چکیده
Semi-quantum key distribution (SQKD) is an important research issue which allows one quantum participant equipped with advanced devices to distribute a shared secret securely classical user who has restricted capabilities. In this paper, we propose SQKD protocol two different private keys users respectively at the same time. Alice distributes particle sequences from Bell states Bob and Charlie respectively. Once particles have been processed returned, can simultaneously detect reflected by based on Bell-state measurement generate raw keys. To enable more participants in sharing keys, be extended m + 1 party communication scheme employing -particle GHZ state. large-scale networks, model significantly reduces complexity of compared traditional scheme. Security analyses show that presented free several general attacks, such as entangle-measure attack, modification double CNOT so on.

Semi-Quantum Key Distribution
Secure key distribution among two remote parties is impossible when both are classical, unless some unproven (and arguably unrealistic) computation-complexity assumptions are made, such as the difficulty of factorizing large numbers. On the other hand, a secure key distribution is possible when both parties are quantum. What is possible when only one party (Alice) is quantum, yet the other (Bob...
متن کاملLimited Resource Semi-Quantum Key Distribution
A semi-quantum key distribution (SQKD) protocol allows a quantum user and a limited “classical” user to establish a shared secret key secure against an allpowerful adversary. In this work, we present a new SQKD protocol where the quantum user is also limited in her measurement capabilities. We describe the protocol, prove its security, and show its noise tolerance is as high as “fully quantum” ...
متن کاملQuantum Key Distribution in the Classical Authenticated Key Exchange Framework
Key establishment is a crucial primitive for building secure channels in a multi-party setting. Without quantum mechanics, key establishment can only be done under the assumption that some computational problem is hard. Since digital communication can be easily eavesdropped and recorded, it is important to consider the secrecy of information anticipating future algorithmic and computational dis...
متن کاملProof of security of quantum key distribution with two-way classical communications
Shor and Preskill have provided a simple proof of security of the standard quantum key distribution scheme by Bennett and Brassard (BB84) by demonstrating a connection between key distribution and entanglement purification protocols with one-way communications. Here we provide proofs of security of standard quantum key distribution schemes, BB84 and the six-state scheme, against the most genera...
متن کاملError tolerance of two-basis quantum key-distribution protocols using qudits and two-way classical communication
We investigate the error tolerance of quantum cryptographic protocols using d-level systems. In particular, we focus on prepare-and-measure schemes that use two mutually unbiased bases and a key-distillation procedure with two-way classical communication. For arbitrary quantum channels, we obtain a sufficient condition for secret-key distillation which, in the case of isotropic quantum channels...
