Description

A very deep problem with the Mersenne and Fibonacci sequences asks if there are infinitely many prime terms. Bang and Carmichael have studied the simpler problem which asks when the terms have primitive divisors. In my seminar I study the analogous questions for elliptic divisibility sequences.

    We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]
