“…Of course, one may need to slightly modify the original protocol of QKD to reduce it to a scheme for QIA. For example, such an effort was made in [89] where a scheme of QIA was obtained by slightly modifying BB84 protocol of QKD. Lately, a counterfactual QKD scheme was modified to propose a scheme for QIA in [76].…”

Secure communication has achieved a new dimension with the advent of the schemes of quantum key distribution (QKD) as in contrast to classical cryptography, quantum cryptography can provide unconditional security. However, a successful implementation of a scheme of QKD requires identity authentication as a prerequisite. A security loophole in the identity authentication scheme may lead to the vulnerability of the entire secure communication scheme. Consequently, identity authentication is extremely important and in the last three decades several schemes for identity authentication, using quantum resources have been proposed. The chronological development of these protocols, which are now referred to as quantum identity authentication (QIA) protocols, are briefly reviewed here with specific attention to the causal connection involved in their development. The existing protocols are classified on the basis of the required quantum resources and their relative merits and demerits are analyzed. Further, in the process of the classification of the protocols for QIA, it's observed that the existing protocols can also be classified in a few groups based on the [inherent computational tasks used to design the protocols. Realization of these symmetries has led to the possibility of designing a set of new protocols for quantum identity authentication, which are based on the existing schemes of the secure computational and communication tasks. The security of such protocols is also critically analyzed.

the reported research in literature for message transformation by a third party does not provide the necessary efficiency and security against different attacks. The data transmitted through the computer network must be confidential and authenticated in advance. In this paper, we develop and improve security of the braided single stage quantum cryptography. This improvement is based on a novel authentication algorithm by using signature verification without using the three stages protocol to share the secret key between the sender and receiver. This approach will work against attacks such as replay and man-in-the-middle by increasing the security as well as the over efficiency, reducing the overhead through using three stages and increasing the speed of the communication between two parties.

“…Since the first QIA protocol [14] was proposed in 1995, quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum entanglement have been widely used to design QIA protocols. Although the QKD-based protocol [15][16][17] can be easier implemented in reality, the limitations of the QKD protocol itself prevent further security improvements [18,19]. Quantum entanglement provides high security [20][21][22], multi-party authentication [23,24], and semi-quantum authentication [25,26] for some QIA protocols.…”

In this work, we propose a bit-oriented QIA protocol based on special properties of quantum rotation and the public key cryptographic framework. The proposed protocol exhibited good resistance to both forward search and measure-resend attacks, whereby its security performance was directly related to the length of the authentication code. From our analysis, it was demonstrated that the protocol has good performance, in terms of quantum bit efficiency. In addition, the protocol is well-expandable. The developed protocol is resource-efficient and can be also applied in quantum computing networks.
