Abstract

In this paper we provide an quantum determined key distribution protocol using non-orthogonal quantum states. Two parts can build a key by exchanging some qubits. The principles of quantum mechanics guarantee that the protocol is unconditionally secure. No one except the two parts can get the key. There are no entangled states and complex quantum operations except measurements needed in our protocol. So it is easier to carry out and more robust in practice.

Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Using Orthogonal Product Quantum States

Dexi Zhang

Quantum key distribution is the most secure technology to distribute a secret key. There is a set of orthogonal product states in a two-qubit three-state quantum system which can show nonlocality. This paper provides a quantum key distribution protocol based otn the nonlocality of such system. The two parties establish the key by exchanging quantum qubits and performing the collective measurement on them. The laws of quantum mechanics guarantee that this protocol is unconditionally secure. No other people can get the key without being found. There are no entangled states and quantum operations needed in the protocol. So it is easier to carry out in practice. And it can gain high reliability and robustness.

Quantum Determined Key Distribution Scheme Using the Bell Measurement

Xiaoyu Li, Dexi Zhang

In this paper we provide a quantum determined key distribution scheme. Unlike the previous schemes which produce a random string in the key distribution process as the key, in our scheme the two parties can share a predetermined binary string as the key with shared entangled states and performing CNOT operation and the Bell state measurement. The principles of quantum mechanics guarantees that no other people can get the key. So the scheme is unconditionally secure.

In this paper we provide a quantum determined key distribution protocol using quantum teleportation. Unlike the previous protocols which produce a random string in the key distribution process as the key, in our protocol the two parties can share a predetermined binary string as the key with the help of quantum teleportation.

Information Delay Protocol Using Non-Orthogonal Quantum States

De Xi Zhang, Xiao Yu Li

In this paper we provide an information delay protocol using non-orthogonal quantum states. One person can send the other person some information which cannot be read until he or she lets the latter do. The principles of quantum mechanics guarantee that the protocol is unconditionally secure. When the sender decides to let the other get the information, he or she need only to send the latter some dictates through a public classical channel. There are no entangled states and complex quantum operations except measurements needed in our protocol. So it is easier to carry out and more robust in practice.

Quantum key distribution based on orthogonal states.

Hao Shu

Quantum key distribution(QKD) is one of the most significant areas in quantum information theory. For nearly four decades, substantial QKD protocols and cryptographic methods are developed. In early years, the security of protocols are depend on switching different bases, which, in fact, are based on non-orthogonal states. The most famous example is the BB84 protocol. Later, other techniques were developed for orthogonal states cryptography. Representations of such protocols including the GV protocol and order-rearrangement protocols. It might be harder to implement protocols based on orthogonal states since they require extra techniques to obtain security. In this paper, we give two QKD protocols based on orthogonal states. One of them needs not to employ order-rearrangement techniques while the other needs. We give analyses of their security and efficiency. Also, anti-noisy discussions would be given. Our protocols are highly efficient when considering consumptions of both qubits and classical bits while they are robust over several noisy channels. Moveover, the requirements of maximally entangled states maybe less than previous protocols and so the efficiency of measurements may be increased.
