Quantum Public Key Encryption Protocol Based on Decoy States and Hash Function
Zedong Li, Jingtao Wang, X Chen
Quantum key distribution provides an effective means for achieving information-theoretically secure communication. Recently, Fu et al. proposed a quantum public key cryptography based on Bell states. However, this protocol cannot guarantee the integrity of information when facing tampering attacks. In this study, we first analyze the security vulnerabilities of the protocol, and then introduces the ideas of decoy states and hash functions to propose an improved quantum public key cryptography protocol. In addition, the use of unordered methods further ensures the security of information. After security analysis, it was found that this protocol can resist tampering attacks and has eavesdropping detection, which has higher security compared to existing protocols.
