Measurement-device-independent multi-party quantum key agreement

Quantum key agreement (QKA) is an important quantum cryptography primitive. In a QKA protocol, two or more untrusted parties can agree on an identical key in such a way that they equally influence the key and no subset can decide it alone. However, in practical QKA, the imperfections of the participant’s detectors can be exploited to compromise the security and fairness of QKA. To remove all the detector-side-channel loopholes, a measurement-device-independent multi-party QKA protocol is proposed. The protocol exploits the post-selected GHZ states to generate a secure agreement key between legitimate participants, while ensuring the fairness of key agreement. Our protocol provides a new clue for the design of practical QKA protocols.

Weakness of Several Identity-based Tripartite Authenticated Key Agreement Protocols.

Xi Lin, Lin Sun

Abstract: Key agreement allows multi-parties exchanging public information to create a common secret key that is known only to those entities over an insecure network. In recent years, several identity-based authenticated key agreement protocols have been proposed. In this study, we analyze three identity-based tripartite authenticated key agreement protocols. After the analysis, we found that these protocols do not possess the desirable security attributes.

Measurement-device-independent quantum dialogue protocol with bidirectional identity authentication

Shi‐Pu Gu, Jia‐Wei Ying, Xing-Fu Wang +2 more

Abstract Quantum dialogue (QD) realizes the real-time secure bidirectional quantum communication. Measurement-device-independent (MDI) QD can resist all possible attacks focusing on the imperfect measurement devices and enhance QD’s practical security. However, in practical applications, any secure communication requires identity authentication as a prerequisite. In this paper, we propose an MDI QD protocol with bidirectional identity authentication. The practical communication parties can first authenticate the identity of each other simultaneously before the message exchange. In theory, our MDI QD protocol has unconditional security and the communication parties can exchange 1.5 bits of messages in each communication round with linear optical Bell state measurement. We numerically simulate the secrecy message capacity of our MDI QD protocol. Our protocol has two advantages. First, it can effectively resist the impersonation attack and enhance MDI QD’s practical security. Second, it does not require keys to assist the message exchange and has relatively high efficiency. Our protocol has application potential in the future quantum communication field.
