Unclonable Encryption in the Haar Random Oracle Model
Eli Goldin | NYU
We construct unclonable encryption (UE) in the Haar random oracle model, where all parties have query access to U,U†,U∗,UT for a Haar random unitary U. Our scheme satisfies the standard notion of unclonable indistinguishability security, supports reuse of the secret key, and can encrypt arbitrary-length messages. That is, we give the first evidence that (reusable) UE, which requires computational assumptions, exists in "micocrypt", a world where one-way functions may not exist.
As one of our central technical contributions, we build on the recently introduced path recording framework to prove a natural ``unitary reprogramming lemma'', which may be of independent interest.
