Quantum sealing of a classical string

Guang-Ping He

Published Feb 15, 2005• 0 citations

Abstract

A quantum scheme is proposed which seals a classical string. Each bit of the string can be read out with an arbitrarily small error rate, while reading the string can be detected except with an exponentially small probability.

QUANTUM BIT STRING SEALING

Guang Ping He

Though it was proven that secure quantum sealing of a single classical bit is impossible in principle, here we propose an unconditionally secure quantum sealing protocol which seals a classical bit string. Any reader can obtain each bit of the sealed string with an arbitrarily small error rate, while reading the string is detectable. The protocol is simple and easy to implement. The possibility of using this protocol to seal a single bit in practice is also briefly discussed.

Sealing quantum message by quantum code

H. F. Chau

Quantum error correcting code is a useful tool to combat noise in quantum computation. It is also an important ingredient in a number of unconditionally secure quantum key distribution schemes. Here, I am going to show that quantum code can also be used to seal a quantum message. Specifically, every one can still read the content of the sealed quantum message. But, any such attempt can be detected by an authorized verifier with an exponentially close to one probability

An information-theoretic security analysis of quantum string sealing

Masaki Nakanishi, Seiichiro Tani, Shigeru Yamashita

Abstract: A quantum sealing protocol is a quantum cryptographic protocol that can detect unsealing of a message. It is known that quantum bit sealing is insecure. However, this does not imply that quantum string sealing is also insecure. So the possibility of quantum string sealing has been studied. In this paper, we propose a quantum sealing protocol and give an information theoretic analysis. We also show that our protocol is almost optimal for uniformly distributed inputs in the sense that the upper bound of information leaks almost matches the trivial lower bound.

Quantum Seals

Sudhir Kumar Singh, R. Srikanth

A quantum seal is a way of encoding a message into quantum states, so that anybody may read the message with little error, while authorized verifiers can detect that the seal has been broken. We present a simple extension to the Bechmann–Pasquinucci majority-voting scheme that is impervious to coherent attacks, and further, encompasses sealing quantum messages by means of quantum encryption. The scheme is relatively easy to implement, requiring neither entanglement nor controlled operations during the state preparation, reading or verification stages.

Quantum Seals

Helle Bechmann-Pasquinucci

A quantum seal is a way of encoding a classical message into quantum states, so that everybody can read the message error-free, but at the same time the sender and all intended readers who have some prior knowledge of the quantum seal, can check if the seal has been broken and the message read. The verification is done without reading nor disturbing the sealed message.
