Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols allow two parties to establish a shared secret key, secure against an all powerful adversary. This is a task impossible to achieve through classical communication only; indeed, to distribute a secret key through classical means requires one to assume computationally bounded adversaries. If, however, both parties are "quantum capable" then security may be attained assuming only that the adversary must obey the laws of physics. But "how quantum" must a protocol actually be to gain this advantage over classical communication? This is one of the questions semi-quantum cryptography seeks to answer.Semi-quantum communication, a model introduced in 2007 by M. Boyer, D. Kenigsberg, and T. Mor (PRL 99 140501), involves the use of fully-quantum users and semiquantum, or "classical" users. These classical users are only allowed to interact with the quantum channel in a limited, classical manner. Originally introduced to study the key-distribution problem, semi-quantum research has since expanded, and continues to grow, with new protocols, security proof methods, experimental implementations, and new cryptographic applications beyond key distribution. Research in the field of semi-quantum cryptography requires new insights into working with restricted protocols and, so, the tools and techniques derived in this field can translate to results in broader quantum information science. Furthermore, other questions such as the connection between quantum and classical processing, including how classical information processing can be used to counteract a quantum deficiency in a protocol, can shed light on important theoretical questions.This work surveys the history and current state-of-the-art in semi-quantum research. We discuss the model and several protocols offering the reader insight into how protocols are constructed in this realm. We discuss security proof methods and how classical post-processing can be used to counteract users' inability to perform certain quantum operations. Moving beyond key distribution, we survey current work in other * semi-quantum cryptographic protocols and current trends. We also survey recent work done in attempting to construct practical semi-quantum systems including recent experimental results in this field. Finally, as this is still a growing field, we highlight, throughout this survey, several open problems that we feel are important to investigate in the hopes that this will spur even more research in this topic.

Protecting the data from malicious activities in wireless standards is one of the challenging key tasks. Moreover, cryptography plays a vital role in protecting the data in wireless channels. But some of the harmful attacks easily break the crypto algorithm, so quantum cryptography is introduced; it is the transmission of photon also proved better security for the quantum channel than the classical cryptography. So the attack in the quantum channel is difficult, but once if the quantum channel gets attacked by harmful attacks, then preventing them is too difficult. So, to enhance the security of the quantum channel, the current research proposed a novel Binary Salt Blowfish (BSB) for the encryption and decryption process. The aim of this proposed model is to enhance the security in the quantum channel against harmful activities. The proposed model is applied in the BB84 dataset; also, to check the efficiency of the proposed model, the attack like Man In The Middle (MITM) attack and Ciphertext Only Attack (COA) is launched in the quantum channel. But the quantum channel remains secure while in the presence of the attack by an efficient proposed algorithm. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed approach is compared with recent existing works and achieved better results by attaining better confidential as 99% and less error rate as 0.1. Also, it has improved the confidential rate up to 9% than the existing approaches.

“…CloQ protocols involve at least one classical party (or CloQ party) who is restricted to using the four classical operations 1-4 described below for interacting with a quantum channel. CloQ protocols have been shown to exhibit highly interesting theoretical properties; currently, their most well understood application is SQKD (see [18] for a recent review), but CloQ protocols have also been devised to solve other cryptographic problems, including secret sharing [19], [20], [21], secure direct communication [22], [23], [24], [25], identity verification [26], [27], and private state comparison [28]. CloQ protocols may even be devised in the future for quantum verification by defining a CloQ variant of QPIP (quantum prover interactive proofs) [29], which could allow a CloQ party to verify quantum computations performed by a fully quantum center (or prover).…”

Semiquantum key distribution (SQKD) allows two parties (Alice and Bob) to create a shared secret key, even if one of these parties (say, Alice) is classical. However, most SQKD protocols suffer from severe practical security problems when implemented using photons. The recently developed "Mirror protocol" [1] is an experimentally feasible SQKD protocol overcoming those drawbacks. The Mirror protocol was proven robust (namely, it was proven secure against a limited class of attacks including all noiseless attacks), but its security in case some noise is allowed (natural or due to eavesdropping) has not been proved yet. Here we prove security of the Mirror protocol against a wide class of quantum attacks (the "collective attacks"), and we evaluate the allowed noise threshold and the resulting key rate.
