Quantum Cryptanalysis
summary
Presents two concrete results: a quantum FLT-based inversion framework that lets inversion follow arbitrary addition chains and yields a Basic algorithm and Extended algorithm which cut resource costs — e.g., for n=571 Basic uses 74% of PWLK’s qubits and 94% of its CNOTs, Extended uses 80% of BBHL’s CNOTs and 82% of its depth — by choosing addition chains with fewer doubled terms; and a rigorous ECVRF analysis that defines non-malleability, proves (strong) non-malleability under DDH in the ROM, proves binding from collision resistance, and shows full uniqueness in the QROM via relative indifferentiability.
