Recently, Huang et al. (2021) presented a quantum key agreement schemeto securely negotiate on a secret key employing the properties of a quantumsearch algorithm. First, the authors proposed the two-party quantum key agreement, and then they extended their work to the three-party case. Huang et al.‘s protocol employs the unitary operation and single-particle measurements to negotiate on a secret key without using complex quantum technologies such as quantum memory or entangled quantum particles. The authors claimed that their protocol is secure and efficient. However, this work shows that Huang et al.‘s protocol has a significant pitfall, where the private key of one user could be easily leaked to the attackers. Hence, the properties of security and fairness are not achieved. Accordingly, thetwo-party and three-party of Huang et al.’s protocol have been reviewed, and an improvementto address the shortcoming is suggested.

Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols are unconditionally secure, providing that quantum devices are truthful. Device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) protocols offer the prospect of distributing secret keys with minimal assumptions. The DI-QKD protocols are hard to implement using the current technologies as they require all the quantum devices to be uncharacterized. Measurement device independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) protocols assume that the measurement devices are not truthful; the adversary might make them. MDI-QKD is secure but more challenging to implement. Receiver-device-independent quantum key distribution (RDI-QKD) protocols assume that the receiver's measurement devices can be viewed as a black box while the sender's device can be trusted. RDI-QKD relies on reasonable assumptions that make it easy to implement using the current state-of-the-art technology. We propose an RDI-QKD protocol, called DGL22. DGL22 is secure against all known attacks that are allowed by quantum mechanics. DGL22 provides several benefits over previous protocols, including the capability to attain high communication and sifting efficiency.

In the quantum key agreement protocols, some attackers can impersonate legal participant to participate in the negotiation process and steal the agreement key easily. This is often overlooked for most quantum key agreement protocols, which makes them insecure. In this paper, an authenticated multiparty quantum key agreement protocol based on quantum search algorithm is proposed. In the protocol, combining classical hash function with identity information, the authentication operation conforming to the characteristics of search algorithm is designed. In addition, we give a detailed security analysis, which proves that the protocol is secure against common attacks and impersonation attacks. Meanwhile, single particles, which are used as information carries, and single-particle measurement make our protocol feasible with existing technology.
