ePrint Report: Semi-Quantum Copy-Protection and More

Céline Chevalier, Paul Hermouet, Quoc-Huy Vu

Properties of quantum mechanics have enabled the emergence of quantum cryptographic protocols achieving important goals which are proven to be impossible classically. Unfortunately, this usually comes at the cost of needing quantum power from every party in the protocol, while arguably a more realistic scenario would be a network of classical clients, classically interacting with a quantum server.
In this paper, we focus on copy-protection, which is a …
