Abstract

This paper puts forward a novel quantum dialogue (QD) protocol without information leakage based on single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom. In this protocol, the receiver sends his private message to the sender in the way of quantum secure direct communication; and the receiver decodes out the private message of the sender with the help of auxiliary single photons in two degrees of freedom, double controlled-not (CNOT) operations and an auxiliary classical bit sequence sent from the sender. As a result, no information leakage takes place. Moreover, this protocol is proven to defeat the intercept-resend attack, the measure-resend attack, the entangle-measure attack and the Trojan horse attack from an outside eavesdropper. This protocol only employs single photons in two degrees of freedom as quantum resource and needs single-photon measurements. The qubit efficiency of this protocol is as high as 66.7%.

Quantum dialogue without information leakage based on single photons or logical qubits

Tian-Yu Ye

In this paper, a quantum dialogue (QD) protocol without information leakage is proposed at first by using single photons as the quantum resource, where each single photon is directly encoded for transmitting secret messages. Two communication parties share the quantum state generation rule in advance. The preparation party reads out the other party's secret messages by virtue of quantum secure direct communication. The other party decodes out the preparation party's secret messages with the aid of a classical information sequence indicating the preparation bases of single photons sent from the preparation party. In this way, the information leakage problem is avoided. The proposed protocol with single photons only needs the single-photon measurements. Different from Shi's two recent QD protocols based on single photons, the proposed protocol with single photons needs neither to prepare two adjacent single photons in the same quantum state nor to perform the controlled-not (CNOT) operations. Finally, the proposed protocol with single photons is generalized into the cases of resisting collective-dephasing noise and collective-rotation noise by using logical qubits as the quantum resource, respectively.

In this paper, a novel information-leakage-resistant quantum dialogue (QD) protocol with single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom is proposed. This protocol utilizes quantum encryption technology to overcome the information leakage problem; the protocol utilizes quantum encryption and decoy photon technologies to dually protect the single photons with two degrees of freedom used for encoding two communicants’ private classical bits, and makes the initial states of the single photons with two degrees of freedom for encoding shared between two communicants through quantum key encryption and decryption. The information-theoretical efficiency of this protocol is 40%.

Controlled quantum secure communication protocol with single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom

Lili Wang, Wenping Ma

In this paper, we propose a new controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC) protocol with single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom. Based on the defined local collective unitary operations, the sender’s secret messages can be transmitted directly to the receiver through encoding secret messages on the particles. Only with the help of the third side, the receiver can reconstruct the secret messages. Each single photon in two degrees of freedom can carry two bits of information, so the cost of our protocol is less than others using entangled qubits. Moreover, the security of our QSDC network protocol is discussed comprehensively. It is shown that our new CQSDC protocol cannot only defend the outsider eavesdroppers’ several sorts of attacks but also the inside attacks. Besides, our protocol is feasible since the preparation and the measurement of single photon quantum states in both the polarization and the spatial-mode degrees of freedom are available with current quantum techniques.

Efficient semi-quantum dialogue protocol using single-photon

Jian-Tao Cui, Jun-Yao Liu, Xiangjun Xin +3 more

Semi-quantum dialogue (SQD) enables secure bidirectional communication even when one participant has limited quantum capabilities. In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and quantum resource constraints, an efficient SQD protocol using single-photon is proposed. In the SQD, one communicating party needs to have semi-quantum capabilities to complete the dialogue, which could consume lower quantum resource. Moreover, single photons as quantum channels significantly reduces both preparation and operational costs. Finally, decryption can be performed without any classical disclosure, effectively preventing potential information leakage. Security analysis demonstrates resilience against common attacks, including intercept-resend, measure-resend, entanglement-measurement, and Trojan horse attacks, with no information leakage. Compared with existing semi-quantum dialogue protocols, our proposed protocol consumes fewer quantum resources while achieving higher communication efficiency and enhanced security.

Information leakage resistant quantum dialogue based on Grover’s quantum searching

Q. Chen, Xia Li, Tian-Yu Ye

Abstract This paper proposes a novel information leakage resistant quantum dialogue protocol based on Grover’s quantum searching. This protocol prevents the information leakage problem by directly transmitting the auxiliary two-particle product states from one user to another user. Security analysis proves that this protocol is able to defeat the intercept-resend attack, the measure-resend attack, the entangle-measure attack and the Trojan horse attack from an outside eavesdropper. The qubit efficiency of this protocol after ignoring the eavesdropping check processes is as high as 2/3. This protocol only employs two-particle product states as initial quantum resource, only needs single-particle measurements and does not need to implement quantum entanglement swapping.

An efficient quantum secure dialogue scheme without information leakage by using single photons

Zhenchao Zhu, Aiqun Hu, Anmin Fu

A quantum dialogue protocol based on single photons is proposed in this paper, two legitimate dialogue parties can send their secret messages to each other simultaneously. The protocol is secure against the denial of service attack, the delay-photon Trojan horse attack and invisible photon eavesdropping attack. Moreover, it can overcome the information leakage problem existed in most previous quantum dialogue protocols. Compared with the only secure quantum dialogue protocol based on single photons which also can overcome the information leakage problem as far as we know, our protocol has a higher efficiency for qubits. The protocol is experimentally feasible within current technologies.
