Information signature protocols using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs
Zhang Peng-yun
Abstract
Two quantum digital signature schemes using the entanglement character of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR) pairs were researched,and a protocol based on comparing the measurement result and the other protocol based on teleportation were proposed.In the first protocol,the communicators measured their EPR and compared the measurement results with the message M to implement signature and verification,in the meantime using quantum one-way function to guarantee its security.In the second protocol,the sender sent M to the receiver via quantum teleportation to implement signature and verification,whose security was guaranteed by the physical characteristics of quantum teleportation.These two protocols did not need a third party who was worthy of being trusted,neither need any keys in the communication process.Furthermore,they had unconditional security.
