| Abstract | Quantum computing poses both a fundamental threat to existing classical cryptography and an exciting opportunity to develop new forms of cryptography. This project aims to provide a theoretical foundation for constructing and analyzing cryptographic primitives and protocols in these two contexts, known as post-quantum cryptography and quantum cryptography. The project centers on two main questions. First, are there post-quantum (i.e., quantum-safe) instantiations of our most important cryptograp |
