Both of these results are provably impossible to achieve in the standard quantum interactive model. A quantum bit-commitment that is both statistically hiding and statistically binding is known to be impossible in itself, even without perfect hiding. See [May97, LC98] for impos- sibility results regarding commitments and [GKR08, BGS13] for impossibility results on ideal oblivious transfer, also known as one-time memories.  amas 2 aaa aaa aaa RI le  It can easily be seen that the scheme is perfectly secure against malicious senders, as no data is sent from the receiver to the sender. Security against malicious receivers is more intricate and is detailed in [Sch07]. We provide in Appendix A an alternative proof to that of [Sch07] regarding security against malicious receivers based on the monogamy of entanglement property [TFKW13]. For simplicity’s sake, we prove a weaker security notion than that in [Sch07]. However, by altering the proof’s last stages, the same result as in [Sch07] can be achieved (see Remark 5).
