Compact Quantum Circuit Design of PUFFIN and PRINT Lightweight Ciphers for Quantum Key Recovery Attack

Quantum computing plays a vital role in the next generation computing platforms as researchers have achieved quantum supremacy by proving that quantum computers can outperform classical computers. These high performance computers will pose a serious threat to the security of the conventional cryptographic algorithms. The secret key of the conventional cryptographic algorithms when implemented by quantum circuits can easily be recovered with the help of Grover key search algorithm. The Grover’s algorithm requires low cost quantum implementation of cryptographic algorithms in order to mount the quantum key recovery attack successfully. Hence the low cost quantum implementation of conventional…
