Black-Hole Radiation Decoding as a Cryptographic Assumption

Simons Institute via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intriguing connection between high-energy physics and cryptography in this 47-minute lecture by Zvika Brakersky from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Delve into the proposed equivalence between the hardness of decoding black-hole Hawking radiation and the existence of secure quantum cryptographic primitives. Examine how this relationship provides a potential physical justification for secure cryptography and its implications for bit-commitment schemes and oblivious transfer protocols using quantum communication. Consider the broader implications of such connections in other high-energy physics phenomena and their potential impact on the field of cryptography.
