physical limitation upon which the security of quantum bit commitment, and QOT [35] , can be based. ...

Impossibility of unconditionally secure commitment of a certified classical bit
2000
Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
In a secure bit commitment protocol involving only classical physics, A commits either a 0 or a 1 to B. ...
We introduce here a quantum cryptographic primitive, bit commitment with a certificate of classicality (BCCC), which differs from standard bit commitment in that it guarantees that the committed state ...

Coin Tossing is Strictly Weaker than Bit Commitment
1999
Physical Review Letters
That is, no secure classical or quantum bit commitment protocol can be built from a finite number of invocations of a secure coin tossing black box together with finitely many additional information exchanges ...
Finally we show that, under standard cryptographic assumptions, coin tossing is strictly weaker than bit commitment. ...
Under standard non-relativistic cryptographic assumptions, unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment is impossible. ...

Summoning, No-Signaling and Relativistic Bit Commitments
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Bit commitment protocols and other cryptographic protocols based on the no-summoning theorem can thus be proven secure against some classes of post-quantum but non-signalling adversaries. ...
Summoning is a task between two parties, Alice and Bob, with distributed networks of agents in space-time. Bob gives Alice a random quantum state, known to him but not her, at some point. ...

Summoning, No-Signalling and Relativistic Bit Commitments

Summoning is a task between two parties, Alice and Bob, with distributed networks of agents in space-time. Bob gives Alice a random quantum state, known to him but not her, at some point. ...
The bit commitment security thus also follows from either of these assumptions.

Simple proof of the impossibility of bit commitment in generalized probabilistic theories using cone programming
2018
Physical Review A
Bit-commitment is a fundamental cryptographic task, in which Alice commits a bit to Bob such that she cannot later change the value of the bit, while, simultaneously, the bit is hidden from Bob. ...
It is known that ideal bit-commitment is impossible within quantum theory. ...

Unconditionally Secure Bit Commitment
1999
Physical Review Letters
We describe a new classical bit commitment protocol based on cryptographic constraints imposed by special relativity. The protocol is unconditionally secure against classical or quantum attacks. ...
It evades the no-go results of Mayers, Lo and Chau by requiring from Alice a sequence of communications, including a post-revelation verification, each of which is guaranteed to be independent of its predecessor ...
Alice could also commit a random quantum bit -a state of the form a|0 + b|1rather than a fixed classical bit, and keep the committed quantum bit in superposition throughout, without detectably deviating ...

Kent’s paper considers the problem of bit commitment whose security rests solely on physical assumptions (called unconditionally secure bit commitment). ...
One of the difficulties of this area of in- vestigation is that the description of bit commitment given above is deceptively simple: Mathematically defining “secure bit commit- ment” is far from trivial ...
Device-independent relativistic quantum bit commitment

We compare a relativistic classical bit commitment scheme with similar features, and note some possible advantages of the quantum schemes. ...

This completes the cycle of study of unconditionally secure bit commitment based on known physical laws. ...
Bit commitment (BC) is an important cryptographic primitive for an agent to convince a mutually mistrustful party that she has already made a binding choice of 0 or 1 but only to reveal her choice at a ...

Can Quantum Cryptography Imply Quantum Mechanics?
[article]
2003
arXiv
pre-print
It has been suggested that the ability of quantum mechanics to allow secure distribution of secret key together with its inability to allow bit commitment or communicate superluminally might be sufficient ...
I argue using a toy theory as a counterexample that this is not the case. I further discuss whether an additional axiom (key storage) brings back the quantum nature of the theory. ...
This result is in direct contradiction to Clifton, Bub, and Halvorson's, whose result seems to depend on the additional assumption that a physical theory must be a C * algebra. ...

Here we report a new development in physics-based cryptography which gives a completely new way of implementing bit commitment that is perfectly secure. ...
In the task cryptographers call bit commitment, one party encrypts a prediction in a way that cannot be decrypted until they supply a key, but has only one valid key. ...

It is therefore impossible to implement an unconditionally secure bit-commitment scheme within quantum physics. ...
A bit-commitment scheme allows one party (Alice) to commit to a decision in such a way as a second party (Bob) will believe her when she later reveals it, but cannot find out her decision until that point ...
