Revisiting Controlled Quantum Secure Direct Communication Using a Non-symmetric Quantum Channel with Quantum Superdense Coding

Abstract

Recently Xia and Song [Phys. Lett. A 364 (2007) 117] have proposed a controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC) protocol. They claimed that in their protocol only with the help of the controller Charlie, the receiver Alice can successfully extract the secret message from the sender Bob. In this letter, first we will show that within their protocol the controller Charlie's role could have been excluded if it were not for their unreasonable design. We then revise the Xia–Song CQSDC protocol such that its original advantages are retained and the CQSDC can be really realized.

PERFECT CONTROLLED QUANTUM SECURE DIRECT COMMUNICATION

Yan Xia, Jie Song, He‐Shan Song

We present a complete controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC) protocol using a nonsymmetric quantum channel. We point out that the roles of controllers in two recent works16,17 can be excluded due to their design. We also give a revised CQSDC protocol such that their original advantages are retained and the complete CQSDC can be realized. We then analyze the roles of the controllers in different CQSDC protocols with different purposes and these protocols' applicabilities.

最近夏和歌[Phys。Lett。一 364 (2007 ) 117 ] 建议了控制的量安全直接通讯(CQSDC ) 协议。他们宣称在他们仅仅在控制器查理的帮助下的协议，接收装置爱丽斯能成功地从发送者鲍勃提取秘密消息。在这封信，如果它不为他们的无理的设计，首先，我们将证明在他们的协议以内，控制器查理的角色能被排除了。我们然后修订夏·松·克斯德克协议以便它的原来的优点被保留， CQSDC 能确实被认识到。

Revisiting Quantum Secure Direct Communication with W State

Jun Liu, Liu Yi-Min, Hai-Jing Cao +2 more

The quantum secure direct communication protocol recently proposed by Cao and Song [Chin. Phys. Lett. 23 (2006) 290] (i.e., the C-S QSDC protocol) is revisited. A security leak is pointed out. Taking advantage of this leak, an eavesdropper may adopt the intercept–measure–resend strategy to attack the quantum channel such that in the C-S QSDC protocol the secret message can be completely eavesdropped. To fix the leak, the original version of the C-S QSDC protocol is revised. As a consequence, the security is improved and assured at least in the case of an ideal quantum channel.

Cryptanalysis and improvement of controlled secure direct communication

Shih-Hung Kao, Tzonelih Hwang

This paper points out that, due to a flaw in the sender's encoding, the receiver in Gao et al. 's controlled quantum secret direct communication (CQSDC) protocol [ Chin. Phys. 14 (2005), No. 5, p. 893 ] can reveal the whole secret message without permission from the controller. An improvement is proposed to avoid this flaw.
