Statistically-Secure Bit Commitment and Coin Flipping Protocols Based on Quantum Hardware Assumptions

Bit commitment is impossible to achieve with unconditional security, even in quantum cryptogra- phy. We show that statistically secure bit commitment, satisfying both hiding and binding, can be constructed from hybrid locked physical unclonable functions (HLPUFs), a hardware primitive that combines classical hardware t...
