摘要

Priced oblivious transfer (POT) is a cryptographic protocol in which a merchant provides a set of items for sale and a customer acquires one of them. The protocol guarantees that the customer receives the item if and only if they have paid its price, while the merchant remains oblivious to the acquired item. Obviously, the merchant cannot not know what price the client has paid, as such price could be unique. A recent paper proposes a POT protocol that is built from two blocks: an e-coin system and an asymmetric secure computation protocol. In this paper, we present a quantum-resistant proposal for the latter building block. As a result, we are able to construct a quantum-resistant POT protocol implemented from the newly proposed asymmetric secure computation protocol and a post-quantum implementation of the mentioned e-coin system. To our knowledge, no quantum-resistant POT protocol has been proposed so far.
