White-Box Encryption Scheme Using a Quantum Memory
Abstract
White-box cryptography is often used in embedded applications. Although white-box cryptography with provable security has been proposed recently, the circuit size is much larger than that of usual block ciphers. We address this problem in a different way from previous works. In particular, we propose a white-box symmetric cipher using quantum memory. The size of our cipher is a polynomial in input-length and output-length of an underlying function. The security against classical attacks is reduced to the security of the underlying classical pseudo-random function. We show that quantum attacks using the generalized Grover algorithm to our cipher are ineffective.
