Blind Transpiler: An open-source library for universally blind and homomorphic quantum computations

Blind quantum computation is a cryptographic primitive that allows a limited-capability client to delegate its complex computation to a remote server without revealing its data and/or computation. This branch of quantum cryptography has been bifurcated into two distinct primitives, quantum homomorphic encryption (concerning the security of only data) and universal blind quantum computation (concerning the security of data and the computing algorithm). These primitives have immense applicability in problems like secure cloud computing, secure quantum variational algorithms, quantum federated learning, and secure multiparty computation. However, no software tools exist for the rapid prototyping of such protocols, hindering the academic interrogation for potential applications. In this paper, we describe the development of the first such library for transpiling circuits written in Qiskit to its blind counterpart, which can then be delegated in a client-server architecture without revealing the client's data and/or computation. The proposed library is designed in modular and reusable component layers, enabling easier scalability to newer BQC primitives and robustness against changes in underlying primitives. We show the implementation of these primitives to a blind variational quantum classifier for the IRIS dataset.

Universal Blind Quantum Computation with Recursive Rotation Gates

Blind Quantum Computation lets a limited-capability client delegate its complex computation to a remote server without revealing its data or computation. Several such protocols have been proposed under varied quantum computing models. However, these protocols either rely on highly entangled resource states (in measurement-based models) or are based on non-parametric resource sets (in circuit-based models). These restrictions hinder the practical applicability of such an algorithm in the NISQ era, especially concerning the hybrid quantum-classical infrastructure, which depends on parametric gates. We present a protocol for universal blind quantum computation based on recursive decryption of parametric rotation gates, which does not require a highly entangled state at the server side and substantially reduces the communication rounds required for practical prototyping of secure variational algorithms.

Quantum computing on encrypted data with arbitrary rotation gates

An efficient technique of computing on encrypted data allows a client with limited capability to perform complex operations on a remote fault-tolerant server without leaking anything about the input or output. Quantum computing provides information-theoretic security to solve such a problem, and many such techniques have been proposed under the premises of half-blind quantum computation. However, they are dependent on a fixed non-parametric resource set that comprises some universal combination of $H,S,T,CX, CZ$ or $CCX$ gates. In this study, we show that recursive decryption of the parametric gate, $R_z(θ)$, is possible exactly when $θ=\pmπ/2^m$ for $m\in \mathbb{Z^{+}}$, and approximately with arbitrary precision $ε$ for given $θ$. We also show that a blind algorithm based on such a technique needs at most $O(\log_2^2(π/ε))$ computation steps and communication rounds, while the techniques based on a non-parametric resource set require $O(\ln^{3.97}(1/ε))$ rounds. We use these results to propose a universal scheme of half-blind quantum computation for computing on encrypted data using arbitrary rotation gates. This substantial reduction in the depth of blind circuit is an affirmative step towards the practical application of such techniques in secure NISQ-era computing.

Power and Delay Aware On-Demand Routing For Ad Hoc Networks

Wide implementation of IEEE 802.11 based networks could lead to deployment of localized wireless data communication environments with a limited number of mobile hosts, called ad hoc networks. Implementation of a proper routing methodology in ad hoc networks makes it efficient in terms of performance. A wide spectrum of routing protocols has been contributed by several researchers. Real time applications have been most popular among the applications, run by ad hoc networks. Such applications strictly adhere to the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements such as overall throughput, end-toend delay and power level. Support of QoS requirements becomes more challenging due to dynamic nature of MANETs, where mobility of nodes results in frequent change in topology. QoS aware routing protocols can serve to the QoS support, which concentrate on determining a path between source and destination with the QoS requirements of the flow being satisfied. We propose a protocol, called Power and Delay aware Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (PDTORA), based on Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) Protocol, where verification of power and delay requirements is carried out with a query packet at each node along the path between source and destination. Simulations justify better performance of the proposed new protocol in terms of network lifetime, end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio as compared to TORA.

Multi-Hop Bandwidth Management Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

An admission control scheme should play the role of a coordinator for flows in a data communication network, to provide the guarantees as the medium is shared. The nodes of a wired network can monitor the medium to know the available bandwidth at any point of time. But, in wireless ad hoc networks, a node must consume the bandwidth of neighboring nodes, during a communication. Hence, the consumption of bandwidth by a flow and the availability of resources to any wireless node strictly depend upon the neighboring nodes within its transmission range. We present a scalable and efficient admission control scheme, Multi-hop Bandwidth Management Protocol (MBMP), to support the QoS requirements in multi-hop ad hoc networks. We simulate several options to design MBMP and compare the performances of these options through mathematical analysis and simulation results, and compare its effectiveness with the existing admission control schemes through extensive simulations.

A Distributed Cluster Scheme For Bandwidth Management In Multi-hop MANETs

Electronic collaboration among devices in a geographically localized environment is made possible with the implementation of IEEE 802.11 based wireless ad hoc networks. Dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs) may lead to unpredictable intervention of attacks or fault occurrence, which consequently may partition the network, degrade its performance, violate the QoS requirements and most importantly, affect bandwidth allocation to mobile nodes in the network. In this paper, we propose a new distributed cluster scheme for MANETs, especially in harsh environments, based on the concept of survivability to support QoS requirements and to protect bandwidth efficiently. With the incorporation of clustering algorithms in survivability technology, we employ a simple network configuration and expect to reduce occurrences of faults in MANETs. At the same time, we address the scalability problem, which represents a great challenge to network configuration. We do expect a simplification of accessing bandwidth allocation with required QoS support for different applications.
