This research establishes the first computational Certified Deletion Property using classical communication protocols derived from the Magic Square Game, a fundamental concept in quantum non-locality. By adapting this framework to secure key leasing for encryption primitives like PRFs and digital signatures, the work bridges advanced quantum game theory with practical cryptographic applications without requiring quantum hardware from the lessee.
Computational Certified Deletion Property of Magic Square Game and its Application to Classical Secure Key Leasing
arXiv:2510.04529v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present the first construction of a computational Certified Deletion Property (CDP) achievable with classical communication, derived from the compilation of the non-local Magic Square Game (MSG). We leverage the KLVY compiler to transform the non-local MSG into a 2-round interactive protocol, rigorously demonstrating that this compilation preserves the game-specific CDP. Previously, the quantum value and rigidity of the compiled game were investigated. We emphasize that we are the first to investigate CDP (local randomness in [Fu and Miller, Phys. Rev. A 97, 032324 (2018)]) for the compiled game. Then, we combine this CDP with the framework [Kitagawa, Morimae, and Yamakawa, Eurocrypt 2025] to construct Secure Key Leasing with classical Lessor (cSKL). SKL enables the Lessor to lease the secret key to the Lessee and verify that a quantum Lessee has indeed deleted the key. In this paper, we realize cSKL for PKE, PRF, and digital signature. Compared to prior works for cSKL, we realize cSKL for PRF and digital signature for the first time. In addition, we succeed in weakening the assumption needed to construct cSKL.
