How to Build Pseudorandom Unitaries in Microcrypt

We provide the first evidence relative to a classical oracle that pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) can exist without quantum-computable one-way functions. To obtain this result, we first prove that five independent random diagonal phase layers interleaved with Hadamard transforms \[ U=F_5HF_4HF_3HF_2HF_1 \] form a strong...

Certified Randomness without Structure Against Shallow-Query Adversaries

In a recent breakthrough, Yamakawa and Zhandry (J. ACM 2024) constructed a proof of quantumness in the quantum random oracle model (QROM) in which the quantum prover samples a codeword preimage of a publicly computable function H. They conjectured that given any H, a successful prover must sample their preimage from a...

How Not to Build Microcrypt

A key challenge in quantum cryptography is to build quantum one-wayness and pseudorandomness without the use of (quantum computable) one-way functions. So far, this has turned out to be a difficult task, with only a few proposed candidates that are not directly built from one-way functions. Even within these few propos...

Unconditional Certified Randomness without Structure

A certified randomness protocol in the quantum random oracle model is obtained that proves unconditional security of this protocol against adversaries making subexponentially-many adaptive quantum queries to the random oracle.
