We present a construction for non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs of

knowledge in the random oracle model from general sigma-protocols. Our

construction is secure against quantum adversaries. Prior

constructions (by Fiat-Shamir and by Fischlin) are only known to be

secure against classical adversaries, and Ambainis, Rosmanis, Unruh

(FOCS 2014) gave evidence that those constructions might not be secure

against quantum adversaries in general.

To prove security of our constructions, we additionally develop new

techniques for adaptively programming the quantum random oracle.
