Summary

Hybrid locked physical unclonable functions support statistically hiding and binding two-party protocols under stated assumptions.

The authors prove bit-commitment and coin-flipping constructions that combine classical hardware tokens with quantum communication. Practical security depends on the assumed behavior of the hybrid hardware primitive.

Why it matters

Hybrid locked physical unclonable functions support statistically hiding and binding two-party protocols under stated assumptions.
