Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

8.6.1 Further reading

Course subject(s) 08. Quantum cryptography beyond key-distribution

There are many good introductions to multiparty cryptography available online. Before going to the surveys, it is worth taking a look at Blum’s 1983 paper, “Coin flipping by telephone“, which is a great read and a good introduction to the difficulties one faces when one doesn’t trust one’s interlocutor! 

For an extensive treatment, we can recommend Oded Goldreich’s “Foundations of cryptography: a primer“, which gives extensive discussion of the setup, security notions, and examples. A more focused but sometimes more precise account is given in the introduction by Lindell and Pinkas, “Secure multiparty computation for privacypreserving data mining“.

For quantum protocols there is unfortunately no good general resource available. You can find specific pointers in the lecture notes. A thorough account to some of the difficulties faced when trying to come up with the right security definitions in the quantum setting can be found in a relatively recent paper by Unruh, “Universally composable quantum multi-party computation“.
