Researchers Sayantan Ganguly and Shion Samadder Chaudhury introduce the first quantum adaptation of anamorphic encryption, extending classical work by Persiano et al. (2022) to enable covert quantum message embedding within ciphertexts. The paper defines two quantum anamorphic encryption models: a public-key version mirroring classical systems and a novel symmetric-key approach using quantum density matrices of varying dimensions. A key breakthrough is the generalized framework for symmetric-key quantum anamorphic encryption, merging two distinct quantum states into a single indistinguishable ciphertext containing both messages. The work expands into quantum secret-sharing, proposing a computational anamorphic scheme supporting multiple messages, keys, and a unified share function—enhancing security against quantum adversaries. This research bridges classical anamorphic techniques with quantum cryptography, offering stronger privacy guarantees for covert communication in quantum networks.

Quantum Physics arXiv:2511.17924 (quant-ph) [Submitted on 22 Nov 2025] Title:Computational Quantum Anamorphic Encryption and Quantum Anamorphic Secret-Sharing Authors:Sayantan Ganguly, Shion Samadder Chaudhury View a PDF of the paper titled Computational Quantum Anamorphic Encryption and Quantum Anamorphic Secret-Sharing, by Sayantan Ganguly and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The concept of anamorphic encryption, first formally introduced by Persiano et al. in their influential 2022 paper titled ``Anamorphic Encryption: Private Communication Against a Dictator,'' enables embedding covert messages within ciphertexts. One of the key distinctions between a ciphertext embedding a covert message and an original ciphertext, compared to an anamorphic ciphertext, lies in the indistinguishability between the original ciphertext and the anamorphic ciphertext. This encryption procedure has been defined based on a public-key cryptosystem. Initially, we present a quantum analogue of the classical anamorphic encryption definition that is based on public-key encryption. Additionally, we introduce a definition of quantum anamorphic encryption that relies on symmetric key encryption. Furthermore, we provide a detailed generalized construction of quantum anamorphic symmetric key encryption within a general framework, which involves taking any two quantum density matrices of any different dimensions and constructing a single quantum density matrix, which is the quantum anamorphic ciphertext containing ciphertexts of both of them. Subsequently, we introduce a definition of computational anamorphic secret-sharing and extend the work of Çakan et al. on computational quantum secret-sharing to computational quantum anamorphic secret-sharing, specifically addressing scenarios with multiple messages, multiple keys, and a single share function. This proposed secret-sharing scheme demonstrates impeccable security measures against quantum adversaries.
