LARGE PAYLOAD BIDIRECTIONAL QUANTUM SECURE DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITHOUT INFORMATION LEAKAGE

Published Aug 1, 2013• 39 citations

Abstract

A large payload bidirectional quantum secure direct communication (BQSDC) protocol without information leakage is proposed, which is based on entanglement swapping between any two Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Two remote authorized parties, Alice and Bob, can safely exchange their individual secret messages without worrying about the information leakage problem. Our protocol uses a shared secret GHZ state to overcome the information leakage problem. The shared secret GHZ state plays two roles in the bidirectional communication process: on one hand, it lets Bob know the prepared initial state; on the other hand, it is used for encoding Bob's secret messages. Moreover, our protocol can transmit six bits of secret messages per round communication. Compared with those previous BQSDC protocols, the advantage of our protocol lies in having the following two characters simultaneously: on one hand, it overcomes the information leakage problem; one the other hand, its capacity is as high as six bits per round communication.

Controlled Bidirectional Quantum Secure Direct Communication without Information Leakage Based on Bell States and Bell Measurements

YE Tian-y

A controlled bidirectional quantum secure direct communication protocol without information leakage was proposed.In the proposed protocol,two authenticated communication parties,Alice and Bob,were able to securely exchange their secret messages simultaneously under the control of the controller,Charlie.The problem of information leakage was overcome by making full use of the measurement correlation property after entanglement swapping among three Bell states.Moreover,the proposed protocol merely took the Bell state as quantum resource and merely needed the Bell measurement so that it was convenient to implement.Security analysis shows that the proposed protocol can detect not only the active attacks from the outside eavesdropper,but also the dishonest behavior from the controller,Charlie.It can be concluded that the proposed protocol has good security.

Quantum steganography with a large payload based on dense coding and entanglement swapping of Greenberger—Horne—Zeilinger states

Tian-Yu Ye, Li-zhen Jiang

A quantum steganography protocol with a large payload is proposed based on the dense coding and the entanglement swapping of the Greenberger—Horne—Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Its super quantum channel is formed by building up a hidden channel within the original quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) scheme. Based on the original QSDC, secret messages are transmitted by integrating the dense coding and the entanglement swapping of the GHZ states. The capacity of the super quantum channel achieves six bits per round covert communication, much higher than the previous quantum steganography protocols. Its imperceptibility is good, since the information and the secret messages can be regarded to be random or pseudo-random. Moreover, its security is proved to be reliable.

Man Zhong-Xiao, Yun‐Jie Xia

A controlled bidirectional quantum secret direct communication scheme is proposed by using a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state. In the scheme, two users can exchange their secret messages simultaneously with a set of devices under the control of a third party. The security of the scheme is analysed and confirmed.

Quantum secure direct communication by using GHZ states and entanglement swapping

Zhong‐Xiao Man, Yun‐Jie Xia, Nguyen Ba An

We present a three-party quantum secure direct communication protocol by using Greenberg–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states and entanglement swapping. The proposed scheme realizes authorized parties' secure exchange of their respective secret messages simultaneously and directly in a set of devices. We show that the scheme is secure against eavesdropper's commonly used attacks. We also generalize the protocol to the N -party case by using N -partite GHZ states.

Improvement of Controlled Bidirectional Quantum Direct Communication Using a GHZ State

Tian-Yu Ye, Li-zhen Jiang

The security of controlled bidirectional quantum direct communication using a GHZ state [Chin. Phys. Lett. 23 (2006) 1680] is analyzed. It turns out that the MX protocol has the problem of definite information leakage, i.e., the first bit of a secret message from any communication party is always leaked out without any active attack after the controller's announcement of measurement results. We put forward two approaches to improve this. The first is to merely modify the encoding rule of the MX protocol, while the second is to use a Bell state as the quantum resource instead of a GHZ state. Both our approaches can ensure that all the bits of secret messages from two communication parties are not leaked out after the controller's announcement of measurement results. Moreover, the controlled bidirectional quantum secure direct communication protocol based on the second approach is more convenient to implement than the MX protocol, since it merely uses a Bell state as the quantum resource and only needs to perform the Bell-basis measurement.

BIDIRECTIONAL QUANTUM SECURE DIRECT COMMUNICATION IN DRIVEN CAVITY QED

Chuan-Jia Shan, Ji-Bing Liu, W. W. Cheng +3 more

A theoretical scheme of bidirectional quantum secure direct communication is proposed in the context of driven cavity QED. We first present an entanglement swapping scheme in cavities where two atoms without previous interaction can be entangled with a success probability of unity. Then, based on a novel property of entanglement swapping, we propose a bidirectional quantum secure direct communication protocol, in which two legitimate users can exchange their different secret messages simultaneously in a direct way. The probability of success in our scheme is 1.0. This scheme does not involve apparent (or direct) Bell-state measurements and is insensitive to the cavity decay and the thermal field.
