Undergraduate Writings
-
Classical Verification of Quantum Computation (Description) (Slides-I) (Slides-II)
Prepared a report on
[Mah23], with a particular focus on the construction of the function families. This was done as a part of my course [COL872] Lattices in Computer Science.

Minor Project (Part II): Possibilities and Limitations of Indistinguishability Obfuscation(Description) (Slides-I) (Slides-II)
Presentations for my Minor Project Part-II (COD745). Continuing with my previous work, I studied the framework of black-box separations in cryptography and explored the work of Asharov and Segev [[AS15](https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/341)] where they show that there is no fully black-box construction of a collision-resistant function family from an indistinguishability obfuscator for oracle-aided circuits. My work focused on understanding the techniques underlying this separation and investigating the potential extension of their result to the post-quantum setting, analyzing how quantum adversaries and quantum-accessible oracles could influence such impossibility results.
