Abstract

Based on quantum identity authentication, a novel continuous variable quantum steganography protocol is proposed in this paper. It can effectively transmit deterministic secret information in the public quantum channel by taking full advantage of entanglement properties of continuous variable GHZ state. Compared with the existing quantum steganography results, this protocol has the advantages of good imperceptibility and easy implementation. Finally, the detailed performance analysis proves that the proposed protocol has not only these advantages, but also good security and information transmission efficiency, even under eavesdropping attacks, especially to the spectroscopic noise attack.

A Novel Quantum Stegonagraphy Based on Brown States

Zhiguo Qu, Tiancheng Zhu, Jinwei Wang +1 more

In this paper, a quantum steganography protocol based on Brown entangled states is proposed. The new protocol adopts the CNOT operation to achieve the transmission of secret information by the best use of the characteristics of entangled states. Comparing with the previous quantum steganography algorithms, the new protocol focuses on its anti-noise capability for phase-flip noises, which proved its good security resisting on quantum noise. Furthermore, the covert communication of secret information in the quantum secure direct communication channel would not affect the normal information transmission process due to the new protocol's good imperceptibility. If the number of Brown states transmitted in cover protocol is many enough, the imperceptibility of the secret channel can be further enhanced. In aspect of capacity, the new protocol can further expand its capacity by combining with other quantum steganography protocols. Because the proposed protocol does not require the participation of the classic channel when it implements the transmission of secret information, it does not cause any additional information leakage and has good security. The detailed theoretical analysis shows the conclusions that the new protocol has good performance on imperceptibility, capacity and security.

Quantum dialogue protocol with four-mode continuous variable GHZ state

Minghui Zhang, Jinye Peng, Zhengwen Cao

Quantum dialogue can realize the mutual transmission of secret information between two legal users. In most of the existing quantum dialogue protocols, the information carriers applied in quantum dialogue are discrete variable (DV) quantum states. However, there are certain limitations on the preparation and detection of DV quantum states with current techniques. Continuous variable (CV) quantum states can overcome these problems effectively while improving the quantum channel capacity. In this paper, we propose a quantum dialogue protocol with four-mode continuous variable GHZ state. Compared with the existing CV-based quantum dialogue protocols, the protocol allows two users to transmit two groups of secret information with different lengths to each other simultaneously. The channel capacity of the protocol has been improved as each traveling mode carries two- or four-bits of information. In addition, the protocol has been proved to be secure against information leakage problem and some common attacks, such as beam splitter attack and intercept-and-resend attack.

Tripartite quantum deterministic key distribution based on GHZ states

Nanrun Zhou, Song Han-Chong, Li-Hua Gong +1 more

By exploiting the entanglement properties of continuous variable quantum GHZ state, we propose a tripartite quantum deterministic key distribution, in which the key is generated from its amplitude and the phase can be used to test and verify the channel security. The existing quantum deterministic key distribution can only hand over deterministic key to one receiver in one communication. However, we always have to transmit deterministic key to more than one receiver in real life. The analysis results of information theory show that when the channel transmission efficiency is greater than 0.5, the proposed protocol can securely hand over the pre-deterministic key to two receivers simultaneously, and it can also be extended to multiparty quantum deterministic key distribution when preparing multiple entangled state, this will greatly improve the overall efficiency of the key transmission, furthermore, the continuous variable quantum GHZ state could have a higher channel capacity, so the protocol has the important practical significance.

Continuous-variable quantum network coding protocol based on butterfly network model

Zhiguo Qu, Zhexi Zhang, Ming‐Ming Wang +2 more

With the development of quantum network, quantum continuous-variables have practical significance of improving communication. This paper proposes a new continuous-variable quantum network coding protocol (CVQNC) based on the butterfly network model with the hybrid channel of quantum channel and classical channel to realise the cross transmission of quantum information and classical information. The new protocol not only is conducive to the realisation of quantum network, but also can reduce the communication cost of quantum network effectively. It can be seen from the throughput and fidelity analysis that this protocol has a higher throughput than discrete-variable quantum network encoding scheme and classical information network encoding scheme. The ceiling of fidelity in this protocol is 4/9. According to the analysis of simple intercept attack and spectroscope attack, it is secure for the protocol to transmit quantum information and classical information by resisting on the eavesdropping attack of the third-party effectively.

Quantum Identity Authentication Protocol Based on Three-Photon Quantum Error Avoidance Code

Zhiguo Qu, Xinzhu Liu, Shengyao Wu

Quantum identity authentication is one of important techniques in quantum secure communications. So far, most of the quantum identity authentication protocols proposed are based on noise-free environments. However, due to the existence of quantum noise in quantum channels is inevitable, the noise immunity is very important to quantum identity authentication. In this paper, a novel quantum identity authentication protocol based on three-photon error avoidance code is proposed. In this protocol, quantum information is encoded on the noiseless subsystem, so the protocol can effectively resist on the interference of noise in the quantum channel to information transmission. And the comprehensive analysis of antinoise performance and the security analysis on various eavesdropping attacks shows that the new protocol proposed in this paper has not only good anti-noise performance, but also good security.
