Is the Quantum Random Oracle Model (QROM) relevant for proving security of quantum cryptographic protocols? Ask Question Asked today Modified today Viewed 3 times 1 I am familiar with the Quantum Random Oracle Model (QROM), and know that many post-quantum cryptography schemes rely on QROM-based security proofs. My question concerns whether the QROM plays a similar role in quantum cryptography, specifically in protocols like Quantum Key Distribution. Is the QROM used (or useful) in security proofs for quantum cryptographic schemes? cryptographyqkd Share Improve this question Follow asked 3 hours ago Rui 111 1 bronze badge New contributor Add a comment Know someone who can answer?
