Abstract

This study proposes a theoretical quantum authenticated secure communication (QASC) protocol using Einstein—Podolsky—Rosen (EPR) entangle state, which enables a sender to send a secure as well as authenticated message to a receiver within only one step quantum transmission without having the classical channels and the certification authority.

An efficient quantum secure direct communication scheme with authentication

Yu‐Guang Yang, Wen Qiao-yan, Fu-Chen Zhu

In this paper an efficient quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) scheme with authentication is presented, which is based on quantum entanglement and polarized single photons. The present protocol uses Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) pairs and polarized single photons in batches. A particle of the EPR pairs is retained in the sender's station, and the other is transmitted forth and back between the sender and the receiver, similar to the ``ping–pong'' QSDC protocol. According to the shared information beforehand, these two kinds of quantum states are mixed and then transmitted via a quantum channel. The EPR pairs are used to transmit secret messages and the polarized single photons used for authentication and eavesdropping check. Consequently, because of the dual contributions of the polarized single photons, no classical information is needed. The intrinsic efficiency and total efficiency are both 1 in this scheme as almost all of the instances are useful and each EPR pair can be used to carry two bits of information.

Deterministic quantum cryptographic communication with entanglement state

Dazu Huang, Zhigang Chen

A quantum cryptographic communication protocol with entanglement state is proposed to distribute secret messages deterministically. In this scheme the messages are encoded in the particles of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs rotated random polarization angles by applying random and independent operations. Security analysis indicates that this scheme is secure against the present Trojan horse attack strategy and the impersonation attack strategy, and it can also ensure the security of the messages in a low noisy channel. Moreover, it has an advantage that communication can be launched by the sender just like an actual communication system.

Quantum secure direct communication by Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs and entanglement swapping

Ting Gao, Fengli Yan, Zhi‐Xi Wang

We present a quantum secure direct communication scheme achieved by swapping quantum entanglement. In this scheme a set of ordered Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs is used as a quantum information channel for sending secret messages directly. After insuring the safety of the quantum channel, the sender Alice encodes the secret messages directly by applying a series local operations on her particles sequence according to their stipulation. Using three EPR pairs, three bits of secret classical information can be faithfully transmitted from Alice to remote Bob without revealing any information to a potential eavesdropper. By both Alice and Bob's GHZ state measurement results, Bob is able to read out the encoded secret messages directly. The protocol is completely secure if perfect quantum channel is used, because there is not a transmission of the qubits carrying the secret message between Alice and Bob in the public channel.

QUANTUM SECURE DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH A CONSTANT NUMBER OF EPR PAIRS

Chin-Yung Lu, Shiou-An Wang, Yuh-Jiuh Cheng +1 more

In this paper, we propose a quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol based on Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) pairs. Previous QSDC protocols usually consume one EPR pair to transmit a single qubit. If Alice wants to transmit an n-bit message, she needs at least n/2 EPR pairs when a dense coding scheme is used. In our protocol, if both Alice and Bob preshare 2c + 1 EPR pairs with the trusted server, where c is a constant, Alice can transmit an arbitrary number of qubits to Bob. The 2c EPR pairs are used by Alice and Bob to authenticate each other and the remaining EPR pair is used to encode and decode the message qubit. Thus the total number of EPR pairs used for one communication is a constant no matter how many bits will be transmitted. It is not necessary to transmit EPR pairs before transmitting the secret message except for the preshared constant number of EPR pairs. This reduces both the utilization of the quantum channel and the risk. In addition, after the authentication, the server is not involved in the message transmission. Thus we can prevent the server from knowing the message.

QUANTUM SECURE DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITHOUT USING PERFECT QUANTUM CHANNEL

Jian Wang, Quan Zhang, Chaojing Tang

Most of quantum secure direct communication protocols need a pre-established secure quantum channel. Only after insuring the security of quantum channel, could the sender encode the secret message and send them to the receiver through the secure channel. In this paper, we present a quantum secure direct communication protocol using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs without insuring the security of quantum channel before transmitting the secret message. Compared with the protocol proposed by Deng et al. [Phys. Rev. A 68, 042317 (2003)] and the scheme proposed by Yan et al. [Euro. Phys. J. B 41, 75 (2004)], the present protocol provides higher efficiency.
