Quantum Message Authentication Protocol Using Non-orthogonal States
Liju Chen, Shen Pu-bing, Wei Liu, Chaoping Guo
Abstract
This paper provides a quantum message authentication protocol using non-orthogonal states. A user Alice can attach some additional message (named verification) message) with the original message which he wants to send to another user Bob. When Bob receives them, he can affirm that the original message is really from Alice and without being distorted. The laws of quanum physics guarantee that the message authentication protocol is unconditionally secure. No entangled states and complex quantum operations are needed. So it's easier to carry out in practice.
