Limited Resource Semi-Quantum Key Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
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” QKD protocols.

Restricted attacks on semi-quantum key distribution protocols
In this paper, we investigate single state, semi-quantum key distribution protocols. These are protocols whereby one party is limited to measuring only in the computational basis, while the other, though capable of measuring in both computational and Hadamard bases, is limited to preparing and sending only a single, publicly known qubit state. Such protocols rely necessarily on a two-way quantu...
متن کاملA New and Feasible Protocol for Semi-quantum Key Distribution
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols make it possible for two quantum parties to generate a secret shared key. Semi-quantum Key Distribution (SQKD) protocols, such as “QKD with classical Bob” and “QKD with classical Alice” (that have both been proven robust), achieve this goal even if one of the parties is classical. However, the currently existing SQKD protocols are not experimentally feas...
متن کاملIdentifying key steps in developing a one-stop shop for health policy and system information in a limited-resource setting: A case study
Background: There is limited understanding about the development of the online one-stop shops for evidence in a limited-resource setting, such as Uganda. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive account of the development process of the online resource for local policy and systems-relevant information in this setting. Methods: We utilized a case study design to address our objective where ...
متن کامل(Quantum) Min-Entropy Resources
We model (interactive) resources that provide Alice with a string X and a guarantee that any Eve interacting with her interface of the resource obtains a (quantum) system E such that the conditional (smooth) min-entropy of X given E is lower bounded by some k, H min(X |E) ≥ k. This (abstract) resource specification encompasses any setting that results in the honest players holding such a string...
متن کاملQuantum secret sharing with classical Bobs
Boyer, Kenigsberg, and Mor [Phys.Rev.Lett.99, 140501(2007)] proposed a novel idea of semi-quantum key distribution where a key can be securely distributed between Alice who can perform any quantum operation and Bob who is classical. Extending the idea of “semiquantum” to other tasks of quantum information processing is of interest and worth considering. In this article, we consider the issue of...
