    Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes

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 to exist classically as Cryptomania is believed to be different from Minicrypt. In particular, by instantiating our construction using Non-Interactive ZK (NIZK), we provide the first round-optimal (2-message) quantum OT protocol secure in the random oracle model, and round-optimal extensions to string and k-out-of-n OT. At the heart of our construction lies a new method that allows us to generalize zero-knowledge proofs to quantum states (importantly, without destroying the tested state!).
