Comment on "Quantum Asymmetric Cryptography with Symmetric Keys"

Abstract

Recently, Gao et al. proposed a quantum public key cryptography (QPKC) scheme with symmetric keys [Sci China Ser G 52(12), 2009, 1925-1931]. This study shows that their scheme has a pitfall that could be mounted to an eavesdropping attack. That is, an attacker can reveal a legitimate user's secret message without being detected by using the invisible photons.

Quantum asymmetric cryptography with symmetric keys

Qiao Wen

Based on quantum encryption,we present a new idea for quantum public-key cryptography (QPKC) and construct a whole theoretical framework of a QPKC system. We show that the quantum-mechanical nature renders it feasible and reasonable to use symmetric keys in such a scheme,which is quite different from that in conventional public-key cryptography. The security of our scheme is analyzed and some features are discussed. Furthermore,the state-estimation attack to a prior QPKC scheme is demonstrated.

Comment on "Cryptanalysis and improvement of multiparty quantum secret sharing schemes"

Gan Gao

We show that, using Wang et al. attack [T.-y. Wang, Q.-y. Wen, F. Gao, S. Lin, F.-c. Zhu, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2008) 65], the first agent and the last agent cannot eavesdrop all the secret messages in Zhang et al. QSSCM scheme [Z.-j. Zhang, G. Gao, X. Wang, L.-f Han, S.-h. Shi, Opt. Commun. 269 (2007) 418]. In some sense, Wang et al. attack is unsuccessful for Zhang et al. QSSCM scheme.

Review Paper on Quantum Computing and Quantum Cryptography

Brijraj Singh Solanki, Apurva Saini, Apurva Saini

Quantum computing and quantum cryptography are two areas of research that have the potential to transform modern computing and communication. Quantum computing promises to solve computational problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers, while quantum cryptography provides a way to secure communication channels that is immune to eavesdropping. Quantum cryptography is one of the emerging topics in the field of computer industry. This article focuses on quantum cryptography and how this technology makes a valuable contribution to an intensive defense strategy of completely secure key distribution. The scope of this article covers the weaknesses of modern digital cryptographic systems, the basic concepts of quantum cryptography, the practical implementations of this technology, and its limitations. , and finally the future direction that quantum cryptography is headed. We describe the result of an apparatus and protocol designed to perform quantum key distribution, whereby two users do not share any secret information (no private or public keys are known). previously known) initially exchanges a random quantum transmission consisting of veryweakly polarized light rays. In particular, readers can explore the following topics in depth: current cryptographic schemes (symmetric and asymmetric), the difference between quantum and classical computing, challenges of quantum computing, quantum algorithms (Shor and Grover), public key cryptographic schemes affected, symmetry affected schemes, impact on hash functions and post-quantum cryptography

Quantum asymmetric key crypto scheme using Grover iteration

Chun Seok Yoon, Changho Hong, Min Sung Kang +2 more

Here, we propose a quantum asymmetric key cryptography scheme using Grover's quantum search algorithm. In the proposed scheme, Alice generates a pair of public and private keys, keeps the private keys safe, and only discloses public keys to the outside. Bob uses Alice's public key to send a secret message to Alice and Alice uses her private key to decrypt the secret message. Furthermore, we discuss the safety of quantum asymmetric key encryption techniques based on quantum mechanical properties.

Quantum Cryptography

Ahmed Mahmoud Abbas

Quantum cryptography is known the most up-to-date in domain of realistic cryptography notably the menace of quantum cryptanalysis which threatens security firmness of public key cryptography. Quantum cryptography has a famous scheme known as Quantum Key Exchange (QKE), that administrates generation and distribution of a secured random key between legitimate channel users depicted as sender and receiver. Consequently, such key could be used as a key for one-time pad hybrid cryptosystems to encrypt and authenticate messages over a quantum channel. (QKE) is based on unifying quantum physics concepts and information theory with conventional cryptographic schemes that target to produce a short secret session key between any two legitimate parties. An important phase in key creation of BB84 protocol is Privacy Amplification phase where two interconnecting parties distill highly secret shared key from a larger body of shared key, which is only partially secret. The two legitimate parties publicly exchange information to create a compressed key free from biased bits known by an eavesdropper.
