Efficient and Secure Measure-Resend Authenticated Semi-Quantum Key Distribution Protocol against Reflecting Attack

Hung-Wen Wang, Chia‐Wei Tsai, Jason Lin +2 more

In 2021, Chang et al. proposed an authenticated semi-quantum key-distribution (ASQKD) protocol using single photons and an authenticated channel. However, an eavesdropper can launch a reflective attack to forge the receiver’s identity without being detected. In addition, Chang et al.’s ASQKD protocol assumes an authenticated classical channel between the sender and the receiver. It is considered illogical to have an authenticated channel in the ASQKD protocol. If these security issues are not addressed, the ASQKD protocol will fail to deliver the secret key. Therefore, this study proposes an efficient and secure ASQKD protocol to circumvent these problems using only single photons. Security analysis proves that the proposed ASQKD protocol can effectively avoid reflecting attacks, collective attacks, and other typical attacks. Compared with the existing ASQKD protocols, this study has the following advantages: based on a single photon, it demands less advanced quantum devices, the communication efficiency is higher than most protocols, it reduces the length of the required pre-shared keys, endures reflecting attacks, collective attacks, and there is no need for the classical channel.

Multiparty Secure Communication by Using Quantum Key Distribution Protocols

Kanchi Gopinath, B. J. Job

By using the order rearrangement of the single photon sequence and unitary transformations, a multiparty controlled quantum communication scheme for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection(CSMA/CD) is presented.In this scheme, messages can only be recovered by the receivers with the permission of all controllers.It is shown that the security of messages transformation can be ensured and the performance of the proposed scheme enhances significantly since the collision can be avoided. In the communication network, transmitting messages from source to destination may traverse several intermediate nodes. For a long period of time, multiple authentications and secure communications between the sender and the receiver are needed for us to transmit messages. In the classical field, authentication provides only conditional security and classical channel cannot provide secure communication for liar detection.In the quantum field, multiple quantum entanglement pairs can be used for liar detection, In this paper, we design quantum authentication protocol and secure communication protocol by only using quantum channel. these protocols previously share a quantum key distribution to detect the dishonest node. The quantum Key distribution can promote authentication and secure communication for achieving higher liar detection probability. Index Terms—single photon sequence, CSMA/CD, multiparty control, quantum communication 1.
