Abstract/Summary:
Minimum Disclosure Proofs by Protocol allow a prover to convince a verifier that the prover knows some verifiable secret information, without allowing the verifier to learn anything about the secret. Quantum Cryptography makes use of the quantum properties of light to allow the prover and the verifier to exchange secret information or to commit to a bit value. The ability to commit to a bit value will be exploited for a minimum disclosure proof by protocol. This thesis unites the two cryptography fields.
