Cryptanalysis of a Practical Quantum Key Distribution with Polarization-Entangled Photons

T. Beth, Jörn Müller‐Quade, Rainer Steinwandt

Recently, a quantum key exchange protocol has been described\cite{PFLM04}, which served as basis for securing an actual bank transaction by means of quantum cryptography \cite{ZVS04}. The authentication scheme used to this aim has been proposed by Peev et al. \cite{PML04}. Here we show, that this authentication is insecure in the sense that an attacker can provoke a situation where initiator and responder of a key exchange end up with different keys. Moreover, it may happen that an attacker can decrypt a part of the plaintext protected with the derived encryption key.

Bank Transfer Over Quantum Channel With Digital Checks

Yoshito Kanamori, Seong-Moo Yoo, Frederick T. Sheldon

In recent years, many quantum cryptographic schemes have been proposed. However, it seems that there are many technical difficulties to realize them (except Quantum Key Distributions) as practical applications. In this paper, we propose a bank transfer (i.e., funds or Electronic Funds Transfer) system utilizing both classical and quantum cryptography to provide theoretically unbreakable security. This system can be realized using current technologies (e.g., linear polarizers and Faraday rotators) and requires no additional authentication and no key distribution scheme. However, a trusted third party must keep all member banks' private keys for encryption, authentication and also for functions to generate classical digital signatures.

We describe recent advances in quantum cryptography, focusing on practical implementations, using encodings in continuous or discrete variables of light, of central quantum network protocols, including quantum key distribution, coin flipping and entanglement verification.
