Eavesdropping on the "ping-pong" quantum communication protocol.
نویسنده
چکیده
Security of the "ping-pong" quantum communication protocol recently proposed by Boström and Felbinger [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 187902 (2002)]] is analyzed in the case of considerable quantum channel losses. The eavesdropping scheme is presented, which reveals that the ping-pong protocol is not secure for transmission efficiencies lower than 60%. Our scheme induces 50% losses, which, however, can be hidden in the channel losses if one replaces the original lossy channel with a less lossy one. Finally, a possible improvement of the ping-pong protocol security is proposed.

Eavesdropping on the “ping-pong” type quantum communication protocols with invisible photon
The crucial issue of quantum communication protocol is its security. A quantum communication scheme must be based on the existing or nearly existing technology, but its security must be guaranteed against an eavesdropper whose technology is limited only by the laws of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we show that all the deterministic and direct two-way quantum communication protocols, sometim...
متن کاملEavesdropping on the Boström-Felbinger Communication Protocol in Noisy Quantum Channel
We show an eavesdropping scheme on Boström-Felbinger communication protocol ( called pingpong protocol ) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 187902 (2002)] in an ideal quantum channel. A measurement attack can be perfectly used to eavesdrop Alice’s information instead of a most general quantum operation attack. In a noisy quantum channel, the direct communication is forbidden. We present a quantum key distri...
متن کاملImproving the capacity of the ping-pong protocol
Since Bennett and Brassard presented the pioneer quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol in 1984 [1], there are a lot of theoretical QKD schemes [1-12] today. Recently, Beige et al. proposed a quantum secure direct communication scheme [13], which allows messages communicated directly without first establishing a random key to encrypt them. Bostroem and Felbingeer presented a ping-pong protocol...

Qing-yu Cai Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, 430071, People’s Republic of China Bostr .. om and Felbinger [1] have presented a ping-pong communication protocol which allows the information transferred in a deterministic secure manner. The security of this ping-pong protocol is based on an entangled pair of qubits. And the proof of the case of e...
متن کاملA general scheme for information interception in the ping pong protocol
The existence of an undetectable eavesdropping of dense coded information has been already demonstrated by Pavičić for the quantum direct communication based on the ping-pong paradigm. However, a) the explicit scheme of the circuit is only given and no design rules are provided, b) the existence of losses is implicitly assumed, c) the attack has been formulated against qubit based protocol only...
