Analyzing Quantum Cryptographic Protocols Using Optimization Techniques
Sikora, Jamie William Jonathon (University of Waterloo, 2012-05-22)This thesis concerns the analysis of the unconditional security of quantum cryptographic protocols using convex optimization techniques. It is divided into the study of coin-flipping and oblivious transfer. We first examine ... -
Applications of Semidefinite Programming in Quantum Cryptography
Sikora, Jamie William Jonathon (University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)Coin-flipping is the cryptographic task of generating a random coin-flip between two mistrustful parties. Kitaev discovered that the security of quantum coin-flipping protocols can be analyzed using semidefinite programming. ...
