“…It can be also simply modified to add more quantum bits and one quantum communication for achieving two-way authentication while avoiding the use of entanglement. In addition, it can be combined with entanglement to extend a more secure multi-party authentication protocol [52].…”

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.

“…In addition, time-variant parameters guarantee uniqueness or timeliness to QIA schemes. Since Dušek et al proposed a QIA scheme in 1999 that combines the BB84 quantum key distribution with identity authentication [10], various QIA schemes using entangled states have been proposed [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Subsequently, encryption methods for quantum states have been explicitly specified, and QIA schemes that replace entangled states using a single qubit as a quantum source have been proposed.…”

Quantum authentication is a fundamental first step that ensures secure quantum communication. Although various quantum authentication methods have been proposed recently, their implementation efficiency is limited. This paper proposes a key-controlled maximally mixed quantum state encryption method using only a single qubit operation, which improves implementation feasibility and operation efficiency. We applied it to representative quantum authentication applications, namely, quantum identity and message authentication. The security of our authentication schemes was verified by analyzing the relationship between the integral ratio of Uhlmann's fidelity and probability of successful eavesdropping. Moreover, we demonstrate the higher authentication efficiency of the proposed scheme in a real quantum-channel noise environment.

“…The direct secure quantum communication protocols can be broadly categorized into two classes [27]. First, there are the deterministic secure quantum communication (DSQC) protocols [28][29][30][31], where the receiver can decode the secret message sent by the sender only after transmission of at least one bit of additional classical information for each qubit. Second, there are the quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols [26,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], which do not necessitate any exchange of classical information.…”

Nash equilibrium is employed to find a game theoretic robust security bound on quantum bit error rate (QBER) for DL04 protocol which is a scheme for quantum secure direct communication that has been experimentally realized recently. The receiver, sender and eavesdropper (Eve) are considered to be quantum players (players having the capability to perform quantum operations). Specifically, Eve is considered to have the capability of performing quantum attacks (e.g., Wójcik's original attack, Wójcik's symmetrized attack and Pavi£i¢ attack) and classical intercept and resend attack. Game theoretic analysis of the security of DL04 protocol in the above scenario is performed by considering several game scenarios. The analysis revealed the absence of a Pareto optimal Nash equilibrium point within these game scenarios. Consequently, mixed strategy Nash equilibrium points are identified and employed to establish both upper and lower bounds for QBER. Further, the vulnerability of the DL04 protocol to Pavicic attack in the message mode is established. In addition, it is observed that the quantum attacks performed by Eve are more powerful than the classical attack, as the QBER value and the probability of detecting Eve's presence are found to be lower in quantum attacks compared to classical ones.
