Security analysis and improvements of two QKD protrocols using complete Bell-state measurements

Yumin Wang

Security analysis for two quantum key distribution protocols was presented by using EPR pair and complete Bell-state measurements.It is also shown that those two protocols are totally equivalent from the point of view of the topological structures on how to measure the corresponding qubits at random.The paper proved that Bell-state measurement basis can detect some special eavesdropping behaviors,but not all of them.Thus,this enables all same errors occurring on the sampling qubits undetected,which impairs the security of quantum key distribution protocols.|0+,|0-,|1+,|1- measurement basis was used to replace complete Bell-state basis,which can avoid the incomplete error-detecting strategy.And unconditionally security was guaranteed bythe improved protocol.

Quantum Key Distribution Scheme with High Efficiency

Gan Gao

Based on entanglement swapping, a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme is proposed. In this scheme, the secret keys are formed by comparing initial Bell states and outcomes of entanglement swapping. Moreover, all initial Bell states prepared by Alice and Bob are completely arbitrary. As the classical information exchanged between two parties is very little, this QKD scheme has a high efficiency. In addition, in order to prevent eavesdropping, decoy particles are used.

Quantum key distribution protocol based on any Bell states

Liu Lin-Yao, HU Meng-Jun, Guangjun Xie

In order to improve the security and efficiency of quantum key distribution protocol,a protocol was proposed based on entanglement swapping.The two parties of communication establish the key by performing the Bell state measurement.No other people can get the key without being found.Different from the proposed protocol,the Bell measurement of any two Bell states can be realized to achieve the purpose of quantum key distribution.It does not need multi-particle entangled state but only EPR pair to realize the protocol.Analysis results showed that this protocol not only ensures the security of the quantum key shared information,but also uses the entanglement states of two photons without unitary operation. And the protocol is simple and efficient.
